The Huffington Post has posted a really good article regarding Sarah Palin:

Did Sarah Palin wrongfully push to have her ex-brother-in law fired? Was she really against the "Bridge to Nowhere?" Did she really sell Alaska's plane on eBay, or just list it on eBay? Did she actually have any substantial duties commanding the Alaska National Guard? The correct answer to all these questions is: who cares? Which isn't to say these aren't valid questions, or that Palin and the McCain camp aren't playing it fast, loose, and coy with each of them. The point is that Palin, and the circus she's brought to town, are simply a bountiful collection of small lies deliberately designed to distract the country from one big truth: the havoc that George Bush and the Republican Party have wrought, and that John McCain is committed to continuing.

"no thanks"

Oh, Sarah.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.

Didn't your mother ever teach you that lying is wrong? And the thing about lying is, the truth always comes out. Just like it did when you told us you said "no thank you" to the "bridge to nowhere" a week ago, and then the media and blogosphere sniffed around and showed that you did, in fact, support said bridge.

An article on the Huffington Post discusses further:

Though Palin did abandon her onetime support for the bridge after winning Alaska's governorship, she did so only after federal dollars dried up. Moreover, she kept the federal funds already given to Alaska. Yet Palin still continues to use the line in each and every stump speech. In response, the Obama campaign is turning to humor. "On the same day that dozens of news organizations have exposed Governor Palin's phony Bridge to Nowhere claim as a 'naked lie,' she and John McCain continue to repeat the claim in their stump speeches. Maybe tomorrow she'll tell us she sold it on eBay," said Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor.

quote of the day

“I believe John McCain chose Gov. Palin because he truly believes that women who supported Hillary — an experienced, brilliant, life-long public servant — would vote for him because his Vice President has two x chromosomes. McCain’s selection of Governor Palin is a transparent and irresponsible decision all in the name of trying to win this election. John McCain has served this country. No one in this election is denying him that. But his selection of Governor Palin has demonstrated that he is willing to put his desperation to win this election above the welfare of the American people."

lies, lies, lies

Not to continue to attack the republican candidates, but honestly, guys? Hasn't the blogosphere proven already that the truth always comes out? The GOP convention was guilty time and time again for stretching the truth, and flat out lying in various speeches. Couldn't they just hire a fact checker?

who to believe?

Apparently it's being reported that Sarah Palin had an affair with her husband's business partner (...first mate?...). McCain's camp is threatening legal action, which blogger Perez Hilton says "makes her look guilty." The Enquirer was, apparently, the first news source to break the story, and as Hilton points out, has been right before about politicians having affairs.

My question is, does this matter? I mean, extramarital affairs used to matter to Republicans, but I maintain that, while I wouldn't want to date/marry Bill Clinton, he made a great president and sure, doing the nasty (allegedly) in the Oval Office isn't exactly kosher, he still managed to ride out eight years pretty successfully. And he was the H.B.I.C.; Palin would only be VP, so really, doesn't it matter even less?

Well, anyway. Read the two articles regarding the subject here and here.
