This is really weird reasoning. Sarah Palin points at the ClimateGate scandal and all that has come out in the run up to it and says.. she gets the fact that Alaska had been getting warmer and she was in the thick of doing something about it, when it became obvious that the warming isn't man made.
Where is the scandal? Where?
The “scandal” should be in the fact that the leftists are still pursuing their agenda in light of the fraud revelation.
There is no “scandal” when you change your position when the basis of that position has been shown to be highly questionable.
