Former Fat Person Mike Huckabee Doesn’t Think Michelle Obama Is a Dessert Tyrant -- Daily Intel - Audio
Former Fat Person Mike Huckabee Doesn’t Think Michelle Obama Is a Dessert Tyrant -- Daily Intel: "In the warped reality in which Sarah Palin resides, when Michelle Obama says that children should not eat dessert every day because they are all obese and will grow up to get the diabetus, this really means that America 'should not have dessert' and that she doesn't 'trust parents to make decisions for their own children.' Mike Huckabee is actually an expert on eating dessert — he used to be 300 pounds — and said yesterday that Palin is just wrong."

Sarah Palin Uses PAC to Buy Her Own Book - ABC News
Sarah Palin Uses PAC to Buy Her Own Book
Political Action Committee Paid More than $60,000 for Copies of 'Going Rogue' in Late 2009
Sarah Palin has been using her political action committee to buy up thousands of copies of her book, "Going Rogue," in order to mail copies of the memoir to her donors, newly filed campaign records show.
The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate had her political organization spend more than $63,000 on what her reports describe as "books for fundraising donor fulfillment." The payments went to Harper Collins, her publisher, and in some instances to HSP Direct, a Virginia-based direct mail fundraising firm that serves a number of well-known conservative politicians and pundits.
Sarah PAC spent another $8,000 on colorful bookmarks designed by a Nashville-based event branding firm. And her committee paid her publisher $20,000 for what appears to have been the cost of sending her personal photographer and another aide along on her book tour. Those expenses are listed by the PAC as travel repayment to Harper Collins.
All of the purchases took place in November and December of 2009, the records show.

Wasilla Trailer Park Chronicles - 08 Apr 09 - Levi Johnston: Palin is lying
By: Andy Barr
April 8, 2009 01:38 PM EST
The father of Sarah Palin’s grandchild accused the Alaska governor on Wednesday of lying about him and his family.
Levi Johnston said during an interview on CBS’s “Early Show” that he moved into the governor’s house a few weeks before Bristol Palin gave birth to their child.
Palin’s camp has denied the claim, but Johnston insisted the governor is not telling the truth. “They said I didn't live there,” he said. “I was like, 'OK, well, whatever you want to call it. I had my stuff there.'”
Asked if the Palin was lying about him, Johnston simply said: “Yes.”
Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton lashed out at the 18-year-old over the weekend, prior to his appearance Monday on the “Tyra Banks Show.”
“We’re disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration and even distortion of their relationship,” Stapleton said. “It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well-being of the child.”
Johnston denied Wednesday that he is trying to “exploit” his relationship with the governor’s family.
“We're not cashing in on their name,” he said.“I'm just trying to get my side of the story out there and letting people know who I am.”
Looking back at his time in the spotlight, Johnston said the biggest misconception about him is “that my family’s white trash.”

Alaska is a sovereign state? - Wasilla Trailer Park Chronicles - 07 Apr 09
“I am deeply concerned with North Korea’s development and testing program which has clear potential of impacting Alaska, a sovereign state of the United States, with a potentially nuclear armed warhead,” Governor Palin said. “I can’t emphasize enough how important it is that we continue to develop and perfect the global missile defense network. Alaska’s strategic location and the system in place here have proven invaluable in defending the nation.”

Wasilla Trailer Park Chronicles -04 Apr 09
Todd Palin's half sister is arrested for burglary (from ADN)
WASILLA -- Todd Palin's half-sister was arrested Thursday after police say she broke into a Wasilla home to steal money for the second time this week but ended up getting caught by the armed homeowner. The woman's 4-year-old daughter was nearby, police said.
Todd Palin is Gov. Sarah Palin's husband. He referred questions to a spokeswoman for the governor, who said the family would have no comment.
Police arrested 35-year-old Diana Palin at a house on West Mill Site Circle near Wasilla's Multi-Use Sports Complex.
Homeowner Theodore Turcott told police an unfamiliar gray 1993 Toyota Camry pulled into his driveway Thursday morning, according to a affidavit filed Friday at the Palmer courthouse. Turcott told police he'd been burglarized twice recently: Someone stole $2,200 on March 26, leaving $400 behind, and after another apparent break-in Tuesday, all but $9 was gone.
So, Turcott told police, when he didn't recognize the woman getting out of the Camry, he grabbed a gun and hid in the bathroom to see what would happen, said Wasilla police Deputy Chief Greg Wood.
Palin made straight for the bedroom cabinet where Turcott kept his cash, Wood said.
Turcott confronted her, detaining her until police arrived, he said.
But before officers got there, Palin's 4-year-old daughter came into the house, the prosecutor handling the case said during a Palmer District Court hearing Friday.
"There was a significant safety issue regarding this 4-year-old child," prosecutor Mike Walsh told Judge John Wolfe.
The girl told police she'd been to the house a couple of days earlier, the affidavit stated. Palin, however, said she had never been there before, and mistakenly thought it was a friend's house.
Police arrested Palin on felony burglary charges stemming from the break-ins Thursday and Tuesday, as well as misdemeanor theft and criminal trespass charges. Her tire tracks and footprints appeared to match those in photographs taken earlier by Turcott, police said.
She remained jailed at Mat-Su Pretrial Facility in lieu of $10,000 bail Friday afternoon.
The Palmer District Attorney's office is deciding whether to also pursue child endangerment charges, Wood said. He said other charges could also be filed stemming from the first break-in at Turcott's when the case goes to a Palmer grand jury next week.
At Friday's hearing, Palin appeared shaken but polite, answering, "Yes, please," when Wolfe asked if she wanted a court-appointed, state-funded public defender, a request the judge granted.
How Turcott's house was chosen remains unclear. Palin and her husband, Scott McLean, live in a completely different neighborhood on the other side of Wasilla.
McLean was not at the Friday hearing. Earlier in the day, he said he had learned of his wife's arrest when police called him Thursday morning to come pick up their daughter. He'd assumed Palin had been arrested for driving on a suspended license due to a series of traffic offenses including speeding and expired registration.
He said he didn't recognize Turcott's address, and said he had no idea why his wife would be at a house so far from her own -- the sports complex is on the west side of Wasilla, while the Palin home is halfway to Palmer, near Mat-Su Regional Medical Center.
McLean said he was still in shock. His wife, a stay-at-home mom, took good care of their 4- and 6-year-old children, he said.
"Everything seemed normal," he said.

She tells him he can't take the baby to our house because she doesn't want him around 'white trash'!"
Who didn't see this coming? Star magazine reports that Sarah Palin's 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, has broken off her engagement with her child's father, Levi Johnston. His sister Mercede told the tabloid that "Levi tries to visit Tripp every single day, but Bristol makes it nearly impossible. She tells him he can't take the baby to our house because she doesn't want him around 'white trash'!" She also claims that Bristol ended their relationship more than a month ago, despite Palin's daughter proclaiming all was well in an interview last month with Greta Van Susteren. Their child, Tripp, is two months old. If the report is true, what will Levi do with the tattoo of Bristol's name he has on his ring finger?
