I'm thinking she needs to trade in the Naughty Monkey shoes for a pair of hipboots.

More on the repuke consulting firm that "parted ways" with her:

SarahPAC is so….yesterday. All the cool kids are now throwing their hard-earned money to Alaska Fund Trust!

Campaign Solutions, the Republican consulting firm running the show at SarahPAC has dropped the PAC like a hot potato ”parted ways” with Sarah Palin’s political action committee, whose first financial disclosure we can look forward to in June. This news came the day after an ethics complaint was filed against the governor alleging that the contractual relationship between the Governor and SarahPAC is a violation of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.

The group had been working with the Palin operation to raise money for SarahPAC but decided to step aside after a series of strategic and philosophic differences, according to a source familiar with the decision.

The SarahPAC website appears to still be accepting donations, but potential contributors are headed off at the pass with a big text box asking them to donate to the legal defense fund with the lofty name ”Alaska Fund Trust” instead. But as of this writing, there is still no actual link on SarahPAC to the fund, but instead, a statement saying to wait for the link, and that the fund is coming soon. Seems like a little breakdown in communication. Hmm. How very unusual….

Link to the fund..you can download the fund's "rules"...basically says that donees can take money out and do't have to give the trustee a reason..even goes as far as to talk about who can take money out for minors. This is nothing more than an ATM machine for the Palin clan.

1. The consulting firm that ditched here
is located here in Alexandria. I wonder where.

Beauties, they appear to be. Representing the Swiftboaters AND Judicial Watch.

And THEY dropped HER?

God, she must really be vile......................

3. Wonder how much info they will share about "withdrawls" from this fund
Cuz by the way the thing reads, Palin/her family/and her "colleagues" just have to tell the fund manager to give them money, no questions asked, and it has to be given to them.

If so, great. The house of cards will fall eventually and bring her down. I hope she gets knocked off her high horse.
