Changing the Subject From Sarah Palin to Wall Street

Changing the Subject From Sarah Palin to Wall Street

Wall Street's Monday lurch has wiped Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin off the front pages. That's probably a good thing for Palin as her former press secretary made the loony claim that "Obama operatives" have "hijacked" for political purposes the Alaska investigation into the firing of her public safety commissioner.

From CNN.com:

Former Palin Press Secretary Meg Stapleton told reporters in Anchorage that the power probe has been 'hijacked' by 'Obama operatives' for the Democratic presidential nominee—namely, Alaska state Sen. Hollis French, the Democratic lawmaker managing the investigation and an Obama supporter. French has denied working on behalf of the Obama campaign.

Rarely in the annals of American political history have claims so far-fetched been made by a high-level aide, whether present or former. Remember, dear readers, the Palin investigation was launched well before Palin was on the McCain team, and at a time when her name as a vice presidential prospect was barely being mentioned.
