Sarah Palin's Private Photographer Has Seen It All
Citizen Palin 4 President ^ | Shushannah Walshe

Posted on 06/24/2010 7:11:11 AM PDT by MaxCUA

Shealah Craighead works in pictures, not words, but she's got a lot of good Sarah Palin stories. Here's one from this winter: It's Valentine's Day, and Palin is spending it at the Daytona 500. As Palin is greeted by the usual crush of fans, Craighead and other members of Palin's retinue are eyeing another celebrity in attendance, a certain dreamy jazz musician-slash-actor. Afterward, Craighead can't resist the opportunity for some girl talk.

"You just sat next to Harry Connick Jr. for 10 minutes! Isn't he so dreamy?"

"Isn't he!?" replies Palin, laughing.

The stuff of scandal, it's not -- but it does help explain the role Craighead plays in Palinmania. Since shortly after John McCain tapped the then-Alaska governor as his running mate in 2008, Craighead has been Palin's personal photographer, the chief documentarian of both the public and private sides of her emergence as a singular mix of grassroots force and big-ticket

Craighead seems like a real pro, I like her attitude. And she’s sure done a great job.

They’re a very attractive couple. I believe there was a reason they were so casually dressed, but I can’t recall the story.

One “creepy” and a thousand “thank you’s!!!” - not a bad ratio

Well I for one, have your back. That stuff is suitable for framing.

“Though she’s operated mostly under the radar, Craighead attracted some scrutiny earlier this spring, when Federal Election Commission filings revealed that Palin’s SarahPAC had paid her $11,596 for the first quarter of this year — while giving less to Republican candidates, and no money at all to GOP contenders in the 20 races Palin had infamously targeted on her Facebook page.”

Let me get this right. Palin paid more toher personal photographer/historian, out of her PAC, then she did to all republican candidates...and NONE to 20 she had “endorsed”?

What’s the purpose of Palin’s PAC, to pick up personal expenses and pay salaries of “trusted aides”?

To all of you donating to her PAC, keep up the good work! Glad to see your paychecks going to such an important and necessary conservative cause!

Anyone think Palin’s wardrobe is being furnished out that PAC?

Your standard of creepiness may vary, but I’d put fat chicks, muffin tops, and the inevitable tramp stamp way up the list. And have you ever seen Hillary’s cankles? Now THAT’s creepy!

This photo is great. This is how real people dress. What’s wrong with that?

If I was Sarah I wouldn’t give a dime to the GOP losers, good for her.

I don't know, I think she looks great, but some freeper told me I was a creep for posting it (I posted it on a bunch of threads when it first came out because the libs were going crazy with the fake boobs story and all that I knew it drove them crazy). The guy made me feel weird over it, like I was some stalker or something, but saw this post and thought I'd take a chance. Anyway ...
