Rather than Vetting Palin, McCain Will Orchestrate a Cover-Up of Her Abuse of Power
Sort by Firedoglake (Free subscription) - 09/07/2008
It says a great deal about how McCain would govern that--instead of making a considered, rational decision, he instead decided to cover-up the negative aspects of his choice for VP.

Troopergate: A devastating exposé
Sort by Crooks and Liars (Free subscription) - 09/06/2008
ABC investigative journalist Brian Ross digs into the Troopergate story and comes to one obvious conclusion: Palin clearly lied about her involvement.

Biden challenges Palin to come out of hiding, Troopergate scandal gains steam
Sort by Pam's House Blend (Free subscription) - 09/07/2008
Sarah...Sarah... no time is a good time for goodbyes... Obama veep Joe Biden asks the simple question -- where is Palin ? He welcomes the opportunity to spar with her on the issues as she remains holed up in Alaska cramming for her midterm being tutored on McCain's policy positions and boning up on foreign policy, still unscheduled for any major press interviews or TV appearances to take questions....

Now imagine if this were, say, a scandal involving Hillary Clinton
Sort by Brilliant at Breakfast (Free subscription) - 09/06/2008
Imagine if Hillary Clinton were the running mate of Barack Obama, and there was a similar scandal involving her. Do you think the media wouldn't be clamoring for her to be removed from the ticket? Brian Ross takes on Sarah Palin's state trooper firing lies: I wonder if he'll be smacked down by Charlie Gibson?

Elmera Gantry
Sort by The Reaction (Free subscription) - 09/09/2008
By J. Thomas Duffy "I think God's will has to be done, in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that..." Good Grief! She makes Elmer Gantry look like a piker! Though she could probably fit either role, the Jean Simmons/Sister Sharon Falconer, or Shirley Jones/Lulu Bains, if they go to remake the movie , they need to reach out, pluck Sarah Palin and call it "Elmera Gantry"....

Liberals Like...Byron Dorgan?
Sort by Nashville for the 21st Century (Free subscription) - 09/05/2008
Did I just see that right, did McCain hold up Byron Dorgan as an example of the "liberals" Obama would be getting his ideas from? Yep, he did. In that much vaunted National Journal ranking that they are so want to use, Dorgan is right next to Joe "The View Inside McCain's Ass Is Nice" Lieberman with a 59-41 liberal-to-conservative rating. I get that Camp McCain still wants to demean and deride Obama...

The Troopergate problem
Sort by Pundit Nation (Free subscription) - 09/05/2008
This ABC news report from Brian Ross is pretty devastating. There’s a clip from Palin at a news conference where she seems to be, um, dissembling to say the least. And this issue isn’t just an allegation that’s popped up since McCain nominated Palin for veep. It’s been brewing for a while. A report is scheduled to be released—at the end of October. Ross all but claims at the end that the McCain campaign...
