Palin Makes Trip to Neverland

Even ABC News, who was so softball on Palin in 2008 that they were outdone by the incredibly tenacious bulldog reporter Katie Couric, now knows Palin is off her rocker.

But when I asked Palin if she ever decided to pursue national office again, as she did less than a year ago when she joined Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the race for the White House, wouldn’t she encounter the same political blood sport? Can such ugliness ever be avoided? Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House the “department of law” would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.

“I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we’ve been charged with and automatically throw them out,” she said.

There is no “Department of Law” at the White House.

In fairness, maybe Palin was thinking of the “Department of Law” that allowed the Vice President to shoot someone in the face and then get an apology from the victim for it, the “Department of Law” that allowed the Vice President to order the illegal outing of a dedicated CIA agent, the “Department of Law” that commuted Scooter Libby’s sentence to “not a single second in jail,” the “Department of Law” that regularly purged United States Attorneys for not doing partisan prosecutions of Democrats, the “Department of Law” that never enforced our laws against spying on Americans in their homes, or the “Department of Law” that prosecuted only enlisted men and women for torture at Abu Ghraib prison that was clearly ordered by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
