Sarah Palin refuses $25,000 pay hike, did you see the story anywhere else?

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said she would refuse a $25,000 pay raise during her current term as Alaska governor. The five-member state Officers Compensation Commission, created by the state Legislature, also said legislators needed more money, along with the lieutenant governor and government department heads, the Anchorage Daily News reported. If the commission pushes ahead with a pay raise, Palin will not accept the money, spokesman Bill McAllister said. And of course, at the time of this posting, not a word is mentioned about this anywhere on the liberal mainstream media sites. CNN? Nope. MSNBC? Yea right. ABC, CBS? Not. I’m sure there is still plenty of talk about shoegate and Caroline Kennedy begging for Hillary’s senate seat though. And of course the up to the minute fluffing of Hussein Obama’s cabinet picks. BTW, has anyone seen the corruption story against Bill Richardson mentioned on the aforementioned sites?

Rahm Emanuel urged to resign

rahm_emanuel_barack_obamaFunny how you can find this story on a UK news website, but no where on a biased America news site. According to the Times Online in the UK, the bullish, foul-mouthed Chicago arm-twister Rahm Emanuel has come under pressure to resign as Barack Obama’s chief of staff after it was revealed that he had been captured on court-approved wire-taps discussing the names of candidates for Obama’s Senate seat. Emanuel’s presence at the heart of the scandal threatens to roil the president-elect’s administration as a Chicago prosecutor builds his corruption case against Rod Blagojevich, the Illinois governor. Blagojevich has been accused of plotting to sell Obama’s Senate seat – which is in the governor’s gift – in return for financial and political favors.
