Talibunny Facing Charges for Boosting Lumber & Labor for Home From Wasilla Hockey Rink She Championed As Mayor?
Long Face: Talibunny's 'Servant's Heart' Will Need to be Backed Up by an Eager Tongue Where She Is Going! Hahahahahahaha! Ha! Ha! Hahahahahaha!
GOP circus freak and failed vice-presidential candidate Sarah ‘Talibunny’ Palin shit her knickers this week and abandoned her governorship of Alaska after apparently being informed that she is facing indictment for conspiring with an Alaska contractor to inflate the price of a Wasilla sports complex she championed there as mayor in trade for the supplies and building labor on her nearby home, reports say.
The a11news.com summarized today:
The embezzlement scandal involves the massive, $12.5 million sports complex that Sarah Palin pushed through during her last term as Mayor in Wasilla. Federal investigators believe the price of the sports complex was inflated to provide free building materials and labor for the Palin home being constructed nearby.
Stupid fucking twit Talibunny apparently thought she could keep it quiet that she diverted goods and services for private development a secret in a polity as small as Alaska. The contractor, Spenard Building Supplies (SBS), is one of the biggest in the state and, in truth, is probably hard not to do business with in a contract of this size. All the more reason to use caution in using them to boost public resources. This is amateur night corruption at its most tedious and pathetic.
Max Blumenthal, meanwhile, is reporting on the Daily Beast that, “observers in Alaska are fixated on rumors that federal investigators have been seizing paperwork from SBS in recent months, searching for evidence that Palin and her husband Todd steered lucrative contracts to the well-connected company in exchange for gifts like the construction of their home on pristine Lake Lucille in 2002.”
Yes, indeed, it appears that the Talibunny and her trained mute, Todd, might have gotten the interview this week and been told they are targets of a federal investigation they know is right on the fucking money. Oh, boo-hoo, oh, fuck, it’s not fair, not fucking fair! Jesus took away the presidency from Talibuny and now when she goes to prison immense, unwashed killer bull dykes are going to be sitting on Talibunny’s face and messing up her hair.
Blumenthal explains why it was so stupid for SBS and the Palins to collude, given that their relationship was so well known, and so heavily publicized:
SBS has close ties to the Palins. The company has not only sponsored Todd Palin’s snowmobile team, according to the Village Voice’s Wayne Barrett, it hired Sarah Palin to do a statewide television commercial in 2004.
Though Todd Palin told Fox News he built his Lake Lucille home with the help of a few “buddies,” according to Barrett’s report, public records revealed that SBS supplied the materials for the house. While serving as mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin blocked an initiative that would have required the public filing of building permits—thus momentarily preventing the revelation of such suspicious information.
Just months before Palin left city hall to campaign for governor, she awarded a contract to SBS to help build the $13 million Wasilla Sports Complex. The most expensive building project in Wasilla history, the complex cost the city an additional $1.3 million in legal fees and threw it into severe long-term debt. For SBS, however, the bloated and bungled project was a cash cow.
Blumenthal credits the work of the Village Voice in his reportage, as Wayne Barrett broke much of the story of SBS and the Palins relationship and the facts surrounding the nearly simultaneous development of the Wasilla Sports Complex and the Palins majestic home on nearby Lake Lucille, salient aspects to consider now that the FBI is reportedly zeroing in on the fact that similar building materials were required for both projects. Barrett reported in October last year:
As mayor, Sarah Palin blocked an effort to require the filing of building permits in the wide-open city, and there is no public record of who the “buddies” were. The house was built very near the complex, on a site whose city purchase led to years of unsuccessful litigation and, now, $1.3 million in additional costs, with a law firm that’s also donated to Palin collecting costly fees from the city.
Talibunny is going to do time. The whole planet will be watching this case and the US attorney general is going to get this one right and omit the silly shennanigans that doomed the Senator Ted Stevens case last year. Her gasping, freaked out appearance today at her resignation speech was the sign of a woman completely out of her mind with rank terror at the prospect of spending decades behind bars licking the crusty, unwashed pussies of criminally insane serial killers.
Talibunny will die of mysterious infectious diseases in prison, her name forever a punch line, and her children will curse their own birthdays.
Ha.
Haha.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Intriguing comment from the first link:
I’m told (not a construction expert) that the windows in the Palin Palace are identical to those in the Sports Complex. They are very big, expensive, and difficult to install, typically requiring a crane to hoist them to the second floor, and specialized training and tools to install.
Does that sound like something Todd and a few buddies could bust out over a few weekends with a few sixpacks?
Take that as the unsourced comment it is, but from everything else we know about Talibunny’s Wasilla Reign of Terror, it fits in.
On the other hand, imagine this shit coming down while she was veep. Agnew would no longer be lonely in the history books.
@nojo: It should have been on the front page of the newspapers every day during the general election. Barrett had everything that will be in the indictment but the similarity in building materials angle. This is the kind of small-time crap that makes FBI agents contemptuous. A really well developed fraud is nearly invisible. This one was naked and thrusting its hips at us on an eight lane highway, grasping its crotch and screaming for attention.
“Talibunny is going to do time.”
I am toddling off to bed with a big smile tonight.
I can’t wait to hear the wails of “Obamaspiracy political persecution” from the wingnut choir and her diehard base, which I expect will get louder and shriekier as the evidence becomes increasingly unavoidable and undeniable.
Today, Jeebus loves us.
