Hi, Governor!

This is more of a forum issue than a campaign issue.

Apparently, Governor Palin takes an interest in online posts about her.

four months ago, a Wasilla blogger, Sherry Whitstine, who chronicles the governor’s career with an astringent eye, answered her phone to hear an assistant to the governor on the line, she said. “You should be ashamed!” Ivy Frye, the assistant, told her. “Stop blogging. Stop blogging right now!”

But it's not necessarily good to get the governor's attention.

Last summer State Representative John Harris, the Republican speaker of the House, picked up his phone and heard Mr. Palin’s voice. The governor’s husband sounded edgy. He said he was unhappy that Mr. Harris had hired John Bitney as his chief of staff, the speaker recalled. Mr. Bitney was a high school classmate of the Palins and had worked for Ms. Palin. But she fired Mr. Bitney after learning that he had fallen in love with another longtime friend.
“I understood from the call that Todd wasn’t happy with me hiring John and he’d like to see him not there,” Mr. Harris said.
“The Palin family gets upset at personal issues,” he added. “And at our level, they want to strike back.”

Valerie Plame would feel right at home with a Vice President Palin.

I was just reading that article. I can only shake my head.

And it's a NY Times article--not Enquirer.

The "polar bear coverup" and her obvious attempt to duck media interviews (and complain about the video editing in the one interview she consented to) make her sound an awful lot like George W. Bush with lipstick.

Change we can believe in? Or more of the same?

(I did notice that during her speeches she also used the word "nuke-you-lar.")

Re: Change we can believe in: from someone whose campaign is being run by K Street lobbyists? Are you serious?
