Remember "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof?"
Sure you do. Big Daddy and that famous line, " What's that smell in this room? Didn't you notice it, Brick? Didn't you notice the powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room?"
Well the mendacity was flowing pretty thick in St. Paul last week wasn't it? Here's just one more lump...
Remember in Sarah Palin's big acceptance speech in which she told everyone that anyone with a "special needs child" would have a friend in the whitehouse if she was elected?
Yeah. Right. I'm not even going to go down the path of who is going to look after her OWN special needs child because we don't need to go there (BTW did you know Palin's sister has an autistic son?)
Last week, while proving that McCain's team had not spent even ten minutes vetting this Veep candidate, I uncovered a recently (August) REACTIVATED civil lawsuit against Palin in Alaskan court records. But I couldn't get to the documents and hence didn't forward the information at that time. I believed she was named as a defendant in her capacity as Governor but I was puzzled because it also named various Alaskan school and social services agencies. Turns out it DID name her as governor, but the agency bringing the suit ALSO felt "special needs kids" should have had a friend in the governor. As such they made many attempts to bring the matter specifically to Palin's attention to both enlist her help and to try to avoid the lawsuit. But when they tried to contact her they got no response at all. Silence. Thousands of special needs kids in Alaska were all willfully IGNORED by Palin - and continue to be put at risk. Worse, it seems that the Alaskan agency that could have helped (the Alaska AG's office) was instructed NOT TO.
!Here's the news release
from Law Project for Psychiatric Rights about the suit they brought against Governor Palin and State of Alaska for "Massive Psychiatric Drugging of Children in Foster Care."
Frickin' lyin' HYPOCRITES! The news release include a link to the complaint as filed in the Alaskan courts (a lengthy PDF document).
these people got to GO!
I cannot take another 4 to 8 years!
