Please. That's another lie. That partisan witch hunt against Her Royal Ducebag Mooselini? Its run by republicans.
Here is an interesting twist on the McCain campaign's determined effort to shut down the investigation of Sarah Palin's abuses of power in what has come to be known as the "Troopergate" scandal.
The McCain camp has tried a number of moves since Palin's selection to close down the bipartisan inquiry -- which was approved by the state's Legislative Council but is being conducted by a respected former prosecutor -- into the governor's alleged wrongdoing. If Alaska was a typical state, this partisan move might have worked. But Alaska is a very small state where top Democrats and Republicans have traditions of working together -- especially on ethics inquiries.
So, even though Republicans dominate the legislature, the McCain camp has been rebuffed.
Now, McCain's aides have gotten a handful of legislators who are tied to the campaign to file a suit in Alaska's Superior Court demanding that the investigation be halted. The clear goal is to prevent the completion of what is likely to be a damning report regarding Palin's misdeeds before election day -- as was evident when McCain aides suddenly began appearing on national news shows, fully briefed and ready to cheer on the suit, just moments after Alaskans learned it was being initiated.

Gee, if she's done nothing wrong, what are they so afraid of??
The Council, which approved the Troopergate inquiry and is paying for it, is made up of 8 Republicans and 4 Democrats.
In other words, the McCain campaign's allies in Alaska are suing Republicans in order to protect Palin from a bipartisan inquiry.
Needless to say, the national McCain operatives who appeared on cable news shows to promote the suit failed to mention that detail.

Haven't they gone on and on lately about McCain supporting bipartisanship? ☺ Yeah, what a surprise.
