Sarah Palin finally took questions on Tuesday from her traveling
press corps on her campaign plane. Asked if she thought Senator Obama was dishonest (about Ayers, apparently, but who knows?), “I’m not saying he’s dishonest, but in terms of judgment, in terms of being able to answer a question forthrightly, it has two different parts to this. The judgment and the truthfulness and just being able to answer very candidly a simple question about when did you know him, how did you know him, is there still — has there been an association continued since ’02 or ’05, I know I’ve read a couple different stories. I think it’s relevant.” g - JR |

And . . . Richard, Alaskan politics and corruption make your part of the country and NJ where I started look if not squeaky clean, at least not in the basement. That, and her fibs, not just her words per se, is what gives the belly laughs in the NW to her candidacy. Sarah as a "reformer?" All things are relative but Sarah, or frankly any Alaska politician of the last few decades, are walking ethical time bombs, D or R. The process of building up a Resource/Govt largess based State has always been messy. Words like "conflict of interest" and "conservative" just do not have the same meaning up there. Folks who don't know that may know Alaska from the tour ships but not much else. Alaskans as a group are some great people, and fun, and Alaskan women are in a class by themselves if one appreciates strong, athletic women as I do. But clean politics? NFW. She is getting a bad wrap on some of the regional speech patterns. Folks in the PNW say "You Betcha" all the time. And "fer sure," and some Chinook jargon words like "skookum" etc, sometimes we use flat Native American inflections and word order, and lots of hard "R"s etc.. That is how we often talk to one another and I would guess that she is a bit more that way because she hasn't traveled much out of the PNW. But who ever came up with Palin, whoever was supposed to vett her for the Rs, deserves to be shot by the Rs. And on her and her husband's ultimate ethical demise . . . I will give odds for a modest bet. Dave The days of drunk 14 year old Native American prostitutes rolling around in the bar floor sawdust of Juneau during the legislative session/cum Mardi gras, may be over, but crooks still abound in the Chambers who rue the little progress thats been made. |

I disagree. I've defended both Dems and GOPers for gaffs that were blown WAY out of proportion by the media and/or the opposition. Is her statement as eloquent as it could be? Nope. Do I understand what she is trying to communicate? Yes. Do I think that you and others understand what she is trying to communicate? Yes. And besides, nobody has been able to get an answer, eloquent or otherwise, out of Obama about Ayers to dismantle, anyway... politics aside, the lady is simply an utter failure in her efforts to use the english language as a method of communication. Well, granted, she isn't a lawyer or used-car salesman or Alan Greenspan or something...yeah, yeah, yeah, I know - it depends on what the meaning of "isn't," isn't... yfitons wayno And I know you've read enough depos to know that often, a transcript of the depo of a generally-eloquent person often does not eloquently convey what those present clearly understood as being conveyed. Here's the answer: "I expected that at some stage we'd have to give it. Now, I'm not sure that we expected that it would come up in the way that it did. But it was unrealistic to anticipate that, during the course of this campaign, if not now then certainly in the general election, that this was not going to be an issue that had to be addressed. But it's nothing that's going to be unique to the next presidency. It's been something that presidents throughout our history have or have not dealt with, but it's always been there. " Guess the question and the person being questioned - was it Palin on the economy or McCain on "The Keating 5?" NOTE- the next presidency was substituted for a word that would provide a clue to the identity of the speaker YFCITGS, R ....or was neither, but rather, Obama when asked if Rev. Wright and his race was going to be an issue in the campaign |

Fairness Hmmmm. So, what do you think of the campaign the Dark Ops branch or the RNC has been running for a year now in Southern Florida, targeting elderly Jewish registered Democrats with anti Obama messages saying that he is an Arab, a secret Muslim, and a Jew hater, who plans to destroy Israel? Do you think the Justice Department should be looking into this "anonymous" campaign? Dave |
