'game changer' for North Slope gas pipeline



Is that the "iceberg" the Alaska Report mentions?
Rumor Central: Big story still heading towards the S.S. Palin
A deal-breaker is heading toward the Palins. Can it be stopped? I don't think so. Will it topple the house of cards, all signs say yes. Stay tuned...
What say The Immoral Minority about icebergs now?

Sarah Palin's sensitivities are a little strange:
Palin is LOSING IT--A legal battle with Houston (Texas) Crack Hos?

She started the Letterman kerfuffle in a Sean Hannity performance. Her problem at that time was the joke about makeup from Bloomingdale's

The joke: "Bought makeup from Bloomingdale's to update her 'slutty flight attendant' look."

Who cares? Sarah Palin, John Ziegler, Fox News and Sean Hannity.
Palin responded to the comment saying, "What a commentary there ... That’s pretty pathetic, good ol' David Letterman." She spoke on John Ziegler's radio show Tuesday afternoon in Los Angeles. She added that she had not visited Bloomingdale's and concluded, "Slow news day, evidently."
By no means was that the end of the Letterman kerfuffle, it has been morphing ever since Hannity and is now the best fund raising ploy she has. Sarah is asking people to "rise up" and who would that be? The bold that claim "grass roots" and have bonded in tea bags. Look who wants Letterman fired, the national tea party organizer Michael Patrick Leahy. (FACEBOOK) photo > > > > >
Sarah's Wasilla Teabagger Picnic . Sarah Palin did attend and was photographed. Her gang at conservatives4palin have the images.

The Palin charisma has infected Texas as well. Russell Korman, owner of Russell Korman's Fine Jewelry & Watches, filed a complaint Thursday with the Federal Communications Commission. Speaking about Letterman he said "I really think it was intent to hurt a public figure by going through their children." He thinks?

Sarah Palin plays feminist.

"Cut His Mic"

At home with Sarah Palin
MSNBC's Contessa Brewer on Wednesday hosted John Ziegler, documentary filmmaker and professional Sarah Palin-supporter, for another one of those vertiginous interviews that have become Ziegler's stock in trade.


Serving as the news peg for this one was a comedy bit from David Letterman that made fun of Sarah Palin, at times rather viciously. Of course, the problem with interviewing John Ziegler about anything, is that pretty soon, the subject of conversation becomes John Ziegler.

And this interview was no different. Basically, it's five minutes of Contessa Brewer attempting to ask questions and Ziegler responding with tangentially-related anti-MSNBC agitprop. Ziegler led off the interview by referring to MSNBC as "Barack Obama's official network," grousing about how the topic of the interview wasn't Keith Olbermann, answering questions glancingly and with subtle digs, and, OF COURSE, making sure to plug his website and movie. Brewer played her part by being miffed and appalled right up until the moment where she calls a halt to the discussion and asks for Ziegler's mike to be cut.

One of the substantive points that Brewer brings up is the fact that a new Gallup poll indicates that Palin doesn't rate among self-identified Republicans as any sort of party leader. Ziegler blamed MSNBC for that: "You find this surprising or shocking that because you and the media portray Republicans as old white men, that the public perceives Republicans as old white men?" Yes. The perception that the GOP was filled with old, white men was invented by the media, in 2009, to hurt Sarah Palin's electoral chances. Truly, a cunning bit of subterfuge.
