We guess Levi won't be visiting Tripp all too soon

Couldn't resist this report in the Palin's favorite periodical:

'Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the 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,' says the statement from the Palin family rep. Bristol's focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence, the statement continues. '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.' The statement ends, saying, 'Bristol realizes now that she made a mistake in her relationship and is the one taking responsibility for their actions.'

Just more Hillbilly nails in Sarah Palin's 2012 coffin, with Levi Johnston, ex-fiancee of now teen mom Bristol Palin, admitting to Tyra Banks in an interview that

the couple was not always practicing safe sex and says they shared a bedroom on occasion.

Adding that he believes Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin knew he and Bristol were having sex when they lived under her roof.

The shared bedroom probably should have been a bit of a clue we'd hope, but who knows what goes on up there in chilly Wasilla!

Johnston's druggy Mother, Sherry, and sister Mercede, joined him on The Tyra Banks Show, talking about the gag order imposed on them during Palin's vice presidential campaign, which, come to think of it, wasn't all that bad of an idea we'd guess. Preventing Sherry Johnston from apparently illegally selling Oxycontin drugs during the same period appeared to slip under the Secret Service and campaign radar.

Bristol Palin could have been named "30 Rock"

Gov. Palin's continued Esquire interview outlined another compelling "whah?" moment. Presumably fixed on daughter Bristol's unfortunate pregnancy, Palin related that there were two meanings in Bristol's name:

I worked at the Bristol Inn, and Todd grew up in Bristol Bay. But also, Bristol, Connecticut, is the home of ESPN. And when I was in high school, my desire was to be a sportscaster. ESPN was just kicking off, just getting off the ground, and I thought that's what I was going to do in life, is be one of the first woman sportscasters ... So instead, I had a daughter and named her Bristol.

A slightly curious expose, but wasn't that really THREE derivations?

There were also further pronouncements, unfortunately not in the endearing category, on the Troopergate subpeona controversies. Last July, Alaskan lawmakers unanimously voted to investigate the abuse of power allegations against Governor Sarah Palin. In August everything changed when Sarah Palin was picked to be John McCain's running mate and formerly cooperative witnesses, including First Lady, Todd, now had to be subpoenaed. They ignored their subpoenas possibly under the advice of Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg.

Today a Senate Resolution was passed which finds the witnesses who ignored their subpoenas GUILTY OF CONTEMPT of the Alaska State Senate. This resolution did not address the actions of Talis Colberg. It called for no penalties to the 7 witnesses because they were being guided by the Attorney General and they did cooperate as soon as their lawsuit was thrown out of court, submitting written statements.

Hardly clearing the air, but Todd Palin will have the frigid alaskan wind in his hair this weekend while he participates in the 2009 Iron Dog Snowmachine Race. Todd will drive his climate-bashing machine to Nome and Fairbanks, starting at his Wasilla doorstep.

Last year Todd crashed. Some people don't learn.

SarahPAC: Ten Gallon Hat, No Cattle

Looks like Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is starting to withdraw some of the sarahpac.com funds, duped from starry-eyed GOPers, to endorse a candidate already.

The Dallas Morning News reports that Palin has endorsed Rick Perry (R-Tx.) in the Republican primary for governor of Texas.

A letter touting Perry went to members of the Texas Federation of Republican Women, with Palin espousing:

He walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks by his guns – and you know how I feel about guns,

Yes, yes we all do.

Update 2/4: Taking bytes out of President Obama's technology bandwidth, SarahPAC generated a "Dear Supporter" email - Subject: Thank You For Joining SarahPAC,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for joining SarahPAC. What a week it has been! Thanks to supporters like you we have had a fabulous start.

Yeah, Ok. Any coherent message?

As a nation, we face serious challenges ahead. Our country is far too dependent on foreign sources of energy. Greed and corruption have broken the public's faith in our economic system.

Pretty original. Must be the "true conservative" core value now the GOP is out of sorts, but Palin also includes signed-up eMailers plaudits, generally along the line

there are many of us praying for you daily!

Back to that "Gods work" stuff.

The DailyBeast points out the "I'm just like you" sign off sentiment:

With an Alaskan heart,

Well, that's "just like you" if you were schmoozing this last weekend with ex-Nixon jew baiter sponsors in Washington D.C.

Change? Gov. Palin lied to us

So, Saturday night, Sarah Palin was whisked into the governors-and-Cabinet-members-only section of the capital's most exclusive party: the Alfalfa Club dinner.

Palin's invitation to the Alfalfa Club was "a coup," said Letitia Baldrige, who served as the White House social secretary and chief of staff to Jacqueline Kennedy.

Well, maybe not quite. Others lined up last night to touch the garment of President Obama included U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.

(cough cough)

Wearing an elegant black satin evening gown and a matching wrap, hair loose to her shoulders, Palin was about as far away as anyone can get from field-dressing a moose.

If roasting by some of the most powerful people in America is a sign you've made it, then Palin clearly arrived at this gathering, and probably just in time to fund her SarahPac.com.

