Alternative Stimulus Plan?

And then there is Sarah Palin who came to town to attend the AlfaLfa Dinner.

So she was the only Gov that went to the Alfalfa Dinner or went to DC try to get in on the stimulus $$$? Or did she make the news because she was high profile?

Call your congressman and tell him/her to live up to the Alaska Statehood deal and let us keep 80% of the sales of our natural resources and AK wont need any fed stimulus $$$. While you have your congressman on the phone tell him/her to support openning ANWAR and AK wont need any fed stimulus $$$.

Nah, I was using her name because you got in the mix. I knew you would chime in here again.

I was pointing out that it doesn't appear the Senate will be a total NO vote on the stimulus bill.

Washington elite.

Palin stiffs the House Republicans

ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports: When House Republicans planned their annual winter retreat, they extended an invitation to Alaska Gov. Sara Palin, hoping the party's 2008 vice presidential nominee would give a morale-building speech to the more than 130 Republican members of Congress gathered this weekend in Hot Springs, Va.

Retreat organizers tell ABC News that Palin politely declined, giving a perfectly understandable reason. According to the Congressional Institute, which hosted the conference, Palin said she simply could not make it to the retreat because pressing state business made it impossible for her to leave Alaska this weekend.

So where is Palin this weekend? She's in Washington, D.C., attending the super-elite Alfalfa Dinner.

"She lied to us," said a Republican at the retreat.

Asked why Palin told the Republicans she could not leave Alaska this weekend, Palin spokesman Bill McAllister offered this non-responsive answer:

"My understanding is that the governor has not scheduled any partisan events on her current trip to D.C.," McAllister told ABC News.

The House Republicans seemed to do just fine without Palin. Their list of speakers included Republican stars Michael Steele, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Newt Gingrich.

Asked about Palin's no-show, House Republican leader John Boehner shrugged.

"Whatever," Boehner said.

Where is the link for this? It cannot be true unless there is a link!

Sarah Palin and Rod Blagojevich are exhibiting the same behavior...get in the media as much as you can!

Man you guys have a thing for Sarah Palin. You get a win and you won't let it go. LOL If she is so stupid and insignificant, why are you still talking about her?

Liz, I still look forward to your thoughts on the "stimulus" bill making its way through Congress.

Good luck with that.

Ms. Palin puts her unmarried daughter on the cover of People magazine with her new baby. Two weeks later Palin calls the media for a news conference to complain the media are still talking about her children.

I find that as attention seeking as Blagojevich running around New York City making a fool of himself.

Both goofy. And although I am at heart an Illini -- I will not call you passive-aggressive or aggressive-aggressive or even passive-passive if you make jokes about Blagojevich.

p.s. Is there aggressive-passive too?

They probably could invent a case if needed. Hey, what about a case
of dumb & aggressive? Sounds possible.

It would be an epidemic!

How about just dumb & dumb...or in the case of our Three Stooges...Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest?

So you see no difference between the two stories and the type of media attention they are getting? If I where to make fun of Blago there would be nothing passive about it.

My bad it was 90% not 80%, not the 50% split we get now. Source, and full text here.

(1) 90 per centum thereof shall be paid by the Secretary of the Treasury to the State of Alaska for disposition by the legislature thereof; and (2) 10 per centum shall be deposited in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of miscellaneous receipts."

Not only is that a stretch but insulting as well. Why they are in the media are two very different behaviors.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Not only is that a stretch but insulting as well.

To Blagojevich?

To Blagojevich?

So you find an impeached politian more ethical, why am I not suprised.

No...I find you lacking a sense of humor! Why am I not surprised?
