I just saw a clip where McCain blessed the Cross before he lit it on fire...and then he said he was glad he didn't get the hair transplants yet because the pointy white hat he threw on his head fit a lot more snuggly that he anticipated. He said the hat made him feel more at ease when he addressed the crowd as "White brothers" instead of the played out "My Friends."
Sounds like another McCain campaign staff meeting.
I'll never be as golden as McCain, but I do wonder if part of his economic plan is to try to sell the gold teeth and use whatever few pennies he can get from it to help bail out the economy.

So much for Palin's do-good, Washington outsider, we-are-going-to-clean-up-the-corruption image.

Alaska panel finds Palin abused power in firing
By MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer
Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket.
Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain.
The inquiry looked into her dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, who said he lost his job because he resisted pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor's sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute.
The panel found that Palin let the family grudge influence her decision-making even if it was not the sole reason Monegan was dismissed. "I feel vindicated," Monegan said. "It sounds like they've validated my belief and opinions. And that tells me I'm not totally out in left field."
Branchflower said Palin violated a statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.
Palin and McCain's supporters had hoped the inquiry's finding would be delayed until after the presidential election to spare her any embarrassment and to put aside an enduring distraction as she campaigns as McCain's running mate in an uphill contest against Democrat Barack Obama.
But the panel of lawmakers voted to release the report, although not without dissension.
"I think there are some problems in this report," said Republican state Sen. Gary Stevens, a member of the panel. "I would encourage people to be very cautious, to look at this with a jaundiced eye."
The nearly 300-page report does not recommend sanctions or a criminal investigation.
She can go spin some cotton candy, because the Republican ticket is toast...they all know that choosing Palin backfired in their faces...she was a total flop in terms of attracting undecided voters...unqualified, unnecessary, and unbelievable. She may well go down in history as one of the dumbest VP candidates...up there with Spiro Agnew and Dan Qualye.
Excerpt from Yahoo! News:

On Friday during a town hall-style meeting in Lakeville, Minn., a supporter told McCain that he feared what would happen if Obama were elected...
...In another exchange, a woman told McCain that she didn't trust Obama because "he's an Arab."

Or is it just plain ignorance?
I saw the video clip of that lady...I swear I think she was Rip Van Winkle's wife...she woke up after sleeping for a few decades and realized the world had turned upside down (in her estimation).
They said when she first woke up and walked around her house she commented, "Where are all the slaves at?" :shakehead:

They've been talking about it for a long time but it was only yesterday that the legislative committee assigned to investigate the matter made their findings public in the 250+ page report.
What you heard before was the story. The accusation.
Because her sister was going through such a messy divorce and custody battle, Gov. Palin pressured the Alaskan Safety Commissioner to fire her brother-in-law from his job as a state trooper. Basically she wanted to ruin his life, and make sure he wouldnft get custody of his kids.
The Safety Commissioner said no. He said he had no grounds on which to fire the brother-in-law, and since the bro-in-law was in a unionc there was nothing he could do.
As the story goes, Palinfs response to being denied was to fire the Safety Commissionerc since she did have the power to do that.
Sounded badc but until the Alaskan report the other dayc it was just a story. Anyone can make something up. Like the story that says Obama is a secret Muslim, a terrorist who plans to take over the country and make the Christians turn away from Jesus.
The report from the Alaskan Legislature changes everything. They did their own investigation, held official hearings, took testimony and gathered evidencec and found that she actually did what people were accusing her of. She did in fact abuse her power. She; g violated a statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Acth.
Itfs not a hanging offense. But for someone whose only political purpose seems to be asking the questionc can the people trust this Obama guyc proof that she abused her power for personal reasons, and as a result the trust of the people of Alaska, is a very bad thing.
Thanks for the info guys! I can't believe that there are still people out there who like her even when evidence like this shows that she abuses her authority and is pretty untrustworthy. Though she seems quite hokey and "down to earth" during her interviews, she just seems like a stupid, yet conniving and power-hungry bitch to me.
Replying needs an account. Registration opens soon.
