These boots were made for walkin'
And that's just what they'll do..
Sarah Palin did have a job in between being mayor of Wasilla and
Alaska Governor: she was chair of Frank Murkowski's Oil and Gas
Commission. How long was she on this Commission? Less than a year...
until she quit in January 2004 with a big public huff (leaving the
Commission in the lurch with only one member), saying "the experience
was taking the 'oomph' out of her passion for government service and
she decided to quit rather than becoming bitter." She publicly cited
her frustration with being unable to be all straight-talky and
mavericky about the corruption and backbiting on the Commission, but
the resignation also came at a very convenient time for switching over
to lay the groundwork for her successful 2006 gubernatorial run.
