Palin A hillybilly succubus or simply a magnet for corruption? http://www.atlargely.com/2008/12/a-hillybilly-succubus-or-simply-a-ma... My bad feeling about Sarah Palin has lately become more of a philosophical theory on the nature of good and evil. Either that or I had some really bad Chinese take-out. But I am starting to think that rather than a joke, Sarah Palin is like some sort of curse unleashed on anyone who enters her orbit and a person surrounded by an assortment of strangely dark and even criminal elements. She is also a menacing force against those whom she perceives as foes. She is like some hillbilly succubus around whom bad things tend to happen and bad people seem to gravitate.
Just think about this for a moment: In early October, Sarah Palin dropped the ceremonial first puck for Philly Flyers and they ended up on a two week losing spree. Then Sarah Palin drops the ceremonial first puck on October 24 for the St. Louis Blues. Shortly thereafter, the Blues goalie, Manny Legace, slipped on the carpet put down for Palin and suffered a hip injury. In September-October, threats against then-Presidential contender (and now President elect) Barack Obama and his family increased dramatically. A report released by the Secret Service attributed the sharp rise in threats to the stump speeches/hate speeches delivered by Palin. In 1996 when Palin took office as mayor of Wasilla, the city seemed to not have much of a drug problem. By the time Palin left in 2002, Wasilla was well on its way to becoming the meth capital of Alaska. Maybe this little mess all started when Palin fired the long-time police chief? Even something as benign as Thanksgiving became something far more sinister around Sarah Palin. Add to this some additional tid-bits, like her husband's DUI, her association with anti-Semitic garbage and a secessionist party , and all sorts of black magic crazy, and you start to get a sense that something is not entirely kosher in Palin's world. And I don't have to tell you what Palin did to the McCain campaign, not to mention the GOP. So here is the latest (emphasis mine): WASILLA -- A 42-year-old Wasilla woman was arrested Thursday at her home by Alaska State Troopers with a search warrant in an undercover drug investigation. Sherry L. Johnston was charged with six felony counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance. Johnston is the mother of Levi Johnston, the Wasilla 18-year-old who received international attention in September when Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, announced their teenage daughter was pregnant and he was the father. Bristol Palin, 18, is due on Saturday, according to a recent interview with the governor's father, Chuck Heath. Troopers served the warrant at Johnston's home at the "conclusion of an undercover narcotics investigation," said a statement issued Thursday by the troopers as part of the normal daily summary of activity around the state. Troopers charged Johnston with second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance -- generally manufacturing or delivering drugs -- as well as fourth-degree misconduct involving controlled substances, or possession. I cannot imagine that Mrs. Johnston suddenly began to "manufacture or deliver" drugs only in the last two months. The investigators involved in the bust have even said their sting had been going on for "a while." This means that more than likely, Mrs. Johnston's alleged activities were going on during this election cycle. Think about this for a moment. Here you have Johnston, whose son has knocked up Palin's teenage daughter, allegedly manufacturing or delivering drugs (meth?) during a Presidential campaign in which Palin is running for Vice President of the United States. Palin is still at this point also governor of Alaska. Did no one think to do a background check on the family of a boy soon to marry the daughter of a governor/VP candidate? Was Palin herself not informed about the investigation either or was the arrest held-off until after the election? And really, if Mrs. Johnston had been engaged in these activities for some time, was she only caught now because her orbit entered Palin's? I am not saying that Palin is responsible for Johnston's activities. But Palin is responsible for the type of people she allows into her life. Now had this been a single, isolated event, then I would think nothing of it. We cannot always be aware of what people we know are engaged in. But Palin is a person known as a control freak, a governor with the ability to be incredibly aware of what those in her orbit are engaged in. So is it that she did not know this? In addition, consider this latest scandal against the backdrop of the number of other scandals, the amount of bad luck, and the seemingly dark forces that appear to be part of this woman's life, and a strange pattern seems to emerge. Maybe it is just simply that corruption attracts corruption? My father always says that if you want to understand a person, look at the people with whom they keep company. Maybe this is just another indication of Palin's character? Maybe this is really small-town America, the part that I never visited obviously. Maybe she is the character of Svetlana Nazarova from Nochnoy Dozor around whom a vortex of evil opens up. Maybe it is, as I said, nothing more than bad Chinese food on my part and there is nothing at all the matter with Palin's character, associates, and in general, her orbit. But I would not be at all surprised if we end up learning that Palin and her husband are both involved in a drug ring operated by their church in order to help fund their secessionist party so that they can create their very own anti-Semitic oasis in which animals are tortured on live television. Then David Cronenberg can make a film about it using appropriately dark lighting and imagery. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
