and how am i 'attacking' her?
according to the photo below, it seems there is evidence that her child is a drug user.
so, in addition to not knowing that her child was having sexual relations, sarah palin also didn't know that her child was using drugs.
perhaps sarah needs to spend less time in the tanning bed she installed in the governor's mansion, and more time looking after the well being of her children.

"She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials," Hagel said in an interview. "You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything."and btw, hagel supported mccain in his run for the white house in 2000."I think it's a stretch to, in any way, to say that she's got the experience to be president of the United States," Hagel said.

And with articles from the National Enquirer, no less. Hey, ray, where's that Nat Enq article with Palin's adulterous affair with her husband's business partner? Geez, been waiting a few weeks for that baby. And where are the photos of the daughter smoking pot? Man, these lefties are grasping at broken straws.
But, hey, ray et al will love this "journalist" from the CBC. I must say, I am more ashamed at being Canuck than ever (this beats the Canuck PETA supporter who was in that cage outside of KFC -- was it? -- in BKK). This chick pretending to be a columnist/journalist is the scum of the genre. And to think my tax dollars help to pay her wages. This article is as low as what student radical ray shoots at other posters who disagree with his views.

Check for the "white trash vote" video. Unbelievably, the Ottawa Sentinel "British" journalist responding is a wimp who tries to defend this Mallick columnist. Groan. See why Canada sucks? Total absence of journalistic honour and creds. Shameful.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but looks like the Palin camp is stone-walling the investigation into her dismissal of the commissioner:
Palin's husband refuses to testify in Troopergate case - 19 Sep 2008 - NZ Herald: International and World NewsPalin's husband refuses to testify in Troopergate case
12:28PM Friday Sep 19, 2008
ANCHORAGE - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's husband has refused to testify in the investigation of his wife's alleged abuse of power, and a key lawmaker said that uncooperative witnesses are effectively sidetracking the probe until after Election Day.
Todd Palin, who participates in state business in person or by email, was among 13 people subpoenaed by the Alaska Legislature. McCain-Palin presidential campaign spokesman Ed O'Callaghan announced that Todd Palin would not appear, because he no longer believes the Legislature's investigation is legitimate.
Sarah Palin initially welcomed the investigation of accusations that she dismissed the state's public safety commissioner because he refused to fire her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper. "Hold me accountable," she said.
But she has increasingly opposed it since Republican presidential candidate John McCain tapped her as his running mate...
Earlier this week, Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg said the governor, who was not subpoenaed, declined to participate in the investigation and said Palin administration employees who have been subpoenaed would not appear.
State Sen. Bill Wielechowski, a Democrat, said the McCain campaign is doing all it can to prevent the Legislature from completing a report on whether the Republican Party's vice presidential nominee abused her power as governor.
...
Must be nice to be able to unilaterally dismiss an investigation against yourself by deciding it's not valid. This is the so-called 'maverick' who stands for change?![]()
Can you say implode? It is what is happening.

Love the lefty NZ Herald getting its say in there. (Like who gives a boomerang what Kiwis say). Got anything to add from say Le Monde or Le Figaro? Or how about Venezuela's Le Universal?
And this from another article about the whole email hacking affair:
Simple trick gave hacker Palin's password - 19 Sep 2008 - NZ Herald: International and World News...The break-in of Palin's private account is especially significant because Palin sometimes uses non-government email to conduct state business. Previously disclosed emails indicate her administration embraced Yahoo accounts as an alternative to government email, which could possibly be released to the public under Alaska's Open Records Act...
Change and accountability my arse.
^^
you are aware that you are Canadian aren't you jet?
I wonder at times.
Do you care what Hagel said or is he a pinko faggot in the making?
Firstly, what on earth makes you say the NZ Herald is "lefty"? The Herald has long had a strained relationship with the Labour Govt. in NZ and is perceived as largely being on the 'right' of the political spectrum.
Secondly, it's an AP article. Nothing to do with the Herald other than it was lifted off the wires and printed there - a common practise in newspaper circles.
So do you actually have any valid comments about the article itself? Attacking the source isn't working out to well is it.

