While Sarah Palin has been off courting the media and not governing Alaska, it seems the media maven unwittingly got caught up in a mortgage fraud situation in Arizona.

Palin admitted “she was part of a company” involved in the purchase of a five bedroom home in Scottsdale. But the chain of sale of the home may have been tainted by improper foreclosure procedures and the use of robo-signers, and it seems who actually owns the home purchased by the company- Safari Investments LLC- could be in dispute:

…records on the property compiled by the fraud examiner shows that at least two fraudulent signatures were involved in re-financing.

Fraudulent signatures were also observed in foreclosure transactions on the property in the years before Palin’s company purchased it.

This finding may now raise questions about the legality of the house sale, reports The Huff Post.

Flak for Palin have not responded to requests for comment on the mortgage fraud issue.

Bristol Palin, daughter of failed GOP VP candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, for a time America’s most famous pregnant teen has given an interview about her pregnancy and life in the spotlight.

The interview aired Monday on Fox News Channel’s “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” and dare I say it, Bristol Palin actually comes across as more reasonable than her mother.

The best line from the interview was Bristol saying that the abstinence preached by her mother was “not realistic” because teen sex is “more and more accepted.”

On rumors that Sarah Palin forced her to have her baby, she also took full responsibility: “It doesn’t matter what my mom’s views are on it. It was my decision, and I wish people would realize that, too.”

While we doubt Bristol is about to become a spokesperson against the abstinence movement any time soon (the full quote “Everyone should be abstinent, but it’s just not realistic at all”) it’s refreshing to see that even in such a conservative household that Bristol can see reality, and not just Russia from her back window.

Here’s the Bristol Palin Fox News interview:

Failed GOP VP candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has launched a political action committee to help support candidates for federal and state office.

SarahPAC will support “fresh ideas and candidates who share our vision for reform and innovation.” SarahPAC welcomes supporters of any political persuasion and will contribute to candidates of any party who share her ideas and goals, but obviously it will help if you’re a Republican, or Alaska Independence Party member.

A PAC (political action committee) is a legal structure that allows for raising of funds, and are regularly used by politicians seeking higher office, such as President of the United States. The chances of Palin running for the GOP Presidential nod in 2012 just became far more likely.

Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Governor and failed GOP VP Candidate has given birth.

Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston was born on Sunday, weighing 7 pounds, 4 ounces (3.3kg).

Relative Colleen Jones told People Magazine that the baby is fine and Bristol is “doing well.”

Bristol Palin was, at least for a short time America’s most famous pregnant teen, after her mother was forced to disclose the pregnany after accepting the Republican Vice Presidential slot. Her relationship with the child’s father, and their family has continued to remain gossip fodder, particularly after the child’s grandmother was arrested on drugs charges.

Time magazine has named US President Elect Barack Obama the Person of the Year in 2008.

Other finalists were U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, failed VP candidate Sarah Palin (seriously) and Chinese director Zhang Yimou.

According to Time: “In one of the craziest elections in American history, he overcame a lack of experience, a funny name, two candidates who are political institutions and the racial divide to become the 44th president of the United States.”

Last years winner was Vladimir Putin, and 2006′s winner simply “You.” Other notable previous winners include Queen Elizabeth II and Adolf Hitler.

Shame they didn’t pick Palin, that would have been a whole lot more fun

The Wasilla Bible Church, the Alaskan church made famous as being the religious outpost for failed VP candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has caught fire.

The “suspicious” fire devastated the church Friday night, and officials are considering arson among possibilities. A ladies craft group was in the building when the fire broke out, although no one was hurt.

Palin released a statement after the fire and offered an apology to the assistant pastor “if the incident is in any way connected to the undeserved negative attention the church has received since she became a vice presidential candidate.”

Burn baby, burn? Estimated damage is in the vicinity of $1 million.

She’s back!!! Alaska Governor and failed Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin appeared on local television this week to pardon a turkey from slaughter, a tradition lifted from the White House. But that’s where things got interesting.

After pardoning a turkey, Palin did an interview to camera, and in the background a Triple-D Farm and Hatchery worker slaughtered a turkey. Nothing fazes Sarah Palin however: advised about what was going on behind her, she told the reporter “no worries” and the interview continued. Scenes include the worker behind Palin and clearly in shot slicing a turkey’s neck, bleeding it out and twisting its head off.

MSNBC has a mostly safe for viewing copy of the video with the gory bits blurred out, but with enough showing so you get the full idea without felling ill.

A new website has been launched which looks at the media’s role in the election of Obama. Called howobamagotelected.com the site alleges that Obma got elected because the news media failed to do their job.  Malpractice was the term they used, and it Malpractice by the Media; How Obama Got Elected is the name of the documentary that the people behind the site are putting out.  I guess these guys are right wing Michael Moores.

The video is fascinating.  Check it out.

