There is something curious about the release of traffic and court records about Sarah and Todd Palin over the last 48 hours. Who released this information over the Labor Day weekend, when all government offices were closed?
Why did McCain/RNC send a team of lawyers to Alaska to "investigate" the release of information?
Why did Sarah Palin suddenly hire a personal lawyer in regards to the "troopergate" investigation?
Is it possible the release of information was not legal? Was it done by the state police or other people in the Alaska government who are enemies of Palin?
What if the release of information can be connected back to Obama's henchmen or the DNC?
Sarah did not hire a pesonal attorney. It was done for her.
Good analogy...
Uh, the McCain / Palin team released it I would think. You always get your bad news out there yourself, preferably at a time when nobody’s paying attention (like a 3 day holiday weekend when the media is going crazy over an underachieving hurricane)
Oh great, now the libs are gonna wonder who is paying for Palin’s attorney...
Yeah, but on the last day of a holiday weekend? I suspect this was done to create as much damage as possible. I suspect it was done by her enemies in Alaska. At least it’s out there now instead of the Friday before the November election.
"Our concern is that Hollis French turns into Ken Starr and uses public money to pursue a political vendetta rather than truly pursue an honest inquiry into an alleged ethics issue," Van Flein said in an interview.
Ken Starr is evil now?
The Dims have certainly been doing “opposition research” for months on all possible Republcan VP candidates. Palin has been mentioned as a VP possibility for months. They had all this stuff a long time ago and are dumping according to the schedule they think helps them most.
They don’t want her running for Vice President. Some are hoping he’ll be forced to replace her.
I believe an attorney was needed because the case comes up for hearing in a few weeks. Also becasue Sarah’s new status affords antagonistic special interests an opportunity to use the courts to smear embarrass and drag this personnel matter out through the election.
With a good attorney it should effectively be thrown out.
Basically, does the Governor have authority to hire and fire personnel in this position? Was there cause?
BTW- I’d love to see the Secret Service get a handle on this ex BIL State Trooper, the guy who tasered his 10 yr old son to discipline him and threatened (in front of the kid) to put a bullet in his grandfather (Sarah’s father).
This is a trick question, right? And, precisely, what is the difference henchmen and the DNC?
Then why is a team of Republican lawyers headed to Alaska? Surely not to investigate the release of information by themselves.
The left is scared spitless of Barracuda Palin getting into power in Washington. She had a test run of putting the gov’t back in its cage in Alaska, and is ready to do the same on the national scale.
The libs are furious and frightened.
I lay into evidence the horrible treatment Clarence Thomas received, and also enter into evidence Walter Mondale - Even old Geraldine is considering voting for McCain this year.
And I really wish this was sarcasm, but it was mentioned over and over at the DNC in 2000 in Los Angeles by the delegates.
How ironic that a news media that can’t say anything negative about Barack Obama during the months he’s been running can dig up all kinds of supposed “dirt” on Sarah Palin in one weekend?
They must be e-mailing and text-messaging like crazy.
Overplay their hand, they will.
We all need to pray on this one . . . a lot.
Recall that the head “Borker” was Biden.
The left wing of the blogosphere and the liberal media have gone tilt at the nomination of Sarah Palin as presumptive vice-presidential nominee. Hordes of Democratic investigators and journalists are pouring into Alaska in the hope of digging up any dirt on the former beauty queen turned politician.
If panic is a sign that Senator McCain got this one right then the knee-jerk we are witnessing, if no real skeletons emerge, indicates that at present the Republican presumptive candidate is batting a million.
Images of Joe Biden’s nomination to run alongside the Democratic nominee, Barrack Obama, and even Hurricane Gustav have quickly been drowned out by the stampede that Palin’s nomination has occasioned.
