Political Jackass

Politics as usual for the McCain campaign. His VP pick, Sarah Palin, is no different than the rest of the Republicans. In fact, the only reason McCain picked her is to try and woo some of the Hillary Clinton supporters. He can no longer criticize Obama for lack of experience when his own VP candidate has even less. Not only is she a Hail Mary pass by the Republicans, she is involved in a scandal of her own in Alaska. She is under investigation for her firing of a state official, Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. She has been instructed to hand over documents and recordings of telephone conversations as part of the probe, which grew out of allegations she sacked Monegan for refusing to fire her former brother-in-law from the state police.

Alaska legislators on Monday voted to spend up to $100,000 to investigate Gov. Sarah Palin’s controversial firing of former state Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. Read more.

Nice to see it’s politics as usual for the Republican Party. We need a change. Barack Obama is that change.
