The "ethics scandal" was her firing a state trooper...her brother-in-law...who was beating her sister. Oh my God! The impropriety of it all!
Governor of a corrupt state? Among other things, she cut loose AK's Rep because he was under indictment, and backed the Lt Gov. Who just won the Primary. And she shut down Ted Stevens' "Bridge to Nowhere". Oh my God! She's clearly corrupt by being in the same state!
I was really hoping it'd be Palin, but I didn't think it'd happen. But it's a clearly brilliant move. The day after the Dem Convention, and the networks are wall-to-wall McCain-Palin.
See? This is how you carry BFM into politics. Keep the other guy defensive, bleed down his energy, and don't fight his way.
Awesome.