@Jebediah: If Jeebus is in a good mood, it’ll be a televised trial. And the world can watch as lightning strikes her the moment she puts her hand on the Bible.
Coincidence that Colin Powell was on TV today trying to look like the fuckin’ Man, right?
Um, I just saw the entire video on HuffPo.
WTF. She’s lost it.
I cannot WAIT to see what happens next.
Nice find, FlyingChainSaw.
What a depressingly pathetic mess. Honestly, I would have preferred for Caribou Barbie to be just a pretty, incompetent, fundamentalist dimwit. But I guess, given the way she abused the privileges of her office to launch a vendetta against her brother-in-law, this should really come as no surprise. I’m reminded of the scene in “Silverado” where the corrupt Sheriff pulls back his jacket to reveal the Sheriff’s badge underneath and announces to his ex-outlaw buddy: “Welcome to heaven!”
When Palin is charged, I fully expect her right-wing defenders to point to the acquittal of Sen. Ted Stevens in her defense. Let us not forget, though, that the charges against Stevens were dropped (by the Obama Justice Department) not because he has innocent of the crime, but due to an almost criminal degree of prosecutorial misconduct by the Bush Justice Department lawyers who prepared the case against him.
People – I think we might be missing the big story here which is –
Sport is evil.
It leads to corruption, fraud, moral degeneration and the consumption of cheeseburgers. How can you spend $13 m for oafs on ice? How is that possible?
I’m harboring a wild fantasy (I know, shock, right?) that Todd goes down too. In fact, I think it’s Todd who is chief suspect. What does Evita know about construction? Or anything else?
BTW. My favorite moment from the WTF resignation was her condemnation of some in the media (everyone try not to look at David Letterman) being mean about Trigg. This said with a perfectly straight face as she paraded her children in front of the cameras for umptillionth time.
And what a blistering rebuke to John McCain for imperiling us all by proposing this moral midget to be vice president. If possible his actions look even more desperate. And of course one thinks of Hilary and the years and years of abuse she’s taken from the press – Whitewater, Lewinski, etc – and yet she’s still in the game. The difference is that she doesn’t play Sport. Or look at it. And she doesn’t let Bill play either. Apart from the women’s beach volleyball.
On this 4th of July let us think of the children and resolve to save them from Sport. I’m not saying that every boy should be in ballet class – some might prefer modern or tap – but it sure didn’t hurt Rahm.
And now, yes, I will try to get some work done.
@redmanlaw: That piece of shit. Had a chance to tell the truth at a moment that would have mattered and decided to take the money and lie.
What’s that sound?
Why it’s the sound of the other shoe hitting the ground.
Payback’s a bitch , er, motherfucker , um, absolutely nasty…
@Jebediah: I think, if this scandal is true, that she was already setting up the Obamaspiracy thing in her speech. There were paranoid references to the current political atmosphere all over it. Not that you could understand what she was saying – you’d have to read the transcript to pick them out. But she definitely thinks the left is out to get her. Doesn’t she understand that the left WANTS her to run?
Sweet baby jeebus, what is she wearing in that photo?
@Jamie Sommers: Spiderman outfit. In training to bust out of club fed. I am hoping they put her in a supermax with deadly, toothless, crystal meth addicted dyke serial killers.
@nojo:
Yes! Do you think her most resolute winks and “youbetcha’s” will disarm a hostile cross-examination as effectively as they did us?
@RomeGirl:
I think she has no idea that she is our favorite potential candidate. I think she honestly believes we fear her.
I just don’t see how I can now get both of my two wishes – her on trial and her running for Prezdent.
@Jebediah: That’s what I would love to see: Either she pulls her shtick on the stand, or she has to speak the truth, which no living being has ever heard from her.
And yes, the wingnuts have some bizarre idea that we fear her, where Palin 2012 would provide years of endless amusement. Palin quitting now would crush all my hopes.
@Jamie Sommers: Lime green quilt?? My question exactly, what the fuck was she wearing, as I was trying to catch up with a weekend’s worth of Stinque? I’m so glad that we’re focusing on what’s important.
@FlyingChainSaw: Mr. SFL has shopped at this hardware store in Wasilla, several times. He totally recognized the name of it as where he picked up supplies before going in to the wilds of Alaska.
If you really want to have some fun; albeit rather sadistic, visit this wackjob website. You’ll want to wash yourself after though!

@FlyingChainSaw: She-Hulk suit. You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.
What do you do when you find a spare window in Wasilla? Build a house around it.
– heard on the Stephanie Miller show
That isn’t all who is quoted there. Read some of the posts, especially the one’s about Sarah Iquitarod. I can’t post there (they block my IP Address because I am sane, rational and deal with facts) but anyone here is welcome to join in on their fun. If you do, I guarantee that you will instantly be attacked.
@redmanlaw: a spare window in Wasilla?
Hehehehehehe. It’s twoo! It’s twoo!
@alex delarge: Wait, that’s serious? I thought it was some sort of ironic blog, maybe because they have halfway decent spelling in the posts.
They might be able to spell but it’s the ideas they are spelling about that is infuriating to me. Those folks are the base of what used to be the Republican Party. Before they were taken over a la Invasion of the Body Snatchers by xeonophobes, Christianists and illiterate authoritarians. The moderators of that blog would like nothing more than to see the U.S. turn into a christian police state. Hence their zealous defense of Sarah I destroyed the village in order to save it Palin.
