Four Pinocchios for Palin

"I'm very, very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing, any hint of any kind of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that."
--Sarah Palin, phone interview with Alaska reporters, October 11, 2008.

The Pinocchio Test

Whether or not the Branchflower report -- which was launched by a bipartisan committee -- was a partisan smear job is debatable. What is not debatable is that the report clearly states that she violated the State Ethics Act. Palin has reasonable grounds for arguing that the report cleared her of "legal wrongdoing," since she did have the authority to fire Monegan. But it is the reverse of the truth to claim that she was cleared of "any hint of any kind of unethical activity."

2. Another Free Pass For McCain/Palin

Media ignores McCain's own ties to Acorn, the Keating 5, and Palin's role in Troopergate. The Media plays and replays smears basedon Ayers/Wright/Race. So, of course the MSM will ignore Palin';s most recent set of lies. When has Palin ever told the truth during this campaign?
