Sarah Palin...Gov's deceitful attempt to "hold over" investigation 'til after election!

Hold on to your seat belt, it's going to be a bumpy ride...


On the heels of scandalous news reports that Sarah Palin sought to have an Alaskan State Trooper fired - and that there is a pending investigation to determine the extent of wrongdoing on the Governor's part - republican hatchet-men have sprung into the fray in a deceitful effort to protect their Vice Presidential hopeful.

Palin's pit bulls have not only begun to fight the allegations tooth and nail - but have demonstrated in the past twenty-four hours - their willingness to pursue whatever dishonest tactic is necessary to thwart full disclosure prior to election night.

Yesterday, for instance, a Palin aide refused to give a deposition to a legislative investigator reviewing the circumstances around the Trooper "incident".

Is this the kind of dubious conduct an innocent witness (with nothing to hide) would normally engage in when facing a straightforward government probe out to seek the truth?

In my estimation, no.

Then, a Palin attorney not only proceeded to question the jurisdiction of the proceedings, but fired off a missive asking that the State suspend the Palin investigation until the jurisdictional issue could be resolved.

If the powers-that-be grant the the suspension - any findings regarding an abuse of power by Palin - would not be released until after the election.

The republicans are not only acting dishonestly - but, in the process - trying to pull a fast one on American voters.

If Palin has nothing to hide - and is not guilty of any wrongdoing - why doesn't she hasten the investigation so that any doubts the public may have about the issues in question may be quickly laid to rest?

The fact that - Palin, her handlers, and key players in the republican party - are seeking to stall and delay the proceedings - signals the obvious:

Palin hasn't come clean about her conduct in respect to the State Trooper.

And, she doesn't want the revelations to come to light until she's (hopefully) safely entrenched in her post at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Does she think she's fooling anyone?

As Maureen Murphy once said,

"The reason there are so few female politicians is that it is too much trouble to put makeup on two faces."