The outgoing president of the Alfalfa Club, Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Ct.), teased Palin in a way allowed by being a fellow veteran of the vice presidential campaign:

I was seriously being considered to be McCain's pick for vice president, but then John called me, as he always does, he got right to the point. He said, 'Joe, I can't do it. I need more than just a pretty face.'

I was so close. As close as Alaska is to Russia. You could almost say that from my doorstep I could see the vice president's mansion,

Politico.com, who appeared to have its own coup (perhaps due to the pre-dinner reception by Allbritton Communications Co., Politico's parent), reported further remarks related to Gov. Palin.

President Barack Obama:

I never expected you to be PALLING AROUND with THIS crowd. I want to congratulate you on your Golden Globe for '30 Rock.'

Touche.

It seems Palin even got snubbed at the envisaged 'election' of a new club President. That dubious honor went to Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.)

Oh well, good humored ribbing is part and parcel of developing her D.C. power base. Unfortunately Gov. Palin seems to have done one of her notable parasitic shifts and managed to burn a different bridge-to-nowhere. ABC News reported that House Republicans had extended an invitation to Palin to speak to more than 130 Republican members of Congress gathered this same weekend in Hot Springs, Va. Organizers told ABC News that Palin declined, giving a reason that she could not make it to the retreat because pressing state business made it impossible for her to leave Alaska this weekend.

Said a Republican at the retreat,

She lied to us,

Asked about Palin's no-show, House Republican leader John Boehner shrugged,

Whatever,

Gov. Palin's office did not specifically answer any reported criticisms, but earlier Palin had largely let the 'cat out of the bag' with

How often will I get an opportunity to have dinner with the President?

Not often, we hope.

Little Rascal Sarah Palin goes to Washington DC

The annual Alfalfa Club dinner in D.C., which Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin notoriously will attend tonight, guests pick a "mock candidate" for the presidency and that person then gives an acceptance speech. Perhaps the Palin Camp thinks it will get the chance to practice for 2012.

The event is the most sought-after ticket of the season because it gives members an audience with a collection of super power brokers including Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, Vernon Jordan, members of the Cabinet and Supreme Court, major politicians past and present, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Sounds just like the elite community that Sarah Palin wants to appeal to, although the attendees will not be as quite accepting as the RNC convention in Minneapolis last year. In fact it would be better advised if the Alaskan Governor simply eats what is served up, including liberal roasting, keep to her pretty self, and let others do the promotion.

Speaking of which, Gov. Palin's hiring of consultant Becki Donatelli, of Campaign Solutions (John McCains ol' doohickey) to handle her new political action committee is evidence that Palin understands she must overhaul her image in Washington if she wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate.

That's about a good enough long shot as the Arizona Cardinals kicking the Steelers a** in Superbowl XLIII.

Change? Sarah Palin's Naughty Monkey Double-Dare

The immediate interest in the sarahpac.com brought another "Palin for President" panic.

Various posters noticed that the Federal Election Commission's website stated that Gov. Sarah Palin had declared herself a presidential candidate for 2012. That's a mistake, according to the FEC, and was apparently recorded when Palin formed her PAC on Monday. In response to inquiry this listing is unrelated to SarahPAC but from a filing by 2012 Draft Sarah Committee.

I'm sure THAT clears things up. Others simply comment that events only confirm Palin's focus in a 2012 campaign.

Palin's further politicking, this weekend, includes the surreptitiously announced exclusive "Alfalfa Club" dinner which supposedly will offer Gov. Palin an opportunity of an audience with President Obama. So she says.

The president is scheduled to address the black-tie crowd at the Capital Hilton, and although spokesman Bill McAllister said that Palin would be speaking at the dinner an Alfalfa Club member, however, said that no speech by the Alaska governor was planned. I'm sure she won't be seated at the same table. The only Alaskan in the Alfalfa Club is former Sen. Ted Steven, so she should be in relevant company.

Other fun at this pseudo Skull&Bones clique is nomination of a spoof candidate for president. Nominations over the years have included Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and John McCain. In 2003, the club named Stevens as its pretend candidate for president. Yikes! Can we see a pattern?

It will be intriguing whether fashion bloggers monitor her evening wear since on further news of the infamous "campaign clothes" remaining stuffed in trash bags at RNC headquarters, comes an interesting "only on eBay" link.

A pair of shoes allegedly worn by Gov. Sarah Palin during her campaign for vice president netted $2,025 in an online auction. The pair of red, Naughty Monkey Double-Dare pumps were sold on eBay ending at midnight Tuesday. Other current Naughty Monkey Double-Dare pumps auctions are offered at $75. Such is celebrity, and according to the identification of the seller, "family":

Someone calling herself Palin's niece was selling the red shoes she said the governor gave to her, according to the auction site. She claims the shoes were purchased, not by the Republican National Committee, but by the governor herself at a Juneau store.

Juneau! Must be a lie! Governor Palin is never in Juneau!
