Today's new Palin tidbit

  • 6 Comments
  • by: DavidThi808

from TPM


The Washington Post reports today that, while Mayor of Wasilla, Palin oversaw the hiring of a lobbyist, Steven Silver — a former chief of staff to now-indicted GOP senator Ted Stevens — to help win federal earmarks for the city.

But Silver appears to have additional ties that could further undercut Palin’s image as a squeaky-clean reformer. According to Senate lobbying disclosure reports examined by TPMmuckraker, from 2002 to 2004 Silver listed as a client Jack Abramoff’s lobbying firm, Greenberg Traurig. On Greenberg’s behalf, Silver lobbied the federal government on “issues relating to Indian/Native American policy,” “exploration for oil and gas” and “legislation relating to gaming issues” — the very issues that Abramoff headed up for Greenberg at the time. In other words, Silver appears to have been a part of “Team Abramoff.”

  1. This just keeps getting better and better. The republicans were shooting for a Harriet Miers pick, and got stung. The old saying is “Never make a decision when you’re angry or panicked”.

    Only question left is when and how they dump her for joe.

    Awkward.

    1. Is there ever a moment when McCain is not “angry or panicked”?

      And they’re dumping her for Romney, if they dump her. The delegates would revolt if pro-choicer Joe Lieberman were nominated at the convention.

  2. Even if there are answers to the negative questions, it doesn’t matter.  Once you have to defend it, you have lost.  This has not been a good week for the McCain / Palin team.
