Three people tell Enquirer Palin lover’s name

According to National Enquirer, Sarah Palin’s co-tangoer in the affair so hot it reportedly nearly wrecked her (anointed?) marriage is Brad Hanson.

As Mayor Whazzup™ was actually mayor of Whazzup Wasilla at the time, maybe that’s why she remodeled her office to look like a bordello.

The more you read, the more you think that behind the religious and other veneers (and the huge pancake make-up), you actually have …

The Alaskan Addams Family.

Palin the 'bordello' elitist

“It looked like a bordello”

That quote comes from former Wasilla City Council member Nick Carney, Sarah Palin’s original political mentor. And that’s not all he has to say about her allegedly illegal mayoral office remodeling, done for $50,000, without city council approval:
“I thought it was an outrageous expense, especially for someone who had run as a budget cutter,” said Carney. “It was also illegal, because Sarah had not received the council's approval.”

Of course, I don’t think I need to use a hyperlink for the tanning bed that Mayor Whazzup put in her office, which would help the Whore of Wasilla™ be properly tarted up to run the bordello.

Read the rest of the story for more of her budget-busting antics.

Mayor Whazzup™ is nice lack of work if you can get it

And… promote drinking! (Scroll below)

Well, THIS is a good way to start your career as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, in addition to being Mayor Hatchetwoman through your personal vendettas:

Cut your work down.

And, that was cutting down what was already a below-average mayoral workload.

That’s because, compared to mayors of similar-sized small towns around the country, Sarah Palin didn’t have much legal authority:
The universe of the mayor of Wasilla is sharply circumscribed even by the standards of small towns, which limited Palin's exposure to issues such as health care, social services, the environment and education.

Firefighting and schools, two of the main elements of local governance, are handled by the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, the regional government for a huge swath of central Alaska. The state has jurisdiction over social services and environmental regulations such as stormwater management for building projects.

So, about all she oversaw was the library and the librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, she canned, the police department and the police chief, Irl Stambaugh, she canned, and fixing potholes in streets. Did she can the public works director, too? (Don’t forget, she DID fire the museum director, too, after being elected.)

Answer is yes on that last rhetorical question, too. Her new public works director who lacked engineering experience but was married to a top aide to a former Republican governor.

Oh, speaking of Stambaugh, do the fundies know this?

She clashed with Stambaugh soon after she said elected over his push for moving bar closing time from 5 a.m. to 2 a.m.

So, Palin likes drunks!

There’s also a planning office, but from descriptions of the city’s layout, I’m not even sure Wasilla has zoning regs. And, in a town like that, city officials usually rubber-stamp big-box builders’ applications.
