<p>Being reported in the New York Times article that extensively details her tenure as governor. I don’t know how McCain is going to try to lie his way out of these reports, but the reports are detailed with many quotes from people on record.</p>
<p>And this woman is going to help reform Washington?</p>
<p>Here’s the beginning of the very long article:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This woman is supposed to be a change from the way Bush turned government competence into an ideological cronyism machine? Note, too, that when she was mayor and someone said she could be governor, she said she wanted to be president. Isn’t that the kind of ambition that McCain’s campaign is supposedly against?</p>
<p>Since the media’s fed up with McCain’s lies and is finally calling him on it, the narrative about Palin being some kind of “I am not like those corrupt guys in Washington” reformer lying narrative is going to be destroyed. I would be shocked if this gets swept under the rug – or if it can be.</p>
<p>This notion of someone being bad, evil, a hater, anti-Alaska, anti-US is EXACTLY what made me queasy when I was watching her handle the “Task from God” comments during the Gibson interview. I went back and looked at the video of her in her church and there was one really clear case where she was talking about the pipeline she was working for being god’s work and that those against it were, by implication, godless.</p>
<p>We don’t need this again in the White House, or close to it. This sounds too much like Bush, perhaps even worse…</p>
<p>Bedhead - I know the topic off the Gibson interview was foreign policy, but was also disappointed that Gibson didn’t pursue the “task from god” conversation to include the pipeline. I was very curious as to how she’d explain it (without quoting Lincoln again).</p>
<p>The way he’s done it his entire campaign. Pretend like the exact opposite happened, and then blame Obama for something similar, just like he did for earmarks.</p>
