You'll be seeing more of this rumor that the McCain campaign has sent a dozen lawyers to Alaska to RE-Vet Sarah Palin. Who started this rumor?
The McCain campaign. Now they're feeding that rumor. I give you
Mark Halperin - George Stephanopoulos and Andrea Mitchell
Notice none of them mention Troopergate. Notice none of the talking heads is asking questions about Troopergate. What's this mean?
Ask yourself which of the following is more likely:
- A dozen lawyers were sent to Alaska to re-vet Sarah Palin. They were sent there to find out things that didn't come up in the initial vetting. This is what Mark Halperin and most of the media would have us believe.
- A dozen lawyers were sent to Alaska to impede and delay an investigation currently being conducted by the Alaska legislature.
Why would they re-vet her? Why? She's the Republican nominee for vice president. She is! She's speaking tonight! She's it! There are a hundred or more investigative journalists in Alaska. A dozen lawyers are going to find something those ivestigative journalists haven't found?
No way! No how! No Re-Vet!
Alaska's legislature is primarily Republican. But with everyone saying how independent Sarah Palin is, if you want to see a REAL independent Republican, just visit the Alaska legislature! The "dozen lawyers" sent to Alaska aren't up there to gather information on Sarah Palin.
They're up there gathering information on members of the Alaska legislature! Specifically, those involved in the Troopergate investigation. Affairs! Homosexual Program Related Activies! Drug Busts! Alcoholism! Murder! Traffic Tickets! They're pig fucking. They're gonna lean on people... hard!
Re-Vet? Not on your ass!
The McCain campaign had to explain those teams they sent up there. The re-vet story, leaked to a few of the Media Usual Suspects was the only way to go. The re-vet story doesn't hurt McCain. Might even help. We didn't vet her. So what? She's a maverick. John McCain's a maverick. He's a wild man. Vote for John McCain.
The media OR ANYONE ELSE talking about Sarah Palin with regards to anything besides Troopergate is obstructing the real story. Troopergate, and more importantly, what the McCain campaign is doing to obstruct it is the most damaging thing there is. It's the only thing they're afraid of. It's a gaping chest wound.
My dad used to tell me a story about when he was stationed in Korea. He said there was this Korean gardener who was stopped at the base gate every evening. Before the base guards would let him off base, they would look through all the hay in the fellow's wagon, looking for stuff he might have concealed there. Stuff he was trying to steal. They never found anything and they always let him pass. The guy was stealing hay.
Troopergate is hay.