^ Oh, sorry. Like you overseas socialists condemning the US Reps just because you can, I had assumed that NZ was all lefty and untainted. (Sorry to hear about the FM Peters scandal and how PM Clark kinda forgot to mention she had talked to Peters about the tainted money he got several months ago. Forget the whole gist; I flipped thru the story in the Economist while I was having am coffee.)
Of course, you are right, why would NZ Herald ship a reporter to the US when it can get wire stories. Wasn't there a local opinion on the piece?
Anyway, there are a few salient points in the story:
Alaska Senate President Lyda Green, a Republican foe of Palin, said Wednesday that the investigation is still on track.
...
Ignoring a legislative subpoena is punishable by a fine up to $500 and up to six months in jail under Alaska law. But courts are reluctant to intervene in legislative matters and the full Legislature must be in session to bring contempt charges, Wielechowski said. The Legislature is not scheduled to convene until January.
Well, if the legislature ain't convening until fekin January (after hunting season), WTF is the fuss about? Coz Palin's Republican foe (whose friends Palin likely dinged for funding abuse) is trying to get her name in the paper? Obviously, the McC campaign has told the Palins to blow it off.
Socialist!?
The fuss is that a candidate for the second highest office in the nation is deliberately stone-walling a legitimate investigation. One rule for her, another for everyone else. What does that say of her character particularly given the representations she's made about herself.Well, if the legislature ain't convening until fekin January (after hunting season), WTF is the fuss about?

When the legislature convenes has nothing to do with it save for the fact that it suggests it's even more of a cynical and calculated attempt.

The Legislature convenes in January; can she force them to move the date?
That's a red-herring, Jet. The point is she wouldn't force them to move the date if she could. Actually, on the evidence of it, if she could then she would push the date back in order to further avoid censure and charges for wilfully disregarding a legal investigation.
This is the kind of person you want running the country? One who wilfully ignores the rules because they're inconvenient to her? One who abuses her power to avoid being investigated for another instance of abuse of power.

^ I doubt it is her choice. She is campaigning and the handlers are making these decisions.

Top Republican says Palin unready
Senior Republican Senator Chuck Hagel has voiced doubts about Sarah Palin's qualifications for the vice-presidency.
John McCain's running mate "doesn't have any foreign policy credentials", Mr Hagel told the Omaha World-Herald.
Mr Hagel was a prominent supporter of Mr McCain during his 2000 bid for the US presidency, but has declined to endorse either candidate this year.
He was opposed to the Iraq War, and recently joined Mr McCain's rival Barack Obama on a Middle East trip.
'Stop the nonsense'
"I think it's a stretch to, in any way, to say that she's got the experience to be president of the United States," Mr Hagel told the Omaha World-Herald newspaper.
And he was dismissive of the fact that Mrs Palin, the governor of Alaska, has made few trips abroad.
"You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything."
This kind of thing will have an effect on independents
BBC North America editor Justin Webb
Mr Hagel also criticised the McCain campaign for its suggestion that the proximity of Alaska to Russia gave Mrs Palin foreign policy experience. "I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, 'I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia'," he said.
"That kind of thing is insulting to the American people."
BBC North America editor Justin Webb says Mr Hagel's opinion of Mrs Palin will have an effect on independent voters.
A senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Mr Hagel was a close ally of Mr McCain, but the two men parted company over the decision to go to war in Iraq.
Mr Hagel skipped this year's Republican National Convention in favour of a visit to Latin America.
Mr Hagel's decision to accompany Mr Obama this summer on a trip to Iraq and Israel, as part of a US Congressional delegation, led to speculation that he would throw his support behind the Democratic nominee.
However, a spokesman for the Nebraska senator insisted in August that "Senator Hagel has no intention of getting involved in any of the campaigns and is not planning to endorse either candidate".
