Former Alaska lawmaker responds to ‘bird-nose’ comment in Palin emails
The 24,000 pages of emails from Sarah Palin's first year and a half as governor released Friday did not yield any major bombshells, but a former Alaskan lawmaker hit back at Palin's use of the term "bird-nose" to describe him in correspondence with her staff:
From: Palin, Sarah (GOV sponsored)
To: Frye, Ivy J (DOA)
Sent: Sun Oct 21 14:36:58 2007
Subject: Re: Ramras
Oh yeah- and I jsu read your letter online @ Frontiersman!!!! I'm cheering. Todd's cheering.
I'll be in Juneau tonight. But not to hold Jay Bird-Nose Ramras' hand. What a doof.
Former Alaska Rep. Jay Ramras, who is Jewish, said there was a "meanness and a vindictiveness" in the way Palin used his physical appearance to describe him.
"She governs like one of the mean girls of the seventh grade," Ramras, a Republican, told JTA.
He said Palin became "more and more of an enigma to people living in Alaska when we watched her govern."
"I'm glad she's wearing a Star of David that she got in Israel," Ramras said. "I hope she continues to grow as a person."

In her emails she complains about Jewish Republican Rep. by vulgarly calling him names like “Vajayjay” and “Jay Bird-Nose Ramras”, and then goes on with her usual derogatory sexual undertone to suggest to keep her teenage daughters “away from the likes of Jay”. How many times has Sarah insinuated that someone who criticizes or just doesn’t like her is yet another sexual predator? This woman who thinks she should be the most powerful person in the world with her crude, hostile, bilous, anti-semitic mean girl language has some serious mental problems and needs a full psychological evaluation. PS - You left out the email where Palin calls Ramras a “Vajayjay” and if you don’t know what that means just Google it.
