"Read My Lip... No New Taxes...." "Mission Accomplished"... "Got Nothin' To Hide..."

Every now and then, politicians hand us one-line lies that stick.

Like Sarah Palin did last week when she told

Gov. Palin has plenty to hide.  And it's not just Troopergate.

First, the emails and audio tape show clearly that people who answered directly to Palin pressured for the firing of the her brother-in-law trooper (Wooten), as well as the Commissioner (Monegan) when he refused to fire him.  A bipartisan Legislative Council has ruled that the Commissioner will stay, (actually, he is to be re-instated), in other words, that Sarah Palin was wrong in her efforts to fire him..

Today Sarah Palin announced that she REFUSES TO COOPERATE with an investigation. This is a reversal of her position when she said she would welcome an investigation.  Read the CNN report.

Ok, let's move on to what life will be like when Obama and Biden win the election.

But before we do that, let's also review what else Gov. Palin has to hide:

(1) The accepted the Bridge to Nowhere money, but never built the bridge.  She kept YOUR federal tax dollars.
(2) She failed to sell the Governor's jet, and then ended up losing money on the deal.  I wonder who profited?
(3) She was selected by (as Get Real put together in an earlier article) by the People for the New American Century, not by McCain.
(4) She has no (none, zero) foreign policy experience.  Worse than that, she is indescribably ignorant in the area.  She didn't know what the Bush Doctine is.  That's the war policy of the current president that has led to the deaths of so many American men and women have died in Iraq.

Now that both the trooper and the Commissioner report that she lied to ABC's Charles Gibson last week, it appears that Mrs. Palin has been.. um, no double standard here, ok, everyone?... caught with her pants down.

With nothing to hide.

Part of me thinks that the whole Sarah Palin thing is a smoke screen.  What about the RNC's candidate for president?  The thought for today:  Let's not forget that McCain is woefully inexperienced and ignorant in economic matters.  All he knows about money is how to help his wife spend hers and buy so many houses that he has lost count. 

That alone should disqualify him.
