You knew this was coming, right? Back in July, Palin tells us: “I’ve said all along, hold me accountable,” Palin told reporters in Juneau. “And I’m telling the truth when I say that there was never pressure put on Commissioner Monegan.” Then we have the ex-Commissioner responding: “She’s not telling the truth when she told […]

Today is the day that McCain picks his VP candidate at a rally in Dayton, OH. EDIT: VC was right, it really is Palin. How desperate is that? Update: Kos reports various media reaction — Joe Scarborough: I can’t imagine a woman that’s been a governor for a year and a half, but to debate […]

Adventures in Maverickyness — Flip Flops Are Not Just for Kids Anymore!
