The president of the AFL-CIO lambasted Sarah Palin on her home turf Thursday, called the former Alaska governor a "crazy magnet that's pulling people to the right."
"She used to have a job, your governor. You knew her-or thought you did; I know I thought I did," AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka will say during a speech in Anchorage, according to his prepared remarks. "She seemed like a decent person, an outdoorswoman. Her husband's a steelworker. She seemed to take some okay stands for working families."
"And then things got weird. After she tied herself to John McCain and they lost, she blew off Alaska. I guess she figured she'd trade up, shoot for a national stage. Alaska was too far from the FOX TV spotlight," Trumka will say. "I bet most of you, on a clear day, can see her hypocrisy from your house."
