Sound Familiar?

Fill in the blanks:

BOTTOM LINE: ______ and ______ are trying to ignite a partisan firestorm that wipes out the ___________ investigation until after the election.

I expect you were thinking, "Bush, Cheney, and … damn … there so many suppressions … which one should I pick?"

However, the answers in this case, from a blistering editorial in Alaska's biggest newspaper, the Anchorage Daily News, are: Palin, McCain, and Troopergate.

Yeah, I know. It's getting as hard to keep track of all the Palin scandals as it is with the Current Occupant, isn't it?

If you want to get caught up on Troopergate, Zachary Roth has a well-written and heavily linkified post up on TPM. Of particular note is one to an op-ed written by conservative radio host Dan Kagan, who says:

Palin can't constantly change her story and expect us to believe her each time she does.

and:

Clearly most Alaskans choose to ignore the facts of the Troopergate scandal. They want Palin to make it to the national stage.

Republicans scold me all the time, "You don't want Obama to win do you? Stop criticizing Palin!"

My question to my conservative friends is simple. Does the truth still matter?

Good for him.
