from TPM... (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/211769.php)
"So let's put this all together.

We rely on elected officials not to use the power of their office to pursue personal agendas or vendettas. It's called an abuse of power. There is ample evidence that Palin used her power as governor to get her ex-brother-in-law fired. When his boss refused to fire him, she fired his boss. She first denied Monegan's claims of pressure to fire Wooten and then had to amend her story when evidence proved otherwise. The available evidence now suggests that she 1) tried to have an ex-relative fired from his job for personal reasons, something that was clearly inappropriate, and perhaps illegal, though possibly understandable in human terms, 2) fired a state official for not himself acting inappropriately by firing the relative, 3) lied to the public about what happened and 4) continues to lie about what happened.

These are, to put it mildly, not the traits or temperament you want in someone who could hold the executive power of the federal government."

1. You can't even get a parking ticket based on that level of proof.

2. The available evidence somewhat suggests that there is a chance you might be able to claim that there is a possibility there is a preponderance of proof that your assertion has some probablilty that it could very well be a half-truth.

Man are you in denial or what?
If it walks like a duck...etc..

You watch this knee jerk appointment is going to unravel fast and bite McCain in the ass or the media will put it on the back burner like the Keating 5. (http://www.nationalreview.com/contributors/levin040501.shtml)

Dharm... Are you in a position to declare who is partisan?

I'd rather ask Roseanne Barr on how not to be a plus-sized, power-hungry, feminist bigot.
