The Lies Are Catching Up With Palin/McCain

The scandal-ish stuff is finally catching momentum and drowning out the fawning over Palin. Her messages (mostly a bunch of lies) are being called out. This is good. The media is questioning Palin's decision to not cooperate with the investigation and calling it a partisan, democratic conspiracy against her. Her decision on how to handle her past has had the effect of completely changing her media coverage. Now she's kind of on the run, dodging, hiding, and trying to run from her political mistakes in the past now being investigated. Pretty Cheneyesque. To cap it all off, the biggest lie is the assertion that the investigation is partisan, when in fact it isn't. Maybe this results in less repetition of the tired old lies they've been repeating day after day in the face of the obvious evidence of it being a lie. Even the word lie is finally being attached to the words of Palin and McCain. This makes me less sad about the media's ability to avoid rolling over just because someone is pretty and popular. The last few days seemed like the week before the prom or a campaign for junior high vice president. Shallow and hollow.

This is exactly the type of stuff republicans ridiculed Hillary's assertion back in the '90's of a right wing conspiracy out to ruin Bill's ability to do his job one congressional investigation at a time. They finally got him because he wouldn't admit he got his dick sucked by a woman that wasn't his wife. This pivoted into 8 years of a guy who promised to restore "honor" to the position of presidency who instead got us where we are today.

Sound 12-16 years ago familiar? Sounds a bit like the stuff the republicans used to do after Clinton got elected? I thought it would. Palin, you should call Rove and other GoP strategists and thank them for cooking your freaking goose.

It's looking up for this old gander :)
