Sarah Palin is being sued for more than $100,000 by an longtime Alaska political activist who said the hockey mom tried to railroad him while she was governor.This sets up a convenient narrative should Palin enter the 2012 presidential race. All the stories will lead with "Sarah Palin, currently being sued in Alaska, has thrown her hat in the ring..."
Theodore "Chip" Thoma of Juneau alleges Palin launched a campaign "to punish, embarrass, discredit and silence" him after he raised serious concerns about traffic in the neighborhood surrounding the governor's mansion.
Thoma's attorney, James McGowan, said that after Thoma complained about tour bus traffic on the narrow streets around Palin's place, the governor attempted to turn the tables and make it appear as if Thoma were directing "some unsavory and lunatic" campaign against the first family, the Associated Press reports.
The traffic was due, in part, to Palin's sudden national fame after she was picked by Republican Sen. John McCain to be his running mate in his failed bid for president.
Thoma is a 2010 recipient of the Celia Hunter Award for Outstanding Volunteer Contributions presented by the Alaska Conservation Foundation.

Palin Sued for Causing Traffic or Something
Palin Derangement Syndrome: There is no known cure.
I have a preliminary definition:
ReplyDeletePDS - Palin Derangement Syndrome
Excessive hate toward Sarah Palin resulting in childish behavior. Name calling, repeating faulty negative stories about Sarah and her family, and wishing harm to her and her family. Also, characteristic of people with PDS is that they don’t know anything about Sarah Palin’s real beliefs or life story.
Cure? I agree, there are no know cures.
Theories: Maturation. Education.
