ABC ATTEMPTS CPR ON TROOPERGATE

While head inquisitor Hollis French waited in vain for Todd Palin to appear for his show trial, ABC News was trying its best to breath new life into the sham troopergate investigation:
An internal government document obtained by ABC News appears to contradict Sarah Palin’s most recent explanation for why she fired her public safety chief, the move which […]

ALASKA AG SAYS CUT THE CRAP

The tide is turning on the Obama partisans who concocted the “troopergate” fraud. In addition to Governor Palin’s refusal to particpate and the lawsuit filed by Alaska legislators to stop it, Alaska’s AG has put them on notice:
Alaska’s attorney general says state employees subpoenaed in the investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin will not testify. In a letter to […]

TROOPERGATE: SUBPOENA SKULDUGGERY

Well, “troopergate” continues along its predictable and tawdry trajectory. The Obama partisans conducting this ”investigation” have, of course, issued a subpoena for Governor Palin’s husband.
That these hacks intend to drag Todd Palin through the muck is particularly ironic considering that they have shown no interest in questioning the central figure in this “scandal,” Michael Wooten:
The Alaska state trooper at the heart of […]

DEAR MEDIATARDS, THANK YOU

Dear MSM, 
Thank you for your mean-spirited and mendacious coverage of Sarah Palin. You have accomplished what no Republican strategist, talk radio host, or blogger could have managed—-you have energized conservatives and convinced many independents that they should vote for McCain-Palin.
I would like to offer special thanks to the Washington Post for your incredibly dishonest story claiming that Governor […]

TROOPERGATE: MEET THE INVESTIGATORS

The other day, I wrote a post about the phony inquiry being staged by Alaska Democrats concerning Governor Palin’s sacking of recalcitrant underling Walt Monegan.
For anyone doubting that this whole ”investigation” is a partisan scam cooked up by a bunch of good-old-boy political hacks, here’s a smoking gun from the Obama-Biden campaign web site:

The man overseeing the “investigation,” Sen. […]

SMEAR CAMPAIGNS FOR DUMMIES

If you want to know the basics of an MSM smear campaign, Dean Barnett provides a step-by-step description of how it’s done:
I think it’s time to take another brief look at the left’s method of smear dissemination. Yesterday on a blog hosted by the prestigious magazine the Atlantic, a post popped up at 11:49 a.m. with the breathless […]

THE PHONY TROOPERGATE SCANDAL

Democrats and the “news” media (but I repeat myself) are aggressively promoting the “troopergate” story. In the tawdry tradition of Ronnie Earle, an Alaska Democrat named Hollis French is overseeing an “investigation” into Governor Palin’s firing of Walt Monegan, an official who was apparently using his office to protect a crazy and dangerous state trooper named Michael Wooten.
Trooper Wooten, whose various offenses included Tasering his […]

SARAH PALIN IS SOLID ON HEALTH CARE

I think John McCain has hit the ball out of the park with his VP choice.
Among the many assets the Alaska governor brings to the Republican ticket is a bias in favor of free market health care reform. Here’s a quote that captures her general position:
I support flexibility in government regulations that allow competition in health care that is needed, and […]

DEMOCRAT HEALTH PLATFORM REDUX

Masochist that I am, I’ve been perusing the Dems 2008 draft platform again. I can’t help myself. This thing is like a horrible accident from which I cannot avert my eyes.
It’s really astonishing that they could get so many irretrievably bad ideas into a single document. The one that caught my eye this morning was the call […]

DEM HEALTH PLATFORM: EMPTY PROMISES

The Democrats have cobbled together their 2008 platform and it is a predictable mixture of bad ideas and promises they can’t possibly keep. This second category is well represented by the health care plank.
In fact, the very title of the health care section, “Affordable, Quality Health Care Coverage for All Americans,” implicitly promises a combination that no one […]
