A Democrat representing the people of Juneau which is in SE Alaska, left his position. This left an empty seat in the Alaska legislature for a Juneau, SE Alaska, representative. The people of Juneau, SE Alaska, voted for a Democratic representative. State law requires that the Governor replace this representative with a Democrat. Historically, the Governor picks the person the Democratic (or Republican if the person leaving was Republican)party recommends. She did not. She picked the person who used to be a Republican who remembered he was really a Democrat to fill the position. The legislature has to approve this choice which, I'm just guessing here, isn't going to happen.

So, now do you understand why the people in SE Alaska aren't happy with her pick?

Geeze.......
I did enough research to see several of the investigators in the above picture and enough to also notice one of the "unbiased" members was appointed to the opposing sides cabinet. that's pretty much the definition of cronyism. Only cronies don't recognize it.

She's so narcissistic she has been trying to marginalize a private citizen radio talk show host.

I have a feeling your outrage is going to fall on deaf ears.

I have a feeling that the outrage of the people of Juneau will not fall on "deaf ears".

"One"!!! WOW!!!

This investigator knew last year, July, that he was going to be appointed to the 'opposing sides cabinet'. Hey, I think that was a good choice. Someone who can see into the future!!! Now, that's my kind of 'appointee'!

Obama is not a in your face Christian extremist like Palin.
Therefore my point is, she's so much of a do as I say, not as I do, person.

thanks for giving yet another example.

Funny how Barney Frank can have a job in a democrat congress and Joe Biden gets the VP...yet you think PALIN is dumb?

Seriously....that's just silly.

In case anyone is interested, the saga continues. After nominating Grussendorf:

The Senate Democrats rejected her selection.

Palin then objected to the Democrat's rejection saying they didn't have the authority to do so in a closed door session.

The Democrats then fowarded a list of names asking Palin to pick somebody from that list.

Palin selected someone else not on that list.

The Democrats say they may consider her latest selection.

And the latest - Palin is now scolding the Democrats for taking so long to confirm a person they didn't want in the first place.

This is high comedy - you can't make this stuff up!

Sorry, she is nothing more than ignorant. She got where she is at today because she is an opportunist and basically was groomed by Ted Stevens. You know the ole story, it's not who you know but who you blow...

Sweet Jesus, Duckster, I know you have the hots for Sarah, but I don't think she would like your kind. Can you back off a while, like several months, give us all a break. Zip up and act like a man.
