Fox News reports that Governor Palin’s motorcade (she has her own motorcade–I’m so proud) is en route to the convention center. I’m waiting with baited breath for Governor Palin to take to the podium. This will likely be my last update before the speech (and I won’t likely be updating during the speech) so if you want to share your comments on the speech, please do so.
Ann Coulter Touts Palin as Only She Can
Ann Coulter, who has been outstripped as reigning diva of the right by our own Governor Palin, launched into a full-throated defense of the Vice Presidential nominee today as only she can.
The link above will take you to Ann Coulter’s webpage, which has the Palin article on the front page currently. But just to whet your appetite, here are a few of Ann Coulter’s nuggets of wisdom:
After drawing “Keith + Obama” hearts on their denim notebooks, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews stayed up all night last Thursday, writing jokes about Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, the presumed vice presidential pick. Now they can’t use any of them.
So the media are taking it out on our brave Sarah and her 17-year-old daughter.
She went on to comment on Troopergate:
They tried to create a “Troopergate” for Palin, indignantly demanding to know why she wanted to get her ex-brother-in-law removed as a state trooper. Again, public corruption is not a good issue for someone like Obama, Chicago pol and noted friend of Syrian National/convicted felon Antonin Rezko.
For the cherry on top, then we found out Palin’s ex-brother-in-law had Tasered his own 10-year-old stepson. Defend that, Democrats.
And last but certainly not least:
When liberals start acting like they’re opposed to pre-marital sex and mothers having careers, you know McCain’s vice presidential choice has knocked them back on their heels.
Truer words have never been written.
Enjoy!
Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Palin Files Ethics Complaint About Self
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported earlier today that Governor Sarah Palin has filed a complaint with the Personnel Board, which handles ethics complaints against government officials in Alaska. This comes after a $100,000 investigation was authorized by the Governor and the Legislature to investigate allegations that Governor Palin used improper influence to have her ex-brother-in-law fired from his position as a state trooper.
I think this is an encouraging sign. Where the Democratic investigation in the Alaska legislature is likely to drag on and on and continue to affect the Presidential election, an impartial investigation by a board that is empowered to do these kinds of investigations will be seen as less partisan and, therefore, the results will be more accurate.
Will this stop irresponsible speculation on Governor Palin’s actions? No. But it shows (just as all her other actions have) that the Governor is forthright and honest about her record.
