ARLINGTON, VA -- With today's Wall Street Journal report that pro-Obama Democrats have "airdropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers into Anchorage" to dig for dirt on our vice presidential nominee, the McCain-Palin campaign today launched the Palin Truth Squad to counter recent attacks on Governor Sarah Palin, her family, her friends and her record of accomplishment. The Palin Truth Squad will set the record straight against Internet and liberal smears of Governor Palin.
"We're proud of Governor Palin's leadership in Alaska and record of taking on entrenched special interests and the good old boys network," said former Governor Jane Swift. "Governor Palin's commitment to reform is well-known but there are those who would seek to distort that record with vile rumors and smears against her, her husband, her children and her friends. We will not allow those on the left and in the media to smear a woman who has always served her constituents with honor. We know the truth and are committed to ensuring it as well."
In the event of false attacks, rumors and smears against Governor Palin, the Palin Truth Squad will issue alerts and statements to voters and the media to set the record straight. Additionally, the Truth Squad will be available to respond to inquiries from the media.

Fine, let's send 30 into Chicago to see what dirt still hasn't been found.
Why are they not dropping their own Lawyer squad into Chicago to dig up the dirt on the Commie leftist radical ?
Why is this crap always one way ?
Now the idiot is talking about education ,thats what that Anneberg panel he was in charge of was about,where is the news on that ?
And when a reporter comes up and asks a sleazy question, the resident should say “What tabloid are you from? Oh we don't talk to tabloids”, and walk away.
The airlift to Chicago?? I await orders! Only when it comes about, we will be digging for very deeply buried truth, not lies ans smears.
Do any reporters know the way to Chicago?
McCain and Palin need to cite the Obama dirty politics in their speeches, etc. This is the kind of man/party they are and have proven it throughout these vicious slanders. Shows you they are actively involved in it with sending the lawyers, investigators, etc.
I have always chafed at the Republicans propensity to "be above the fray" and not call the left on their slimy politics. When fighting gutter fighters you must counter their back stabbing and sneak attacks with equal ferocity. They think we are stupid for letting them get away with their schtick so easily.
This is an area in which I am most disappointed with GWB.
