My thought is first ... so what? Why did she lie about this all? She would have been smarter to have just admitted to it early on and chalk it up to ignorance. She's obviously ignorant about laws, so most people would probably understand.
But never worry... Palin released her own report that clears herself of any wrong doing. I didn't know you could do that, due to, well, an obvious conflict of interest. But nevertheless, the make-your-own-reality anti-intellectual conspiracy theorists can choose to read something more pleasant.

Interesting though the overlap with the Bush doctrine ... the original one before 9/11. They believed they could "create their own reality" by saying something long enough. Feeding something to the media, then repeating it as fact. I think that only works with about 30% of the population though. |
With so much to worry about these days, who really cares, every politician uses their power and influence that's why they keep running for re-election so they have the power to use (or abuse depending on your point of view). I use my power and influence every day at work, who doesn't when they can?
The real issue is that it is getting harder to differentiate between the real Palin and the one on SNL.
