Exclusive: Palin Resignation 'damage Control' For Coming 'iceberg Scandal' - Embezzlement?
News Type: Event — Seeded on Fri Jul 3, 2009 7:02 PM EDT
Article Source: bradblog.comadvertisement
Palin is "resigning as part of damage control" due to a scandal that is "not of a family nature." ...
"The governor would not be able to continue her job when it comes out," she told me on the phone just now, before adding: "Why would Mark Sanford not resign, but Sarah Palin did? Her family didn't even know about the resignation until they were standing with her by the lake" when she made her announcement.
Yes. It seems another shoe, apparently a big one, will indeed be dropping, likely within the next week or so. Perhaps earlier now that everyone will be poking around up there.
FURTHER UPDATE: Okay, I've now been able to get independent information from multiple sources that all of this precedes what are said to be possible federal indictments against Palin, concerning an embezzlement scandal related to the building of Palin's house and the Wasilla Sports Complex built during her tenure as Mayor. Both structures, it is said, feature the "same windows, same wood, same products." Federal investigators have been looking into this for some time, and indictments could be imminent, according to the Alaska sources.
The BRAD BLOG has not been able to receive confirm from any federal sources on this. Our information comes from local Alaskans who follow Palin, and who have been keeping an eye on this for some time, while keeping it quiet at the request of federal investigators.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

"Why would Mark Sanford not resign, but Sarah Palin did? Her family didn't even know about the resignation until they were standing with her by the lake" when she made her announcement."
Palin said she asked her family and 4 said yeah and 1 said hell yeah. So, who's lying here?
At any rate, good riddance, Barbie, Alaska will be fine without you.

She is no expert in stealth, guerilla warfare........if this was a surprise attack to circumvent a maelstrom over any illegal wrongdoing.......
She failed.

I seeded this link earlier today. I wouldn't be surprised if this is why she resigned.

Whatever the reason Palin had to resign, I'm sure the right wing media will blame Obama claiming he somehow orchestrated her demise as payback for her campaign against him.

No doubt. Irrational blaming is what they do best.

Seems like that's a fairly common trait on Newsvine for both sides.

I would love to see some real evidence on this, I need it for my regularly scheduled Forum Wars against the Palin worshipers.
Seriously though, so far I don't see anything except bloggers making wild accusations with no evidence to back it up.

Sufficient wild accusations might render her $11 million book unsalable. Murdock probably offered to buy each of her kids their own float plane if she'd just quit her $125,000 a year job - to focus on changing government from the outside as it were.
This is not to say she isn’t planning on using her upcoming book, and lucrative speaking engagements, to launch a pyrrhic 2010 senate run and disastrous 2012 presidential campaign. That's of course in addition to winning for her rebel base their independence from the tyranny of the GOP's impure moderate element. No wild theory left behind, nor need it be, as long as it pertains to Sarah Palin.

If there is more proof than similar windows, building materiels, etc. OK, maybe. And believe me I am no fan of this crazed woman who likes to cast blame everywhere but where it belongs. There should be a paper trail and if there is NO concrete proof (which thanks to the press, will be found IF it exists) then let us just give thanks that this woman has left public life and will now hopefully assume her proper role in society - private citizen who wore out her welcome with continuous whining and mud slinging at those who would DARE to question her 'ethics'. Please. She's done a huge favor for the state of Alaska where my brother in law (an engineer near her area) reports that she is loathed by the locals in a BIG way.

This article will bite you in the b---. Better be blogging and writing the truth now, because you can be taken to court if you're lying. It's about time!

I'm beginning to think that nobody looked before Sarah hit the national stage. Once the first bit of scandal broke it was natural to look for more.
Well Sarah and Todd they are looking now,good luck.
