i never said that.

yes, but in politics, if you have to explain, you've lost.

Troopergate: Palin was warned to stop "disparaging" sister's ex


Newsweek has now deepened the intrigue surrounding Sarah Palin's very own "Troopergate," a scandal centering around allegations that she fired Alaska's public safety commissioner because he wouldn't fire her former brother-in-law, Michael Wooten, a state trooper. The magazine has uncovered records from the divorce case between Palin's sister and her ex-husband, and the records show that for years, Palin and her family had been attacking Wooten's character and filing complaints with the state police about him.
The records, Newsweek's Mark Hosenball says,

show that during the course of divorce hearings three years ago, Judge John Suddock heard testimony from an official of the Alaska State Troopers' union about how Sarah Palin -- then a private citizen -- and members of her family, including her father and daughter, lodged up to a dozen complaints against Wooten with the state police. The union official told the judge that he had never before been asked to appear as a divorce-case witness, that the union believed family complaints against Wooten were "not job-related," and that Wooten was being "harassed" by Palin and other family members.​

Judge Suddock also repeatedly expressed concern about what he termed the Palin family's "disparagement" of Wooten. "Disparaging will not be tolerated—it is a form of child abuse," Suddock said at one hearing, adding, "Relatives cannot disparage either. If occurs [sic] the parent needs to set boundaries for their relatives." Hosenball reports that Suddock even considered restricting Palin's sister's custody rights regarding her children because of this disparagement.
Palin's conduct regarding Wooten and the former public safety commissioner is now the subject of an independent investigation.

Problem being most voters would never know that or seek it out. They hear sound bites and conjecture. Have any of you ever lived in small town America? The 'local' news is what most watch... not CNN or anything else. It's local news and sound bites. This is so fucking depressing.

this shit is great

Meanwhile, McCain's campaign said a new Spanish language ad set to air in battleground states blames Obama and Senate Democrats for the failure of attempts to overhaul the nation's immigration laws.
"Obama and his congressional allies say they are on the side of immigrants. But are they?" asks the announcer in the 30-second spot, "Which Side Are They On?"

"The press reports that their efforts were 'poison pills' that made immigration reform fail," he continues. "The result: No guest worker program. No path to citizenship. No secure borders. No reform. Is that being on our side? Obama and his congressional allies ready to block immigration reform, but not ready to lead."

But Obama and McCain cast identical votes in the major congressional showdowns on the issue last year.

Both men cast votes in favor of an unsuccessful early June effort to end a filibuster. Later that month, they voted again to end debate on the issue -- but again failed to shut down the filibuster effort, led for the most part by Republican senators.

The ad is set to air in Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada, all crucial states in November with significant Hispanic voting populations.

I was expecting that to be a lot better than it was. Is SNL that bad these days? I laughed about twice in the entire thing.
