I think the majority of Alaskans have a more favorable opinion of Kate than they do of $arah. She is not very popular here and most feel that it is pretty fake to see previews of Palin driving an ATV and wrecking the salmon streams. Her daughter is dressed in rain gear and Sarah has shorts, another dysfunctional family trait. The publicity agent put out a media blurb that Palin and her family were hiking Mt. McKinley and it was being filmed for TLC. Another lie–everyone in Wasilla was talking about how the helicopters flew Sarah and her circus to the end of the trail and they pretended that she just finished the hike. Kind of like when on the book sellabration she bragged about being on the Palin bus and then flew chartered plane everywhere at $4000 per hour and hopped on the bus one block before the book signing, pretending that she had been on the bus all along. Poor Sarah Palin is so ocnfused that can’t tell what is truth and what is not.
