In an effort to show how Tea Party conservatives really (REALLY) are not waging a war on women, Sarah Palin has been been showing up throwing her weight behind female conservative candidates.
It didn't take long for the giggles to start.
Wherever the shadow of Palin falls, something turns rotten,
it seems. According a local news report- A
Fox News outlet nonetheless- Florida Senate Majority Leader Lizbeth
Benacquisto from Florida's District 30 played an impressive magic trick with
the help of Sarah Palin's witchery.
Benacquisto was able to make a simultaneous appearance at
two places at the same time, campaigning
in southwest Florida with Sarah Palin, while voting on the Senate floor in
Tallahassee.
Senator Benaquisto said she left the capitol early Thursday, though we confirmed business did not conclude that day until 6 p.m. She spent that evening at a barbecue fundraiser for her Congressional campaign with Palin in Naples.
Yet, the voting record showed she stayed in the Senate to continue to vote -- indicating someone voted in her place (in violation of legislative rules.)
Hardly a high crime but it does provide proof- as any more
were required- that politicians are much more interested in fund-raising and
campaigning for their esteemed position than actually doing the required tasks. A fundraiser is a like a party with a purpose whereas the responsibility of actually voting is dull, dull, dull.
Apparently this sort of absentee voting goes on quite a bit despite the rules. But then a rule never stopped Palin so why should it stop her protege? You can almost hear Palin saying "Ah, rules, schmules! Trust me, girlfriend!"
