Lawyer Up!

McCain's campaign has sent an anti-terrorism prosecutor to Alaska to quash the investigation into Troopergate. They don't want anything to get out. Nobody is cooperating, even though Sarah Palin once filed an ethics complaint against herself in the matter, the better to get it behind her.

If she didn't do anything wrong, why the high-powered mouthpiece? Surely the whole story was thoroughly discussed in the vetting process, and finding nothing to worry about, Gov. Palin was chosen to make McCain her running mate. ( Yes, she did refer to a Palin/McCain administration in an event yesterday. Might be the first time she's told the truth since this thing started.)

Or, perhaps, just maybe, NOBODY VETTED HER WORTH A DAMN, and they just said, "Hey, nice rack"...and I am of course referring to the moose head mounted on her wall, you lipstick-less chauvinist pigs.

And at some point, she had to tell Steve Schmidt and Karl Rove, " Umm, boys? I think there may be a teeny little problem with what's out there."

Much smacking of hands against foreheads later, the lawyer was dispatched. Smooth.

At least we now know what kind of transparency to expect from a Palin/McCain administration.

OMG, FINALS ARE NEXT WEEK AND I HAVEN'T OPENED A BOOK!

President Palin has canceled numerous rallies and fundraisers for the next couple of weeks. I guess her wranglers have decided that she is not yet ready for prime time, and she needs to know a whole bunch of stuff to not look like a total idiot in the Vice-Presidential debate. Like, you know, the meaning of the Bush Doctrine...and energy policy...and, like, where the hell IS Spain, anyway? So she can cue McCain the next time.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST ( if you read it...)

Hmm, so Sarah Palin tells Sean Hannity that her ex-brother-in-law is a big, mean guy...hmmm, where have I heard that before...wait! Right here in this very blog! See August 29th post on here, "I Can Dissect That Nomination In Three Words". ("When this gets out, you can be certain that her defense will be: ' Listen, buster, I was just trying to protect my sister and her kids from a large, powerful man with a badge and a gun.' ")

Damn, I'm good. ;)
