She Was For Socialism Before She Was Against It

McCain/Palin, the gift that keeps on giving. The New Yorker has unearthed this latest gem from Palin:

A few weeks before she was nominated for Vice-President, she told a visiting journalist--Philip Gourevitch, of this magazine--that "we're set up, unlike other states in the union, where it's collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs."

I am SO going to miss these two a week from now. Perhaps after they get annihilated in the election, they can take their comedy act on the road or maybe do a two month stand in Vegas.

Palin can wear her $150,000 wardrobe and McCain can fly in on his Sugar Mama's personal jet from one of their plethora of houses, and they can take turns talking about what an elitist the new President is.

In other news, McCain is calling for the resignation of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, in the wake of his felony conviction on seven counts of making false statements on Senate ethics forms in an effort to hide hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts and work on his Alaska home from an oilfield contractor at the center of a corruption investigation in the state.

Way to take the high road there, McCain, but isn't there another Alaskan government official who was recently found guilty of ethics violations for abuse of power in trying to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from his job as an Alaska State Trooper? It seems to me that if you're calling for resignations over ethics violations you might want to start with your Trophy VP. I'm just saying.
