Governor Sarah Palin wishes Iron Dog racers well at the start of the 2009 race in Big Lake
The second ethics complaint in a week against Gov. Sarah Palin alleges a conflict of interest when she wore Arctic Cat logo gear during this year’s Tesoro Iron Dog snowmachine race.
Arctic Cat sponsors Palin’s husband, Todd, in the world’s longest snowmachine race, Big Lake to Nome to Fairbanks.
But Palin, in a statement sent to news media this afternoon under the headline “Latest Bogus Ethics Complaint,” said the criticism is unjustified.
“Yes, I wore Arctic Cat snow gear at an outdoor event, because it was cold outside, and by the way, today, I am wearing clothes bearing the names of Alaska artists, and a Glennallen Panthers basketball hoodie. I am a walking billboard for the team’s fundraiser! Should I expect to see an ethics charge for wearing these, or the Carhartts I wear to many public events? How much will this blogger’s asinine political grandstanding cost all of us in time and money?â€
Linda Kellen Biegel, a Democrat who blogs under the name “Celtic Diva,†said in her complaint that Palin “improperly used her position and state resources to serve her personal financial interests by being a walking billboard for Arctic Cat, a private for-profit company and family business sponsor.â€
What a bunch of crap – just like many of the FLAP’s regarding Palin.
Sarah must continue to be a big threat to the LEFT for them to continually promote this nonsense.
