Did any of the Sunday shows cover the abuse-of-power report?
I flipped around, but didn't see it.

If the abuse of power isn't scandal enough to get attention on its own, what about the way Sarah Palin lied about it afterward?

And shouldn't the pundits be asking how the abuse-of-power report reflects on the first would-be executive decision ever made by John McCain?

And, pre-Bush, wouldn't this lying, lipsticked pig have been asked to step down from her candidacy if not from her governorship?

And what will we tell her children?

2. "Bump in the road"? They wish.
I think it's going to have serious repercussions for Sarah, at least here in Alaska, which is the most important thing since she WON'T be VP.

3. That bump in the road is her character. It won't go away.
... looking forward to seeing her go, though.

8. Not specific about Palin.

But about abuse of power and fighting it. I thought it was a little more than coincidental.

Someone else caught it too: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7425225&mesg_id=7425225

6. Can you imagine if Biden....
was found to have abused the office he holds? The entire FUCKING media would demand that Obama drop him from the ticket.

It happens to Palin and its a bump in the road? The media is just shitty...plain and simple. If they would truly do their job Obama would be up by 20 points in the polls...I have no doubts about that.

7. And the governorship is an EXECUTIVE office.
She's already a corrupt executive.
