Palin the Celebrity
Thursday, April 30, 2009 at 9:57 am
OK, it’s possible to read too much into this news. Or, more properly, “news.”
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin recently welcomed the crew from Orange County Choppers – whose custom motorcycle business is featured on TLC’s American Chopper – to Anchorage where show star Paul Teutul Sr. researched building a bike to honor Alaska’s 50-year anniversary of being a state.
“It means so much to the state of Alaska that these guys are building this bike that will honor statehood here,” Palin says in the episode.
With the shrinking of her political action committee and the launch of her legal fund, and her bizarre preference for public statements about her grandson’s father instead of statements about policy, it really seems like Palin is pulling a Mike Huckabee: transferring her political popularity into a ‘roided-up version of her old, fun career.

It's called promoting the state, since apparently the federal government wants to lock up the oil and gas
and gold and other minerals, where does the revenue come from. Huckabee does't have a job, where his decisions mean anything

She has release policy statements it's just that you people don't choose to cover her when she releases these statements
I don't understand how people got this wrong…. This was 5 months ago and people are playing it like she was courting them recently.
btw, Palin has a twitter page

You need to do better research…or just do research period….duh…and it might help you to get out of DC once in awhile. Many people love bikes in the fly over country. But, put that aside, this is a million dollar custom made bike promoting 50 years of AK statehood….and you want to make fun of her for promoting it and her STATE. Ohh…and I see you have information that her piolitical action committee is shrinking or did you just wing that since no one lese has that information.
You and many people are in for a rare surprise when you see how much money she is going to have in her Pac….

Why is it that everyone in the world but the supposed “REPORTER” (you) knows that the biker show was shot just after the election? You MSM hacks are a laugh a minute. Nice REPORTING.
By the way, how long before this rag goes down like all the others. Your corrupt Obama worship has killed the credibility of journalism and now its time to pay the piper. PIPER. Get it. No, you probably don't.

What an idiotic, dishonest and misleading statement about a gifted person like Sarah Palin. Keep spinning your garbage and trying to control the framing of her image. Mr. David Weasel. “You sow to the wind, you reap the whirlwind”. Good luck with that one! One unfailing principal, that people like you and Obama know nothing about. “You can't keep a good person down”, and that is what Sarah Palin is, and that is what you and Obama are not….
