BREAKING NEWS: FEDERAL INDICTMENTS PENDING AGAINST SARAH PALIN

[link to www.bradblog.com]

FURTHER UPDATE: Okay, I've now been able to get independent information from multiple sources that all of this precedes what are said to be possible federal indictments against Palin, concerning an embezzlement scandal related to the building of Palin's house and the Wasilla Sports Complex built during her tenure as Mayor. Both structures, it is said, feature the "same windows, same wood, same products." Federal investigators have been looking into this for some time, and indictments could be imminent, according to the Alaska sources.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Under Relentless Siege from Alaska’s Citizens, Announces Resignation - Updated
By: EdwardTeller Friday July 3, 2009 2:55 pm

At a news conference, held in front of the windows in her home that look exactly like some of the windows in the Wasilla Sports Complex (Palin's most dubious achievement as Wasilla mayor), Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announced she will be resigning her duties in two weeks. Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, the man who put the "lack" in "lackluster," will assume her duties at that time.

The resignation comes as Palin is unsuccessfully attempting to deal with many issues in Alaska, and as her popularity among the bulk of Alaskans plummets.

Strangely proclaiming that she knows "when to pass the ball for victory," she stated in the conference that she will hand over the reins at the conclusion of the Alaska Governor's Picnic, later this month.

Palin, in her comments made allusion to recent caricatures of her with her youngest child, Trig, whose face has been photoshopped out of pictures in a variety of ways, first by Alaska bloggers, then covered extensively by Wonkette and other humor sites.

Watching Palin give her conference, between her house and Todd's Piper Cub, she seems to be on the verge of facade crackup.

Although speculation about possible investigations into aspect of her conduct, both as Alaska Governor, and in her earlier job as Wasilla Mayor, has been rampant, there is no hard data to indicate that any of the rumored investigations into Palin or the Palins will come to a conclusion soon.

Most recently, she has seen a crash in fundraising efforts. Last week, the Palin shrine, Conservatives4Palin, concluded a weeklong effort to raise $500,000 for Palin's legal bils, having reached only 21% of their goal. Wednesday, the state began releasing figures that indicated the majority of expenses borne by the state, involving so-called "ethics complaints' involving Palin, have resulted from a complaint Palin had filed against herself, and from complaints that resulted in negotiated settlements adverse to the governor's claim that she is a crusader for ethics reform.

Her legal bills are approaching 2/3 of a million dollars. Much, if not almost all, of her legal bills stem from her own conduct as governor, and over issues having to do what her daughter's son's father is strongly suspected of holding over the family.

Yesterday, a new records request was filed by one of Alaska's most activist bloggers, Linda Kellen Biegel.

With the web publication of the August issue of Vanity Fair's long article about Palin, and the high level of infighting among GOP figures and people involved in the 2008 McCain-Palin campaign about aspects of that article, Palin, for the fourth week in a row, was insinuated into the news in a garish way unprecedented in American politics.

Outside of Alaska, once a week for the past month, she made headlines that couldn't have helped anyone's long-term prospects:

1) She went back and forth with the GOP on whether or not she would speak or even attend the summer's major fundraiser for GOP legislators.

2) She picked a fight with David Letternman. Only far right groups like the Tea Party and her most devoted advocates believe Palin won that fight.

3) The thorough portrait of Palin in Todd Purdam's Vanity Fair article seemed to be ushering in a review of the piles and piles of material that came out on Palin last year, during the fall presidential campaign.

Inside of Alaska, though, these past two weeks have had the potential of a looming disaster for her.

Resentment against her policies by Alaska Natives has been simmering just below a boil all winter and spring. This past week, the resentment boiled over into open civil disobedience, as villagers along the Yukon not only fished in closed waters to obtain food for winter, they defied Palin's law enforcement agencies openly. In the village of Marshall, police officers joined in the illegal subsistence fishing, not even bothering to hide their involvement.

I've caught her in at least four major lies during the past six or seven days.

What we are seeing here is either a preface to some indictment, or the final chapter in the career of what has been the biggest political joke of the 21st century. She is so obviously a combination of extreme narcissism and even more extremely bad advice by really, really pathetically bad advisors.

Watching the family scene at her house on the raw video running on CNN right now, it is obvious that little knowledge about this was shared ahead of time, no matter what Palin said in the conference itself.

Andrea Mitchell is now being reported as claiming Palin has told some close to her that she is through with politics.

No matter where this goes next, as a Democrat, I am very excited that we can use her eclipse to leverage enough excitement in 2010 to take over our state legislature. Whether we can also regain the governor's office or finally unseat Don Young depends on how good the candidates we put into those races are.

Our Alaska bloggers, so generously covered by Eric Boehlert in Bloggers on the Bus, feel like setting off our fireworks today!

I might even go out and buy a $100 bottle of wine to share with my wife. Any suggestions?

Update: This just in my inbox, from a source connected sometimes to CNN:

"Here's a quote I got from law enforcement here in Alaska yesterday afternoon regarding Palin "a criminal indictment is pending authorization."
Andrea Michell is still alive ? I thought she died.she is real old . So its good she has an aid now, and even a job.
insulated windows in alaska all look the same with updated property ...local wood, would be used i guess.. Vanity fair is hardly a a good judge of many things. . mainly someones health without a medical Doctor to back up accusations. many advertisements for medicine are vague and misleading anyway ...most Anti Depression Medication advertisements would have almost the intire globe on anti depressants ..Anti Depressants still will not cure disatifaction with ones life or even a Broken Heart.. dissatifaction in ones life only comes with good choices to slowly improve ones life with dedication and work toward realistic goals .time heals Broken Hearts. or lessens the agony of it.. overlay sad memories with good new memories with good friends . life is kinda like a layer cake. Make a new layer now and then . cause old layers just get stale and useless .

WHO'S NAILIN' PALIN??

WHO'S NAILIN' PALIN??

A) Yes, the media did a hit job on her last year.

B) She was in way over her head on the national level and was tossing 'em softballs at every turn.

C) No politician would commit political suicide like this if something else wasn't going on.

To me this means either that Palin is contemplating suicide or else she was informed of some planetary disaster about to occur.

Sanford and his lie that he was going hiking in which Fox news said"Whats the big deal he is hiking"???LOL!!

Sanford and his lie that he was going hiking in which Fox news said"Whats the big deal he is hiking"???LOL!!



yeah he was hiking alright :)

You try being a governor of a state that watches your every move and every time you turn around some dip shit Obama community activist is charging her with another ethics violation..of which none have stuck...because this whole thing was done by the Democrats to smear her and destroy her career..this is also the work of your Messiah Obama and his army of community organizers going around the country and discrediting every potential rival of his for the next election...its Chicago mob tactics and she saw through it..
She is not done with politics though..you watch...shes gonna come in through the back door and blow everyone away ..when she runs for president in 2012..i wouldnt be surprised to see her change parties and run as an independent since both the Republicans and Democrats are in bed with each other now on destroying our country...
Call it what you may but its the smartest thing she could have done under the circumstances..
"Desperate times call for desperate measures"..and these times my friends are desperate indeed for our country..if we want to save our rights and the constitution our country was founded under you better start listening to what she has to say..she is America..
