Palin: How ugly *is* that firing?
Sep. 23rd, 2008 02:35 pmPalin still dodging the probe.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Less than a week after balking at the Alaska Legislature's investigation into her alleged abuse of power, Gov. Sarah Palin on Monday indicated she will cooperate with a separate probe run by people she can fire.
( More about Palin trying desperately to evade this investigation. Since the basics are already out -- she tried to get the state trooper who divorced her sister fired -- I wonder why the artful dodging. I heard that her husband also tried to get the state trooper's workman's comp claim turned down, so I suspect this is nastier than we know. )

Now Palin has kicked out the press on her foreign policy, okay, let's put that in quotes, "foreign policy" U.N. crash course.
[Unknown site tag] told me right before I went back to sleep that Palin was getting a UN crash course in foreign relations by meeting (*eyeroll* once) with som foreign leaders (all of the ones on the list have benefitted from US cash). The campaign banned all reporters from the meetings. The campaign just wants pictures, no record of what they talk about.
In protest, CNN pulled both its reporters and its TV crew, denying her the manipulative splashy coverage.
Yeah, those writers. They're dangerous.
I snorted and went back to sleep. Then I dreamed that I was the alternate candidate (fuzzy how). Meeting with Palin I told her, "Well, I've lived in India for two months, I've lived in Germany for a quarter, and I spent half my life in Canada. Plus I speak a little Hindi and German and I'm earning a degree in International Studies. Even I have more qualifications than you do."
When she tried to argue with me, and I told her, "It doesn't matter anyway. They're not going to let us have any power. We're just here because they wanted a woman."

In response to questions about why pool reporters who routinely travel with Palin were denied access, spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt didn't offer a reason in a statement that read, "The decision was made for this to be a photo spray with still cameras and video cameras only."
A television producer with a notepad was denied entry into Karzai's suite by a man who repeatedly said, "No writers."
