Has to cover up by setting up Bristol as a lobbyist. Are they loosing the house and Todd's snow machine business?

Did stop supporting her and the kids.

3. She looks like the type who would scramble for money
She probably thinks money can buy her happiness, just like every other Repuke.

8. they should be more like the D's, shouldn't they
be more concerned about the rights of the citizens, and particularly their supporters.

Damn - I sure am glad our party is not greedy.

9. She's not broke.
I think she's just shoring up some money to fight future legal battles. Get while the gettin's good, make hay while the sun shines, whatever cliche works.

She has short shelf life. I think some bad stuff is going to happen to her this year.

13. Blagojevich Syndrome
Edited on Wed Jan-06-10 04:35 PM by DeeOwl
It is the "Blagojevich Syndrome". You know how these types are, right? They constantly wine-and-dine with various celebrities/politicians/power-brokers at what can only be described as Saddam-Hussein-style palace complexes. (Yet the media just identifies these places by town/city name and state only. How cute.) Anyways, so at the lower end of the spectrum, the little fish that is, your Palins, Blagojeviches, and what not, they get all upset and want a bigger piece of the pie.

It's not that she doesn't have money, it's that she wants more. Sort of a politician's version of "Keeping up with the Joneses".

Palin: Cheney has a leer jet?! I want one too!

15. She's a working class Republican with aspirations for nouveau richeness
I've seen a gazillion souls like this. It's her shot at a little gold, which no doubt will help fund her runs in 2012 (when she barely loses to Mitt Romney) and 2016 (when she reinacts Dan Quayle's 1996 performance).
