Les Gara Plays Games With the Truth at the WSJ

New tactic by the anti-Palin forces....can't use the ethics complaints, now they'll go after her legacy in Alaska.

The Wall Street Journal Law Blog, well-respected in the business community, yesterday published an open letter from Governor Palin's counsel, Thomas Van Flein, concerning the massive legal fees incurred by the Palin family in the course of responding to frivolous ethics complaints.

The letter apparently bothered Democratic state representative Les Gara so much that he felt compelled to respond to it in the comments of the blog entry. (You remember Mr. Gara - he's the legislator who is so partisan that he has tell himself "Act Calm Les, Act Calm" at the thought of laying eyes on Barack Obama.)

In the process of responding, Gara tells several half-truths, at least one blatant lie, and reveals the upcoming strategy of Alaskan anklebiters...since they will no longer be able to attack her in office with frivolous complaints, they'll now attack her legacy as Governor.

You'd think at least one of Sarah Palin's friends would have the presence of mind to launch a FOIA suit for the anklebiters' phone records, and the phone records of the nodes on the other end of the line, to see how many of them trace back to Rahm Emanuel's desk. Any wagers on that one?

Now the pack of useless losers in the Alaska legislature will have to go back to work and earn their seats. Anyone running against a DIM in this state she attack on all the money and time wasted on attacking Gov. Palin.

Les Gara is an idiot and a union goon. He is only electable in a few far left districts.

Les Gara is an idiot and a union goon.

He's also a liar:

Mr. Van Flien (sic) fails to mention that the Governor has conceded the merits of at least one of the ethics charges against - she’s paid a fine to settle it. Upon payment of the fine, it has now been dismissed.

That is a flat-out lie. The Governor conceded nothing of the sort and Mr. Gara knows it. She did not concede any merits and she did not pay any "fine". Sadly, the WSJ let him get away with it and another canard of the lying scumbag left continues to be propagated.
