Troopergate

<snip>"Gov. Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda, to wit: To get Trooper Michael Wooten fired," the report said.

You'd think this would be cause for consternation at John McCain's presidential campaign headquarters, but no. A McCain spokeswoman said the report "illustrates what we've known all along: This was a partisan-led inquiry run by Obama supporters, and the Palins were completely justified in their concerns regarding Trooper Wooten given his violent and rogue behavior."

We went back and read the report again, just to be sure, but we can't find those passages. And it's no surprise, given that the investigation was ordered by a Republican-dominated legislative council in July—before McCain tapped Palin to be his Lt. Reformer. It's one more reason to wonder if McCain knew what he was getting into, or why not.

Palin's attorneys issued a statement disputing the investigator's findings. Palin didn't make any money from her actions, they said, so what could possibly be unethical about them? And Todd Palin was simply exercising his right to free speech, they said.

It's all nonsense. Palin and her husband used the power of the governor's office—and the taxpayers' money—to settle a family score. That's bad enough. What's worse is that Palin—and McCain—don't see anything wrong with it.

you'll be longing for the carefree days of the Bush administration.

2. Beyond worse

We now see what a administration fronted by an imbecile has brought upon our country.
Can you imagine what we get from a administration "led" by a rapidly declining John McCain and "America's Fool" Sarah Palin.
In the background we'll have the thug, Todd Plain, playing the role of Dick Cheney without the connections.
This may be over the top, but I don't think so: The U.S.A. WILL NOT SURVIVE a McCain administration.
We need intelligent people calling the shots right now - even then it'll be a massive undertaking to restore the U.S. to any semblence of world respectibility.
