Try not to laugh. Something else the Vet forgot to vet. "Another Incredible Allegation" — What The Enquirer Is Saying About Palin [Byron York] Concerning the allegations in the new National Enquirer of an extramarital affair involving Sarah Palin, I called the tabloid this afternoon and asked for a copy of the new story. They obliged, and here is the portion of the story dealing with the alleged affair: Another incredible allegation emerging from the family war is that Palin, a mother of five, had an affair with a former business associate of her fisherman husband, Todd. “Todd discovered the affair and quickly dissolved his friendship and his business associations with the guy,” charges an enemy. “Many people in Alaska are talking about the rumor and say Todd swept it under the rug.” And that's it, as far as the affair is concerned. In the brief cover story, the Enquirer also says this: The ugly family feud stems from a three-year battle between the 44-year-old governor and her former brother-in-law, state trooper Mike Wooten. “Sarah has many enemies in her hometown – but a lot of them are in her own extended family,” a source close to the Palin family told The Enquirer. Family members loyal to Wooten are now waging a campaign to drag Palin’s reputation through the mud. Message 24907590

Yeah, she's full of it about fiscal restraint. That much is clear. Between the Washington lobbyist for her small town and her initial support for the bridge to nowhere, and then using that money for other state projects, she is just misrepresenting herself to the public. I am okay with earmarks for one reason. It's the only way we can get sensible local spending out of Washington, which seems more interested in spending our money on Iraq. There are some stupid and wasteful projects, but the good ones also get funded via earmarks, and wouldn't get funded otherwise. We have a flood control project in my part of the country that would save billions in damanges and save lives and heartache if fully implemented. The only way we can get money out of the war machiners in Washington, DC is via earmarks. I realize earmarks are not the evil the Republicans portray them as. It is our only way of getting money from the Federal government where it can make a difference at the state and local level.
