Remember Dragnet? Good Old Joe Friday!!! Too bad he and Bill Gannon can't sit Sarah Palin down and stoically question her until they get the facts!Sarah Palin made a splash over the weekend as the keynote speaker at the first National Tea Party convention, and she followed up with an interview on Fox News Sunday. But she didn’t always stick to the facts.
- Palin implied that the Nigerian would-be Christmas Day bomber stopped talking after he was read his Miranda rights. He did, but not for good. He began talking again extensively after counterterrorism agents enlisted the help of his family, and he has provided information on all the subjects Palin mentioned, authorities say.
- Palin stretched the truth when she said that $6 million in stimulus funds went to a Democratic pollster. In fact, only $4.36 million was spent on the contract, which was with the giant public relations firm Burson-Marsteller, where the pollster is CEO.
- Palin repeated her oft-stated, greatly exaggerated claim that Alaska produces 20 percent of the U.S. domestic energy supply. The actual figure is just under 2.9 percent.
- Her claim that the state spent "millions" dealing with ethics complaints against her is one that has been disputed. Her own tally is less than $2 million, and an Anchorage newspaper said most of that was salaries of state workers who would have been paid whether or not Palin was being investigated.
Does she not KNOW people can check facts???? When she reads off her hand... I mean papers... I mean Teleprompter.... doesn't she know that people will take what she says and check to see if it's correct? This kind of behavior is called Delusional thinking...
If she's not Mentally ill.... then the alternative is far more frightening.
Roger Wilco over and out...
