 Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2008 6:43 pm Post subject: The Sarah Palin soap opera doesn't stop |
 |
|
Now Levi Johnston's (Sarah's son-in-law) mom has been busted for drugs
| Quote: | Sarah Palin's co-grandma-to-be was arrested on drug charges yesterday.
| Quote: | | A 42-year-old Wasilla woman was arrested Thursday at her home by Alaska State Troopers with a search warrant in an undercover drug investigation. Sherry L. Johnston was charged with six felony counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance. Johnston is the mother of Levi Johnston, the Wasilla 18-year-old who received international attention in September when Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, announced their teenage daughter was pregnant and he was the father. Bristol Palin, 18, is due on Saturday, according to a recent interview with the governor's father, Chuck Heath. Troopers served the warrant at Johnston's home at the "conclusion of an undercover narcotics investigation," said a statement issued Thursday by the troopers as part of the normal daily summary of activity around the state. Troopers charged Johnston with second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance -- generally manufacturing or delivering drugs -- as well as fourth-degree misconduct involving controlled substances, or possession. |
Bristol is due to give birth on Saturday. Hopefully MethMaw will be able to attend. |
Yep... just a reg'lar fambly, awwright...

I initially thought she would go away and was all set to change my sig line but then I reconsidered: Since the Repugs have been reduced to a white male Christo-fascist rump, she may just be their candidate for 2012. Even the neo-cons like Frum have bailed and what few "moderate" GOPers were left were either defeated or left the party. Sarracuda (and the oh so typical hypocrisy of her Xtian piousness contrasted with her drug taking, fornicating redneck family) will be with us for some time to come. So my sig line stays!

I wonder if it's marijuana-quite common in Alaska-or Crystal Meth-even more common.  |

If it's the latter, that would be more embarrassing for Palin herself, since her tenure as mayor of Wasilla has been linked to an upsurge of meth usage. So she probably doesn't need more articles in the media linking her to that particular drug. |

Surprisingly for a right wing state weed was decriminalized in AK for quite some time and the cops still tend to enforce the marijuana laws like in Vancouver; possession of small amounts are ok, just don't publicly flaunt using it. I suspect shew was either growing pot or cooking meth.
From the comments section on Wonkette:
| Quote: | Come and listen to a story ‘bout a dude named Todd
With his wife Sarah Palin, had no clue but a nice bod
And then one day they were shootin’ at some food
And up from the left came a crusty old dude
McCain that is…Ensure drinker…Depends filler
Well the first thing you know, Sarah’s runnin’ for V.P.
McCain’s wife said, “You two don’t look so good to me!”
She said “Nieman Marcus is the place you gotta be”
Spent two hundred grand on clothes, but they’re fuckin’ hillbillies.
Snowbillies that is…next to Russia…no magazines
It’s finally time to say “Goodbye” to Sarah and her kin
Joe The Plumber fixed the outhouse, thank you for depositin’
You’re all invited back sometime to grand old Wasilly
To snort some meth and shoot some moose and be a hillbilly
Snowbilly that is…It’s cold!
Leave your shoes on
Come on back now, doggone it! *wink*

I remember when they recriminalized weed, an American magazine had an article about the legal history involved. According to this article, Alaska used to be more libertarian than social-conservative, but that all changed with an influx of people from the mainland who went to work in the oil industry. |

| It is a very similar demographic here in the Yukon. If you're not born here you're either running away from something or running to something. It is a pretty transient population and fluxes with the economy. I really like it. |

| Certainly not religious fundamentalism (that I have seen) but many do have a libertarian slant and I think that is a big draw for some people coming here, still the perception of the wild west and that is true especially outside of Whitehorse. |

Well, right-wing libertarianism and right-wing seccessionism aren't always the same thing. You do have kind of a "rugged frontier" mentality among the western-Canada separatists, for example, but I don't think those guys really qualify as libertarian. Certainly, most of them don't identify as such. |

More ... apparently her office wants to charge $10,000-$65,000 for complying with access to info requests for her emails, according to David Corn of Mother Jones. Partly because she's a Yahoo user, even for official-like stuff.
| Quote: | ... During the general election, I filed an open records act request for all emails that had gone to and from Palin in her official capacity. And Alaska citizen watchdog Andrée McLeod, who had long been peppering Palin's office with similar requests, did the same. At a time when Palin was on the hot seat as Senator John McCain's vice presidential running mate, her office replied that it would cost over $65,000 to round up all of Palin's emails and that Mother Jones would have to cover this cost.
The problem: Palin had used at least two nonofficial email accounts (such as a Yahoo account) to conduct her state business. Given that the governor's office did not have access to those accounts, its information specialists had concluded that the only way to gather all her emails would be to search the state email accounts for about 70 people who worked within the executive offices of the governor and look for emails to and from Palin's nonofficial email accounts. Palin's office estimated it would cost almost a thousand dollars for each search of these 70 or so official accounts. [They backed down on this]
... On December 5, Linda Perez, Palin's administrative director, sent me a letter noting that Alaska's Department of Administration had completed the job of assembling Palin's emails into a single account. "The account is now available for records production purposes," she wrote. In all, there are approximately 25,700 emails in this account, the letter reported.
But they are not yet ready for release, and now here come the real fees.
Each email, Perez wrote, has to be opened and printed separately in a "fairly time-consuming" process. The cost for doing this: $3,955.23. The calculations: a staffer paid $15.39 an hour could review about 100 emails per hour. And Perez said that Mother Jones and McLeod would have to pay for this.
... And there's more. Once the legal review is finished, the emails deemed appropriate for release will have to be copied, and Palin's office will charge a duplication fee. In earlier correspondences, Palin's office indicated the fee could be over 25 cents a page. If about 25,000 emails (a page each) are cleared for release, the copying fee could top $6,000. |

