Also amazing that the Slimes just caught wind of this story.
Perry announced two weeks ago. I really had to check and see if this was dated from September. It’s not.
Sheesh!

oh well
Sarah Palin would indeed be a fun appointment and no doubt could do a good job

Palin doesn’t need to be in a leadership role. She’s
got enough problems herding her on family around.

Encouraging the investigation by another gov't is completely, 100% legal. The only reason anyone would want no investigation is that they are involved in a conspiracy to obstruct justice. That fits the NY Slimes to a T.
