Are Alaskans Being Shortchanged?
by Buck • Saturday, January 31st, 2009 - 8:50 amWith no acting Governor in sight, you betcha they’re being shortchanged! Alaskans elected Sarah Palin to office on good faith (we assume so much, anyways), and deserve better than someone who spends her time forming political action committees, plotting out another run for the big prize, while ignoring the duties in which she was elected.
If she can crap all over Alaska as Governor, imagine what kind of president she would make. But, as we’ve seen in the past, crap can be wrapped in a blanket of pro-life, pro-God, pro-gun & pro-hate… and still manage to be elected to the highest office.
Alaska lawmakers question Sarah Palin’s focus
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Driving home at night from her Capitol office, the leader of Alaska’s House Democrats often passes the governor’s white-columned mansion and wonders why more lights aren’t on.
Rep. Beth Kerttula assumes Gov. Sarah Palin is out of town, though Palin’s staffers say so far their boss has been there for most of the legislative session that began Jan. 20.
It’s a small matter, but it’s part of the buzz around the Capitol among lawmakers who are seeing less of their governor than in years past and wondering what it means in the wake of a Republican vice presidential run that brought Palin global fame and notoriety.
They’re accustomed to spotting her striding past, using two BlackBerries, stopping to chat in the hallway or inviting reporters into her office while she prepares for a speech.

I hear she's been catching up on her reading at Bill Kristol's Republican Winds of Change Prep School of Bloviating Tomfoolery. It should be noted that after initially being called a blank page by her neocon briefers/handlers during the recent presidential campaign she is working hard to get beyond the single campaign entry (you betcha, wink, smile), on that blank page and is now close to being able to utter, sans teleprompter or prepared text, a whole paragraph of sentences that actually make sense. Professor/Mentor Kristol is extremely encouraged by his protege's progress and predicts she will easily be able to fill the page by the 2012 campaign. No word on the eventual content of said full page because, well, those winds of change are blowing.
