Sarah Palin, the former “Miss Moose”, has experience up the Wasilla

The former “Miss Moose”

Sarah Palin was once “Miss Moose”, or was it “Miss Wasilla”… well, one of the two. Anyway, she then became mayor of this sprawling metropolis of Wasilla, population 5500 (at the time)… people, not Moose. Although there’s a bunch of them, too.

But before she was mayor, Miss Moose got elected to the elite City Council as a supporter of the controversial new Sales Tax! This was still back in the olden days of 1992 when people were used to bartering with furs and beads and things.

Sidenote: I’m not sure I like a Republican who supports new radical progressive taxes.

In fact Miss Moose won on advocating a “safer, more progressive Wasilla”. I think safer because they put up some Moose crossing signs and you actually did have to show your mug shot when you came to drink at the Mug-Shot Saloon.

But Ms. Moose served two very successful terms on the Wasilla City Council before being elected Mayor. She won by criticizing the incumbent mayor for his high taxes. (Sales tax?)

Once in power, Mayor Moose immediately took control and fired the police chief and library director. I think those were two different people.

But some Wasillians got their dander up. In fact a huge contingent of 60 people (and 3 moose) called the “Concerned Citizens for Wasilla” discussed holding a recall campaign to oust Mayor Moose, but then decided to go to the Mug-Shot Saloon and have a beer instead. Thus her political career was saved.

Although the police chief/possible librarian did sue her… on the grounds that he was fired because he supported the campaign of Mayor Moose’s opponent. His suit was eventually dismissed when the judge ruled that Palin had the right under state law to fire city employees, even for political reasons. (She could get a job in the Justice Department!)

From there, Mayor Moose ran for Lieutenant Governor and lost.

And from there became Governor (18 months ago), where she is still waiting for the jury to tell her global warming is real. She doesn’t trust all the snow melting because it does that sometimes.

Governor Moose is now under investigation by state officials for abuse of power. (She really COULD have a career in the Justice Department!). John McCain picked her to be his VP based on her experience. And the fact she looks really hot holding a big moose gun.

Uh-oh
