Snipped from EarthLink - News.

It ain’t true about newspapers dying — Newspaper investigative reporting is alive and well, despite the reductions in their staffs. A major investigation is underway to vet Sarah Palin by Associated News. These investigative stories will be, most likely, as big, as important as Watergate!

Listen with me and imagine: “Oh Sarah, Oh Sarah, honey, we’re in deep shit. Somehow they recorded your pillow talk. They know all about you now.”

Yes, indeed. The Associated Press (Justin Pritchard and Garance Burke with Brett J. Blackledge contributing) are not telling Palin’s background story in 10 words or less as Palin would like but with a first news story of about 2,160 words.

This is what you get, Sarah, when you call people bad, threatening names, and peddle abuse. A dime is dropped on you, and sometimes a third party will smack you silly with things you thought you long ago buried.

Didn’t you learn anything at school off the courts and away from the gym floors? No buddy vs buddy stuff in the 4th grade in the playground for you? One goes to school to study lessons like arithmetic and spelling. But one also goes to school to learn life’s lessons.

As my Poppy used to say, “Don’t hide your burning candle under a bushel. It’ll burn down the bushel, then burn down the house. Always keep your candle in the open.

Sarah Palin is no “Sarah Palin” but the world will soon know Sarah Palin as Sarah Palin. Hockey Mom? Tomorrow more like Hockey Puck. To arouse your reading appetite, here’s a paragraph from within the 2,160 word news story:

“I’m not saying someone’s getting paid off for a sweetheart contract, but it’s very hard to ignore that this is your former partner and your former client standing there before you,” said Republican Sen. Lyda Green, a Palin critic who in August was among the handful of lawmakers who voted against awarding TransCanada (for the oil pipeline) the license. “Every time it was mentioned to the governor or to the commission, it was like, “How could you question such a wonderful person?”

And that, I think, is really the question: Is Sarah Palin a wonderful person. And once anyone gets past that guard — roadblock — Sarah Palin as a human being, as a potential Vice President is certainly two no-no’s. The emperor wears no clothes, neither do the candidates for President and Vice President!
