And now for some levity. "How Sarah Palin became Alaska's 'smartest politician.'"

http://www.ktva.com/reality-check-w-john-tracy-how-sarah-palin-became-alaskas-smartest-politician-206/

This aired on our local CBS news tonight. Do watch the video here for the snark, which is completely lost in the printed word.

She's definitely fallen from grace in her home state.

She's a joke here. I'm not saying she doesn't have a hanger-on or two here and there, but she would never win another election.

... with the "irrefutiatable" line.

But honestly, I didn't know whether she had fallen from grace in AK or not. Of course, the only "news" we get about Sarah is reaction to her nonsense on a national level. Therefore, we hear very little about how she is perceived "at home".

But thanks for the info - I'm happy to know that she's just as much of a joke in AK as she is everywhere else!

Her Arizona house was on the market a while ago, but I don't know if it's been sold. She's been keeping a pretty low profile around here.

I did note today that after spending $100,000 in legal fees, Levi finally has court-ordered joint custody of Tripp, who is now 7. The father of Baby #2 is also seeking joint custody. Probably best for the kids to have some paternal input from dads who are semi-normal.
