Now that they are actually doing that, she&#8217;s trying to hold them off till after the election, when it won&#8217;t matter any longer. So now that SHE&#8217;S being investigated, she&#8217;s suddenly against the investigation and oversight by the legislature and doesn&#8217;t want any &#8220;housecleaning&#8221; done?<\/p>\n<p>(BTW &#8211; I&#8217;m not making the case that the trooper involved in this mess shouldn&#8217;t be fired, it sounds like he&#8217;s a real piece of work. But there ways you do that legally, and there are ways to get it done that break the rules and the law. It appears that she chose the latter course and if so it speaks very clearly to all this talk about her being clean etc. Stonewalling the Alaska legislature like she&#8217;s doing gives you a very clear view of how she will behave in the White House&#8230;&#8230;we&#8217;ve been seeing that kind of behavior for the last 8 years, and I well OVER it.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/opinion\/greenwald\/2008\/09\/03\/halperin\/index.html\"><br \/>\nA nice little wrap up of SOME of the things she&#8217;s been up to in Alaska<\/a>&#8230;.do you REALLY want this kind of person running the country?

(I use CNN as an example, since the right points at it the most&#8230;..since it would be REALLY tough to make that case against MSNBC or FAUX news, latter of which is simply a hard right propaganda dispensing machine).<\/p>\n<p>Instead, after watching her speech, (which I thought was only sloganeering of nasty right wing radio host&#8217;s worst kind of pandering slander, with literally nothing but very nasty attacks mixed with self congratulations &#8211; I was literally shocked by it and found it reprehensible in every way) I was stunned to watch the commentators on CNN fondling themselves in paroxysms of almost sexual ecstasy at her speech, making it sound as though someone had just found the actual 2nd coming of Christ!<\/p>\n<p>Liberal MEDIA?
