Palin learned some tricks from Cheney
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will not cooperate with a 'tainted' legislative investigation into the firing of her public safety commissioner.
Sounds like she's learned a thing or two from Dick Cheney and his aversion to cooperating with investigations.
From The Associated Press
"The whole White House strategy for protecting Cheney has been to refuse to answer any questions on Halliburton. For Bush to clear him from the podium blows that cover," she said. "And what kind of message does it send to the SEC when the president of the United States says, in effect, there is nothing to investigate?"
From Senate Democratic Policy Committee:
Vice President Cheney's Energy Task Force is compromised by corporate special interests, White House refuses to release documents or records from the Task Force and refuses to cooperate with GAO investigation.
From Newsweek:
Among the documents that Waxman had subpoenaed—which the White House also refused to turn over Wednesday—were notes taken by then deputy national-security adviser Stephen Hadley about conversations he had with Cheney and other White House officials during the course of the probe.
Say it with me now, McCain and Palin: More of the Same!
Palin's people are whining that the Obama campaign is making the investigators probe her. Whaa whaa. Why, because she's a woman? This investigation was going on before she was picked to be McCain's running mate. Next they'll try to argue that the investigation compromises national security.
