Have you also gotten the divorce proceedings that Todd Palin's former business partner just went to court to have sealed?

Wow, It is so amazing to read about all the information coming out. This really makes McCain's advisors look bad because we all know he did not pick this woman. His party did and he was just going on for the ride. It is funny how seemingly sane people can hear this stuff and blindly defend all of these allegations. We all know we have a double standard here. I cant wait to hear what happening next. Palin uncovered is like watching an episode of Jerry Springer with Trailer Park Trash included.

Ah, wouldn't it be nice if half these people were in the University of Illinois library going over the Annenberg Challenge papers, the board that Obama served on for 4 years with Ayers that resulted in total failure for the Chicago public schools? If only.

She cut taxes in her area so she could grab the taxes YOU PAY to pay for her area. Isn't that what earmarks are, in essence?

"During that time, Sen. John McCain, a strong opponent of the earmarking system, complained three times about specific earmark projects heading for Wasilla..."

Hilarious.

@TWILaura...I just pumped you up on a few blogs. I expect your hits to start spiking really soon. You'll probably get more twitter requests too.

Palin hardly sounds like much of a reformer if she had Wasilla parked in front of the federal earmark feeding trough. And Wasilla got its fill, apparently. It's time to call a pig a pig. Just more of the same right wing hypocrisy.
