So if the Enquirer is correct in saying that McCain's Folly had an affair..
then she lied on her questionnaire? Her whole career is toast if that's the case.

BTW, doesn't she also have to undergo an intense national security clearance? I've been interviewed for those before and they ask a lot of intense questions of just about everybody you know or have ever worked with.

IMO, with an allegedly "good Christian" woman, the double standard...
...is gonna come out.

2. Did you not get the RNC memo, the one that said from now on "family values"
means lubes on sale? In my red state, Bill's escapades turned off a lot of older Democrats. Let's see how the Palen soap opera affects those good Bible-toten Republicans, and just how hypocritical they can be.

11. "lube's on sale" I seriously laughed out loud when I read that.
Yay, it's a Lube Sale! Just in time for Christmas!

(Don't mind me. Haven't had enough coffee yet.)

3. Today's edition says she came back from the dead on a UFO

But she's got a terrific new diet.

And Helen Mirren was a coke head.

5. This is the Enquirer we are talling about is there a real source?
I would think that if there were the MSM would pick up on it. I know they didn't with Edwards but they wanted to truly verify first.

8. Apparently the FBI said they never checked her out.
http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/09/palin_and_the_fbi_background_c.php

The McCain camp says that she went through intense scrutiny but that's just hogwash since the FBI wasn't pulled in, like I assume they have to be. So this entire crap about vetting is nonsense on the face.

14. We don't. This further speaks to McCain's judgment..
because it will be thoroughly investigated before she'll get a national security clearance.

13. nah, they'll give her a slap on the back and Larry Craig will show her how to wiggle and tap.
This is par for the course for them.
