(H/T Crooks and Liars)The very day he announces his choice, Alaska State Senator Hollis French announces that Palin is likely to be deposed in the abuse of power investigation, dubbed “Troopergate” in the media. ABC is reporting that Palin wasn’t even in the running until this week and McCain sent lawyers to Alaska to vet out the Troopergate issue solely.
From Sunlight Project, Via the Anchorage Daily News, here’s a copy of the pending ethics complaint against Palin.
From Think Progress,
Palin didn’t like Hillary Clinton’s ‘perceived whine.’
During a Newsweek Women & Leadership Event in Los Angeles last March, Sarah Palin said this about Hillary Clinton:
I say this with all due respect to Hillary Clinton…but when I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism or you know maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think you know that doesn’t do us any good – women in politics, women in general wanting to progress this country.
Watch it:
On by the way, what do the Log Cabinites think of the ticket. Autumn Sandeen of Pam's House Blend noted: Y'know, ya' gotta give the Log Cabin Republicans (LCRs) some credit for the creative ways they've tried to put a positive spin McCain's candidacy -- now the McCain/Palin candidacy. Here's today's statement from the LCR (emphasis added):
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin can help Sen. McCain win this election by appealing to independent and young voters. She's a mainstream Republican who will unite the Party and serve John McCain well as Vice President. Gov. Palin is an inclusive Republican who will help Sen. McCain appeal to gay and lesbian voters.