| Quote: | ... Meanwhile the details of the drug charges against her baby daddy's mama have become known.
| Quote: | The mother of Bristol Palin's boyfriend sent text messages to two police informants discussing drug transactions before her arrest on felony drug charges, authorities say. An affidavit filed Monday says Sherry L. Johnston sent text messages referring to "coffee" as a code for the drug OxyContin. The 42-year-old Johnston was arrested last week after state troopers served a search warrant at her Wasilla home. She is out on bail.
Johnston is the mother of 18-year-old Levi Johnston. Gov. Sarah Palin announced in September that her 18-year-old daughter Bristol was pregnant and Johnston was the father. Authorities say the case began in the second week of September — a couple of weeks into Palin's campaign as Republican vice presidential candidate — when drug investigators intercepted a package containing 179 Oxycontin pills. That led to the arrest of the suspects, who agreed to be informants. According to the affidavit, Johnston sent a text message to one informant Oct. 1, writing: "Hey, my phones are tapped and reporters and god knows who else is always following me and the family so no privacy. I will let u no when I can go for cof." |

So did Bristol's baby arrive on Xmas day? And did three wise men on camels appear, bearing gifts.
Oh, right, they couldn't find even one wise man.
Of course.

| Quote: | UPDATE: It's a boy.
| Quote: | | Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, gave birth on Sunday to a healthy 7 lb., 4 oz., baby boy in Palmer, Alaska. "We think it's wonderful," said Colleen Jones, the sister of Bristol's grandmother Sally Heath, who confirmed the news. "The baby is fine and Bristol is doing well. Everyone is excited." The baby's name is Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, according to Jones. Baby Tripp takes his surname from his dad, Levi Johnston, an apprentice electrician and former Wasilla High School hockey player who has been dating Bristol for three years. Bristol Palin is currently residing in Wasilla and completing her high-school diploma through correspondence courses. Johnston is studying to become an electrician. He told the Associated Press in October that he and fiancée Bristol in 2009 and raise the child together. |
Tripp & Trig. They'll make a great rap duo. |

Alaska Cops: Palin Campaign Meddled In Johnston Arrest
| Quote: | | Geez, this is a shocker. The Alaska State Troopers' union says that "political meddling" delayed their arrest warrant against Sarah Palin's co-grandma, Sherry Oxycontin Johnston, until after the November election. Palin's office denies it all, of course. |

Even had they arrested her before the election, the Xtian right would have still rallied around Sarracuda - maybe even more so. After all Rush "Death Penalty for drug dealers, forced rehab for junkies" Limbaugh's own struggles with Oxycontin addiction haven't hurt his popularity with the dittoheads. Nor have the struggles of Jeb Bush's daughter Noelle with crack cocaine (the same drug Repugs love demonizing poor blacks for) hurt his popularity. The hypocrisy of Repugnicans is legendary.

I agree that she's not doing herself any favours.
Still, all the criticism of her family, especially from the left, which normally is left on sociall issues, is a bit much.
If she were't so religious, I'd kind of like Sarah Palin. Because even though she believes the earth is only 5000 years old, she's kind of a firecracker  |

Why? How is pointing out the hypocrisy of her beliefs regarding pre-marital sex, drug use, abstinence education etc. in contrast with her family's (and future in laws') conduct a "bit much"? I'm totally in favour of outing hypocrites, whether it's an anti-gay, anti-prostitution, anti-drug pastor doing meth with a male hooker or a family values bible thumping politician (from a party that routinely demonizes the underclass for having children out of wedlock and for drug use) like Sarah Palin.

