Sullivan talks a lot about the danger of McCain and his “double down” thinking.  Well, this week, he’s doubling down on Sarah Palin.  Now that the baby truther conspiracy is garbage; now that the AIP story is garbage; we’re getting into Troopergate.

The ABC story linked above is incredibly biased.  It never mentions that Officer Wooten made death threats against Palin, her father and her sister, drove drunk and tasered a 10-year old—charges supported by a police investigation that resulted in ... a five-day suspension.  Nor does it mention that Palin requested the investigation of herself by filing an ethics complaints against herself.

The investigation has now been moved up and we’ll find out the truth.  But this really looks like a lot of nothing to me.

Update: I do agree with one thing the Palin bashers are saying—actually a few things—but the one point I will absolutely concede is that she should do a press conference and take queries from the media.  I’m not sure why they are holding her back.  It makes them look like they’re hiding something.

From what I’ve heard and read of this, there’s nothing she did that couldn’t have been better done 5 minutes sooner.  This guy was a disgusting pig cop who deserved to be fired and then jailed with the general population.  This is another non story.  I hope that the left keeps it up with this.  Their constant wolf cries are digging progressively deeper holes…

Every falsehood against Palin is run to like it was Pulitzer Prize worthy while every allegation against Bill Clinton that proved true was hardly mentioned.  Of course there’s a liberal bias, but I’m sure it’s just because the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy wants it that way.

I really think they’re holding back so the media takes the bait and look like fools by substantiating false rumors.

The more people that read and take Andrew Sullivan seriously, the more I wish for a planet-killing asteroid to come along. This guy is so far off the rails anymore that those who take the time to quote or ponder him make me openly question the continued survival of our species.

That’s about as biased as it gets when they leave out WHY she wanted the child-tasering cop fired. Tasergate.

They are waiting for her to memorize the presidents and capitals of all the countries. You just know they are going to ask her things like, “What’s the capital of Turkey”.

Palin’s brother in law was a wife-beating, child abusing scumbag. He’s lucky Todd Palin didn’t show up on his doorstep with an axe handle…
