My guess, in light of the fact that the drive-by media has made NO MENTION of this SEVEN MONTH OLD STORY, is that this has long since been forgotten by just about everyone in Alaska.
This is an OP-ED column from JANUARY that a FReeper is using as a hit piece in his smear campaign.
This quote is showing up in articles introducing Palin:
"She's as Alaskan as you can get," says Dan Fagan, an Anchorage radio talk show host. "She's a hockey mom, she lives on a lake, she ice fishes, she snowmobiles, she hunts, she's an NRA member, she has a float plane, and her husband works for BP on the North Slope," Fagan says. Doesn't sound like Fagan is holding any grudges.
