After reading the McClatchy story Official: Palin's never issued an order to Alaska Guard Phil Gramm rushed to consult with Senator McCain on the impact to the campaign.
You realize John that she’s never given an order?
No, no I didn’t realize that Phil. Get that from Gen. Campbell did you?
Yep.
How do we fix it?
She’s visited with them, Kuwait I think.
Ahh, yeah, that’s what I heard.
Maybe...
Well we could, but, you know...
Yes. I think we could make a case.
Okay then lets go with it.
Great I’ll call Rick and tell him the play is she has indeed given orders to the guard. While expressing support for the troops the governor told them not to get shot and to come home soon.
Good start Phil. Can we add something more personal?
Well, we could add say she reminded them about brushing their teeth.
Okay. That it then?
Yes, it is John.
What’s next?
That’s it for now, we’re done.
