They just don't get it

NYTimes pretends to worry Disclosures on Palin Raise Questions on Vetting Process -- A series of disclosures about Gov. Sarah Palin, Senator John McCain’s choice as running mate, called into question on Monday how thoroughly Mr. McCain had examined her background before putting her on the Republican presidential ticket.

Washington Times says

a team of some 25 people poring through public records searching for trouble spots without her knowledge. Then came the 70-question survey and a nearly three-hour interview.

NYT may hope these things that have come out about Palin will hurt McCain, but they just don't understand how they help him, and how the Dems would be committing political suicide by raising them too much

.... their 17-year-old unmarried daughter, Bristol, was five months pregnant and that she intended to marry the father.

Gee, not only did not Palin not abort her Downs Syndrome baby. her pregnant daughter is going to keep the baby, and marry the father. And does the NYT think the Republican party will be upset about that?

Among other less attention-grabbing news of the day: it was learned that Ms. Palin now has a private lawyer in a legislative ethics investigation in Alaska into whether she abused her power in dismissing the state’s public safety commissioner;

Even if it was because he would not fire a violent thug who mistreated her sister and was a threat to her safety fired -- who cares?

that she was a member for two years in the 1990s of the Alaska Independence Party, which has at times sought a vote on whether the state should secede;

So she is for states rights. So what?

and that Mr. Palin was arrested 22 years ago on a drunken-driving charge.

And he learned his lesson.

and Jeralyn wonders What Day Will Sarah Palin Drop Out?

When will hell freeze over, and when will pigs learn to fly?