Great thing about transcripts, which you apparently don't read, they show her to be semi-coherent, illogical, and half-stupid in addition to her rabble-rousing. |

My worry is the Repulsives will assign her a tutor who will, over the next four to eight years, set about helping her memorize some credible responses and then they'll run her for Prezzie... then I console myself with the thought she probably can't memorize credible responses...
Does anybody have a theory...even a half baked one...which would explain (even in part) where this unfounded brash confidence of hers comes from? |

Sarah Palin Sets Up PAC (For 2012?)
| Quote: | Sarah Palin is denying that she intends to run for president in 2012, but she's just set up a political action committee...you know, just in case. Via US News' Robert Schlesinger:
| Quote: | Asked if her new political action committee was an early signal that she is running for president in 2012, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin replied: "No, not at all, not at all, no. It's helpful to have a PAC so that when I'm invited to things even like to speak at the Lincoln Day dinner in Fairbanks, to have a PAC pay for that instead of have the state pay for that because that could be considered quasi-political." Uh-huh. She's being something less than completely honest here, but we can forgive her.
Basically, ignore her first sentence ("No, not at all, not at all, no.") Everything else she said is true, as I blogged here yesterday. That's the reason pols form leadership PACs (and that's what she has here): So they can travel around state and country campaigning for their party colleagues. We can also expect her to use some of the PAC money for political contributions (and as I said yesterday, the clearest sign that she's running for president would be PAC contributions to state legislators in places like Iowa and New Hampshire).
But politicians—especially rising star pols like Palin—don't raise money and make national appearances out of the goodness of their hearts; they don't do it because of unselfish dedication to party; and they don't do it because they want to raise their state's profile. She may not be running for president yet (though the FEC seems to think she is), but she's positioning herself to run in a couple of years. Like I said, we can forgive her for being less than honest here: No pol smart enough to run for president (admittedly not a high bar) would openly declare such interest this far out. |

According to her new logo it looks like part of her action plan is to build a large inland sea the shape of Alaska, smack dab in the middle of 'real America'
One flaw in her plan is that Mexicans will now be able to sail directly into the heartland and steal jobs.....and talk Mexican. |

You're prolly right, I'm sure she's got a book deal or made for TV movie in the works.
| Quote: | "I, like, totally want like Reese Witherspoon to play me, like in the movie. She is pretty and totally has kids and like knows how it feels to be up all night with, like, a crying baby. If she is like, into method acting, my mom could take her out and the could kill a moose and drink its blood when it like, still warm and stuff. Maybe my (future) mother in law could even, like totally hook her up with a 60 pounder of spiced rum and some Oxy. Sweet.
kthxby" |

I just had a scary vision of the future: it's the late 2030s and Noelle Bush, George Bush III, Jenna Bush and Bristol Palin are running for the GOP nomination. Sound off the wall? Maybe but then if anyone had guessed in the mid 70s that the coke snorting, draft dodging, frat boy son of then CIA head George HW Bush would be President one day, they woulda been laughed outta town (including prolly by George Sr. and Barbara). 
ETA: hmmm... does Joe da Plumber have any kids?

Bristol & Levi's Wedding Is Off
| Quote: | Gov. Palin is only going to use her shotgun to shoot animals from helicopters. Cuz not only is the wedding off, Bristol and Levi are broken up.
| Quote: | | In a new interview with Star Magazine, Levi's sister Mercede Johnston says Bristol actually broke up with Levi more than a month ago, is not attending school and rarely lets her baby daddy see their young son. Mercede also says Bristol even told him that she hates him and, when she learned she was pregnant, wished the baby wasn't his. Mercede told Star: "Bristol's just crazy. That's the nicest way I can put it. She and Levi actually broke up a while ago!" Apparently, Levi is also far from being a hands-on dad. Said Mercede: "Levi tries to visit Tripp every single day, but Bristol makes it nearly impossible for him. She tells him he can't take the baby to our house because she doesn't want him around 'white trash.' She treats him so badly!" |
Oh, for the halcyon days when Bristol and Levi were tarted up and trotted out onto the stage of the Republican National Convention as glittering Godly examples of Doing The Right Thing. |

I started heard a rumour that she left Levi's sorry ass for Joe The Plumber.
Please, though, keep this between you and your closest friends, neighbours, co-workers, acquaintances or blog.

Ooh, that's a good rumour.
I actually feel sorry for both young people. Neither of them has deserved all the media attention, the speculation on their relationship, the focus on abstinence/teenage sex, or the absurd amount of pressure that both have had put on them.
Who do I blame? Sarah Palin. In my books, her (mis)use of her daughter's personal life for political spin is an extreme example of bad parenting. All other politicians that I can think of are very careful to shield their kids from this sort of thing. |

Also consider that if the two families truly wanted to be left alone, Bristol Palin wouldn't be giving "exclusive" interviews to Faux News and Levi's sis Mercede (as one of the commentators at JMG asked, "WTF, she couldn't afford the last 's'"?) wouldn't be spilling all the dirty laundry to Star Magazine. I wouldn't be surprised to see the two of them showing up on some reality show in the future either.
All together now:
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

Now THAT is a great idea from a Springer point of view. He would be crazy not to do that show. Given the lack of ad dollars out there, we might just see this story yet. |

And yet this thread is focussed almost entirely on criticizing Sarah Palin. Including the criticism of her opportunism and hypocrisy in dragging her family through the mud.
I notice you cut off my quote right before it answered my own rhetorical question about blame. |
