SOS!

How do YOU clean stubborn spots off your resume?

You call in the scrubbers.

Key Alaska allies of John McCain are trying to derail a politically charged investigation into Gov. Sarah Palin’s firing of her public safety commissioner in order to prevent a so-called “October surprise” that would produce embarrassing information about the vice presidential candidate on the eve of the election.

In a move endorsed by the McCain campaign Friday, John Coghill, the GOP chairman of the state House Rules Committee, wrote a letter seeking a meeting of Alaska’s bipartisan Legislative Council in order to remove the Democratic state senator in charge of the so-called “troopergate” investigation.

Oh, Soap Opera Sarah.  You can scrub and scrub, but your reputation will never come clean.  You’re just the Same Old Soap in a shiny new box.  Maybe you should clean up your own act before you try and clean up Washington.  Didn’t they vet you at all?

Look, here’s the cover of the new People magazine.  No, seriously.

Why, Sarah, I believe you’re on your way to being one of the Biggest Celebrities in the World.  You know, I’ve got a great idea.  How about you stay with the governorship and get your own Reality TV show instead?  We’ll get it on A&E to give is some class, y’know, something to ease the transitions between Queer Eye and Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Hell, I’d watch that show.  I just don’t want to live it.

    T, you are going to have way too much fun with this one. The lovely (*gag*) Ms. Sarah is waaaay too familiar to those of us with Southern roots.

    We all know this scary person.

    Great post, oh Lizard King.

    Tbogg has a quote up from Palin, as overheard by an Alaskan waitress: following Obama’s win over Clinton in the primaries, Palin exclaimed, “So Sambo beat the bitch!!”.
    Family values not so much…

    Best part about this story is that the guy in charge of the investigation responded to these shenanigans by moving up the date of the results getting released. It was going to be the end of October, but now it’s going to be early-mid October. Whoops

    And TPM is reporting on possible witness tampering by McCain forces. Previous willing witnesses now say, not so willing.

    The “law and order” party strikes again…
