Sarah Palin Affair: Half-Baked Alaskan

September 7, 2008 · 4 Comments

Sarah Palin AffairThe National Enquirer broke a story about Sarah Palin and an alleged affair with her husband’s business partner, Brad Hanson.

It’s hard to believe the National Enquirer, but their newly acquired reputation as a reliable news source after it broke the John Edwards affair, have people wondering if the Palin affair is true.

Palin has proven so far that she has something to hide by refusing to talk to the media. The American people have a right to know everything about a candidate, public and personal. The candidate’s character and integrity is just as important as their policy views. So far, Palin has done a great job of providing neither.

So far, the media does not have anything to go by other than digging up information on their own. Palin is trying to play victim by blaming the media, but Palin’s refusal to even speak to the media, has many speculating about her honesty.

From Troopergate to Bristol’s baby mama Levi, Palin seems to be more of a “Jerry Springer” mom, than a hockey mom. The McCain camp dismissed the story as a “vicious lie”, but the National Enquirer fired back.

The National Enquirer’s coverage of a vicious war within Sarah Palin’s extended family includes several newsworthy revelations, including the resulting incredible charge of an affair plus details of family strife when the Governor’s daughter revealed her pregnancy. Following our John Edwards’ exclusives, our political reporting has obviously proven to be more detail-oriented than the McCain campaign’s vetting process. Despite the McCain camp’s attempts to control press coverage they find unfavorable, The Enquirer will continue to pursue news on both sides of the political spectrum.

Here is a funny video of the Sarah Palin Affair with a really cool song.

John McCain and the Keating Five

September 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment

After reading this article and a few other on the “Keating Five Scandal,” it is my hope some reputable news organization does further digging into what exactly happened with Lincoln Savings & Loans, how much did it really cost the American people, and most importantly in this election year, what was McCain’s true role.

Amid McCain’s new status, old scandals stir“–The Boston Globe

WASHINGTON – As William K. Black watches John McCain move toward the Republican presidential nomination, he thinks of a day 21 years ago that he considers one of the most troubling of his life.

Sarah Palin’s Wikipedia Entry Get’s Overhaul…We have the Original.

August 31, 2008 · 1 Comment

From Keatingfive.net

An unknown Wikipedia editor was hard at work late Thursday night overhauling Sarah Palin’s Wikipedia entry. NPR first reported the mysterious update. By Yuki Noguchi Listen Now [3 min 28 sec] 

The good news is that Keating5.net was able to obtain the cached Wikipedia entries prior to the overhaul. Definitely some interesting changes. See for yourself.

She was called “a politician of eye-popping integrity” and sections on her participation in a beauty pageant and her alleged use of influence to get her former brother-in-law fired were diminished.

Wikipedia is now restricting who can alter Palin’s page.”

That user is one “Young Trigg.” He or she was thanked and lauded by other Wikipedia editors for thoroughness, before questions of a possible conflict of interest emerged.Brian Krebs at the Washington Post writes:

 Perhaps more tellingly, some of the same users editing her page were almost simultaneously updating McCain’s Wiki entry, adding information dealing with accuracy, sources and footnotes to each.

Book Reveals: McCain Flipped Out, Called Wife a “C*nt”

July 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don’t Trust Him and Why Independents Shouldn’t by Cliff Schecter, reports an angry exchange between McCain and his wife that happened in full view of aides and reporters during a 1992 campaign stop. An advance copy of the book was obtained by RAW STORY.”

Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain’s intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, ‘You’re getting a little thin up there.’ McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, ‘At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.’ McCain’s excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.
“The man who was known as ‘McNasty’ in high school has erupted in foul-languaged tirades at political foes and congressional colleagues more-or-less throughout his career, and his quickness to anger has been an issue on the presidential campaign trail as evidence of his fury has surfaced.

“In the book [Schecter] outlines several other examples of McCain loosing his cool and raises the question of how that would affect a McCain presidency.”

What should voters make of this pattern? In February 2008 Tim Russert succinctly described McCain on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. A devilish grin spread from ear to ear as Russert, no McCain hater, leaned forward and spoke in a whisper, ‘He likes to fight.’ Russert got it right. But the big question isn’t whether McCain likes to fight: it’s who, when, and how.

Is John McCain a Crook?

July 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I say yes after reading this article. It’s all about how John McCain and his four pals in Congress attempted to strong-arm federal regulators into giving their campaign buddy Charlie Keating a pass after mis-handling his investors’ (the good citizens of California) funds to the tune of $3.4 billion.

U.S. taxpayers bailed out Charlie’s bank (Lincoln Savings & Loan).
