Doesn’t have to be fair or factual, just has to enable the headline “Palin abused power.”

Since the MSM has been running with the “Palin abused power” narrative anyway, there isn’t much more “damage” the MSM can inflict with this non-story.

“Doesn’t have to be fair or factual”.

Apparently it doesn't even have to be internally consistent. The first conclusion says Palin abused her power in violation of a statute. The second says she acted within her authority. Nobody with an IQ in double digits can take this seriously.

Absolutely and of course this is this morning’s headline even Sky News in Britain is carrying this statement on the ticker at the bottom of the screen.

Those who have not followed the story or read the actually ruling will believe she is either corrupt or behaved in a biased manner.

Several years ago some liberal hack dimocrat (I didn’t say what I wanted to say) made a statement that went along the lines of: “Its not the veracity of the charges that are important but the seriousness of the charges.”

Ever since then that has been the sole driving force behind most, if not all, of the liberal legal attacks.

The very VERY VERY bottom line of this report is the Dimocrats thought they had a club to beat on Palin and hence McCain. But, it turned out that it was a brother defending his sister. How was that going to play out in the public’s mind? Who could or would fault a brother trying to defend his sister from an abusive husband?

This path was turning into a disaster and the only way the Dimocrats could salvage anything is to say Sara violated the “spirit” of the law.

I wonder how many Dimocrats have violated not only the “spirit” of the law but the actual laws themselves? I know that list to be massive and extensive and well beyond any server’s ability to list.

No it doesn't. If they want to burn you, they will go to any lengths to do so, even if it means fabricating charges. Government agencies are good at doing that. They will even take down innocent people just to get to the one person they want to get back at. This whole thing was created to damage her politically.
