No one should be surprised that a guilty verdict means nothing to Mrs. P or her supporters. But it’s still disturbing to hear her express pleasure at being cleared of “any legal wrongdoing.” Does she deliberately use the word “legal” to distinguish that sort of wrongdoing from “ethical” wrongdoing? Is she a genius with words, when all along we’ve been calling her a moron? We will need to ask George Orwell to get the answer.<\/p>\n

However, not only does she call guilty innocent, in this phone interview<\/a> with reporters, she calls Troopergate “Tasergate.” A clever attempt to refocus attention to Trooper Wooten, the victim of her vendetta, who is accused of tasering his own son. But guess what, Mrs. Palin, Wooten’s son subsequently chose to live with his father after a custody dispute! Nice try, but flagrant foul<\/a>, as they say in basketball.<\/p>\n

If you read the report, you will find that Todd Palin had his own perch in his wife’s office, a conference table where he sat all day making threatening phone-calls on behalf of the deranged Missus. I thought the First Dude was supposed to be a house-husband?? Maybe this explains why he never holds that poor baby. \u00a0 The best response to this shit is a story over here<\/a>, which ends on this note:<\/p>\n

“Elect these nutbars, and Todd Palin will be renditioning people who cut him off in traffic.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pap Smear<\/a>, we must crank up our efforts. We must challenge Palin’s “verbage<\/a>” and not allow any more nonsense to come out of her one-lipped mouth without calling her on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
