Palin Spent $50000 In City Funds To Redecorate Mayors Office

**TheSenator** · 09-18-2008, 10:03 AM

bump for Republicans on this board.

**pocketkangaroo** · 09-18-2008, 10:07 AM

She was just reforming the office.

**Fletch XXX** · 09-18-2008, 10:08 AM

"I thought it was an outrageous expense, especially for someone who had run as a budget cutter," said Carney. "It was also illegal, because Sarah had not received the council's approval."

According to Carney, Palin's office makeover included flocked, red wallpaper. "It looked like a bordello."

She decorated her office, MORE THAN ONCE

"Palin paid for the office face-lift with money from a city highway fund"

"I braced her about it," he said. "I told her it was against the law to make such a large expenditure without the council taking a vote. She said, 'I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't.'""

this surprises people?? They're politicians!

**_Richard_** · 09-18-2008, 10:11 AM

um, holy shit

But after a tumultuous start, marked by controversial firings and lawsuits against the city, Palin felt compelled to hire a city manager named John Cramer to steady the ship.

for a city of "the 2007 estimate gives a population of 9,780.[2] However, Wasilla itself gives a figure (as of 2008) of only 7,025 residents"

haha.. VP?

**fatfoo** · 09-18-2008, 10:17 AM

And how much do you think is spent when a new president and his wife walk into the white house?

Hm, let's do the math:

US population ~ 300 million
Wassilla population ~ 7,000

Code:

      + 300.000.000,00
      /       7.000,00
      ----------------
      +      42.857,1428571428571
      *      50.000,00
      ----------------
      +2.142.857.142,85714286

That would be about 2,1 billion $, right?

Whats the bush doctrine???

**xmas13** · 09-18-2008, 11:11 AM

Don't care. She is hot, and you are a fag.

**bringer** · 09-18-2008, 11:14 AM

Although Carney says he no longer has documentation of the expenditures, in his recollection Palin paid for the office face-lift with money from a city highway fund that was used to plow snow, grade roads and fill potholes -- essential municipal services, particularly in weather-battered Alaska.

one person saying it happened without any evidence must make it true! its not like she made a fool of him in public which might cause him to lie...

Carney, who comes from a long-established homesteading family in the area and once ran the city's garbage collection business, has decided to speak out for the first time since Palin's vice-presidential nomination. He is viewed as a longtime Palin gadfly, ever since he sided with her opponent in the 1996 mayor's race. After Palin won, she froze out Carney, refusing to call on him at City Council meetings and deep-sixing his proposals. "That's the way Sarah is," Carney said. "She rewards friends and cuts everyone else off at the knees."

did you know president bush eats babies? ive seen it!!! BELIEVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw, she isnt qualified to be vp. i just find it funny how anything negative published about YOUR ENEMY = FACT. ever wonder why that is? why you believe and perpetuate random unsubstantiated bullshit because it conforms to your preconceived notions? bahhhhhhh much?

**bringer** · 09-18-2008, 11:30 AM

Ya blame it on any republicans, because you obviously forgot about Slick Willies expensive hair cut that shut down an airport. I can bet that cost thousands as well for a simple hair cut.

Think about your own party affiliation before you blame others imo.

**bringer** · 09-18-2008, 11:43 AM

Palin has love child with reptilian FROM OUTERSPACE!
nationalenquirer.com/news/palin_fucks_alien/

Surely all of the vendors that accepted the $50,000 could step forward. Perhaps we could see pictures of the before and after. I want to see the plasma TV lined waiting area.

Stories like these are exactly why the media sensationalizes every story. People eat it up. There are plenty of legitimate things and issues to bash Palin about, things that can actually be proven, like policies and voting records... and yet we still gather around the "it may be true drama gossip" like vultures.

Hey, if she seriously spent $50,000 of the city's money redecorating her office for absolutely no reason... let's get some proof and tear her apart. Until then, why don't we focus on the things that can actually be proven?

**tranza** · 09-18-2008, 11:55 AM

Is $50k really that much?

I spent over $10k when I redecorated my office.

Not really... a lot of people spend $50,000 adding a room to their house and fixing a bathroom and kitchen.

people eat it up because many around them present these stories as fact, minimizing/ignoring anything that contradicts the BS they want you to believe. why focus on legitimate issues when you can use your name to give validity to a specious story? why focus on things that CAN be proven when biased opinions are considered fact? people are stupid. people are lazy. this country will fail sooner or later and the "us vs them" mentality is only speeding up our downfall. sadly, ignoring facts or the lack there of seems to be the standard operating procedure in the US and we all know how well that worked for Bush.

I recall the Clintons took a lot of stuff with them when they left including silverware.
I really should have gone into politics instead of porn, that is where the real fucking takes place.

Which reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask:

somehow I doubt youll like her style LOL

she spent thousands on just the crab and the bear

BUAHAHA

**Drake** · 09-18-2008, 04:08 PM

It doesn't matter anymore. Her credentials as a small-town maverick has lost all credibility. She may be an outsider geographically-speaking, but she carries the same type of baggage and history as those in Washington, like Obama and McCain. Politics is dirty wherever you come from, apparently.

I wish we would get discussions on things like whose tax plan is going to be better for the economy. For the foreseeable future it seems America is going to be enmeshed in foreign conflicts like Iraq/Afghan and/or new ones like Russia/Pakistan/Iran which is costly.

This is an independent non-partisan analysis of their tax plans to date:
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publi....cfm?ID=411750

Obviously big business and the wealthy generally will favor McCain's plan. I'm curious if in the real world which plan will work best for everybody. Each candidate is surrounded by top economic advisers who have helped to craft their economic plans. Why are the plans so different. Is it merely a battle between two schools of thought? Have both philosophies been clearly used in the past with one a clear winner or one a clear failure? If the latter, why would trained economists advise to use it again?

**dav3** · 09-18-2008, 04:10 PM

umm... if that's her office, she needs to seriously be removed from access to tax money.

**Fletch XXX** · 09-18-2008, 04:15 PM

that was her Mayor office, she is governor now, new office.

But yes, thats the one she spent 50k on.

**Fletch XXX** · 09-18-2008, 04:19 PM

I am sorry, actually that is her CURRENT Governor office, her Mayor office is not pictured much online... the pic is from 2007

**Fletch XXX** · 09-18-2008, 04:20 PM

here is the Mayor Office (Bordello-like)

is that a bed to the right????

LOLOL

I've grown tired of this too. I'm not voting this time around so I could care less. But the lies that get posted.

She dropped $50k on a new office for the mayor? And you don't think every other mayor does that? Every governor?

How much do you think the new Preisident of the US is going to spend on redoing the personal living quarters in the White House?

**Fletch XXX** · 09-18-2008, 04:23 PM

close up of print

yes those are cowboys with guns and an Oil Rig

LOL

and she wants us to believe she is for alternative fuels? BUAHAHA

**dav3** · 09-18-2008, 04:26 PM

Do her offices actually have a desk to do some work at?

I've seen this picture on multiple newspaper websites before. It was labeled as a bedroom in the Alaska Governors mansion.