The site also commissioned a telephone survey which verifies the results of the video interviews. Rightly or wrongly, the American people have made their judgement on Palin and the Republicans and its all pervasive.  I guess they can blame Tine Fey and SNL. 

 

Zogby Poll

512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points 

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates

Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)

81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)

88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)

56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).

And yet…..

Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her “house,” even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.

 

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we “gave” one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

The gift that keeps on giving, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin doesn’t like them nasty bloggers, you know the ones, the ones that gossip in their pijamas!

PALIN: Early on, there are a tremendous number of examples we can give about my record and things that could have, should have so easily been corrected if the media would take it one step further and investigate it a little bit and not just gone on some blogger — probably sitting there in their parent’s basement wearing their pajamas blogging some kind of gossip or a lie.

Yeah, because Hot Air and Michelle Malkin have been really hard on Palin. MSNBC’s rising star Rachel Maddow hits back with style, and even if you don’t like her politics, if you’re a blogger you’ve got to love her for this (embed below)

Failed US Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin has responded to rumors that she will run for President in 2012 by saying God will “show her the way.”

In an exclusive interview with Fox News this evening, Palin said of a run in 2012: “I can’t predict what’s going to happen a day from now, much less four years from now”

“You know, I have — faith is a very big part of my life. And putting my life in my creator’s hands — this is what I always do,” Palin said.

“I’m like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I’m like, don’t let me miss the open door. Show me where the open door is,” she added.

“Even if it’s cracked up a little bit, maybe I’ll plow right on through that and maybe prematurely plow through it, but don’t let me miss an open door.”

“And if there is an open door in ’12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I’ll plow through that door.”

Failed VP candidate has been offered $2 million to appear in an adult film.

The offer comes from Florida-based porn director Cezar Capone who calls himself “the king of all MILF films.” Capone said in a letter on his site that the film would be distributed internationally, shot in high definition, and feature a “beautiful mother recognized by all of America … as the most desirable woman over 40.”

According to Canada.com, Palin’s husband Todd has been offered a co-starring role in the production, for which Capone would be “prepared to kick in an extra $100,000,” and a new Arctic Cat snowmobile.

Palin has yet to respond to the offer.

Republicans supporting failed VP Candidate Sarah Palin aren’t very happy at the moment about the continued media disclosure of stories such as Palin thinking that Africa is a country, and they want to do something about it.

Their target: Fox News.

A thread with strong support on right wing political site Free Republic has called for a boycott of Fox News for airing the Palin allegations

I propose that we punish the FOX Network for its hatchet job on Sarah Palin.

For one week beginning at 3:00 PM today no one tunes them in. We will demonstrate the power of conservatives when their ratings plummet dramatically.

Will you join me?

Maybe Fox News isn’t as fair and balanced as conservatives would have you believe

According to the following report from Fox News, Palin didn’t know which countries are in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), but better still, didn’t know Africa was a continent and thought it was a country!

Even Republicans would have to start to agree now: thank god she’s no where near the red button.

We thought we’d be clear of Sarah Palin stories now the election is over, but it would seem the failed VP candidate keeps opening her mouth in front of cameras.

The latest bizarre tirade from Sarah Palin is directed at the media, who Palin sort of blames in this clip for her election loss. According to Palin, the media isn’t fair and balanced, and that she’s interested in teaching them how to be. The comments follow on from her pre-election rant suggesting that the media was abusing their first amendment rights.

Even as the election results are starting to come through, the candidate that keeps on giving keeps on giving.

At a rally this week, Sarah Palin was asked by an African American attendee what she could do to improve upon the minority mix at her rallies. Palin’s response: she knows what racism is like, because Todd is native Alaskan and “We live it.”

The Masked Avengers, a Montreal radio show known for their prank calls have managed to trap VP Candidate Sarah Palin by pretending to be French leader Nicolas Sarkozy.

Full recording below: quotes from Sarah Palin include “We have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you” and “We should go hunting together….We can have a lot of fun together while we’re getting work done. We could kill two birds with one stone.”

Research from Secure Computing shows spammers are using Barack Obama’s name seven times more than John McCain’s in the subject lines of their junk mail. The data analyzed spam sent during the month of September. It found a spike in McCain mail around the time of the Republican convention — which balanced the race out a bit — but Obama has maintained his spam lead, the firm says.

Our favorite quoted spam subject lines from the study:

• Jesus Endorses Obama; Four Horsemen Opt for McCain
• Obama Ahead Amongst Voters With Similarly Weird Names

When it comes to the VP candidates, not surprisingly, Sarah Palin trumps Joe Biden in the spam-off — but not by as large of a margin as you might think. The ratio falls out to five Palin e-mails for every four Biden. In an interesting contrast, during that month, the ratio of news stories about Palin to Biden came out to 7:1. Spammers, seemingly, were not swayed.
