Troopergate Redux

Why are we even discussing this?  It all seems like picking on the homely kid, gone mad.  Why is this country even discussing this matter at this time?  I have a thought, because our electoral process and our republic as constituted has failed.   The 'Troopergate' findings were readily foreseeable, this isn't the result of a political witch hunt.  Palin trods the same road as many before her and surely those who will follow.  It is not about ideology, it is about power, personal and sloppily utilized.

Interestingly, the Obama campaign has remained reticent, almost passive regarding the report.  Prudently so, me thinks, as the facts speak loudly.  Remember, the Governor, wisely, hasn't spoken under oath as to her involvement or non-involvement of the matters at issue.  Perhaps her silence allows her another opportunity in the arena, but it seems almost certain that the her designation as VP candidate will not go unrewarded.  The choice of Sarah Palin as VP of the Republican ticket ranks among the dumbest decisions made by a major party in the last 150 years. 

Scott Schmidt is a clown, I wish him no future work in his chosen profession.  His actions reflect an absolute disdain for the American electorate.  Schmidt's recklessness and hubris unfortunately has brought shame upon a genuine patriot, John McCain and the Republican party.  In doing so, Mr. Schmidt and his acolytes have done all Americans a terrible disservice.
