The similarities I think are that they both have little regard for the actual job they were supposedly hired to do.

Well the bridge to nowhere would be more of a public spending scandal than a private one. Something which pretty much every government gets caught up in at one point or another. A lot of bad projects, or porkbarrelly projects to go around.
I dunno if I'd say Palin had less regard for her job than the average politician. I say average cause it could probably be argued successfully that a lot of politicians don't have much regard for their job, so it's a tough comparison. What I would say about Palin is that she is dumb as a bag of rocks, has little regard for viewpoints beyond her own, is not qualified for her job, and all that considering running Alaska is probably one of the easier jobs to begin with. A bunch of money with low population.
