Maybe It Is Just Housegate, After All

But that’s still a darned big “-gate” — you betcha! Per The Inquisitr:

Multiple sources have been digging around in the wake of Sarah Palin’s cryptic resignation speech Friday and they’ve found that when Palin was Mayor of her home town of Wasilla, AK in 2002, she was influental in the construction of the Wasilla Sports Complex and hockey arena. First of all, the $12mil+ project ended up in the hands of contractors who were friends of friends of Palin. Secondly, at around the same time the sports complex was being built, so was Palin’s new house. What’s interesting about that is the house is constructed from the exact same materials the sports complex was built with. The windows in both structures are the same, the wood is the same, pretty well everything.

When the house was being built, Palin, being Mayor at the time, influenced the bylaw requiring building permits in the town so that now there is no official list of the contractors who worked on her house. …

It is plausable [sic] that the suddenness of Palin’s resignation, which even members of her family didn’t know was going to happen, could be the reason for her rather strange resignation speech - she simply didn’t have time to construct an elaborate speech because she already knew this mess was about to go public in a big way.
