what is great about all of this..
Is “Troopergate” doesnt have any legs! I have noticed the MSM has been backing off of it bigtime...
It's worse than than. The trooper already admitted he tasered the boy, it was posted on FR yesterday. He claimed that the boy 'wanted to know what it was like', but he's the only one claiming that angle.
The problem for the media is that America couldn't give a millimeter's worth of damn for smacking down an abusive cop. At this point, even if there *was* undue command influence, most of America would support it in this context, and it would actually *benefit* Palin.
Secretly, or not so secretly, the vast majority of the U.S. is happy to ignore rules and regulations that protect dirt bag government officials, and are overjoyed when the government punishes bad apples. It's 'Dirty Harry' style vigilante justice, but in this context, it plays directly into Palin's 'frontier justice and clean government' storyline.
That reason, and that reason alone, is why the media is backing off of it. Because it could benefit Palin.
