It seems that no matter where you look, Palin is the top story. It's been over two weeks since McCain's pick for his VP and she has yet to go under the radar. With McCain's ratings boosting because of Palin, there's been more and more discussion about this little known Alaskan Governor. The main article in the Washington Post today was a huge laydown of some of the "bad blood" that Palin spilled when she was mayor of Wasilla (population 5,500). This article outlines her top achievement of her mayoral term as the construction and completion of an ice rink, "a project that landed in the courts and cost the city more than expected." But it didn't say anyt
hing else about this. No other details. Surely there was something more important than that, or is it just what the Washington Post wants you to think? They want you to believe, whether it is true or not, that Palin didn't do anything as the mayor of the small town or Wasilla and isn't qualified for the second highest office in our country. Even one of the city council members from Palin's term as mayor was interviewed to say that he was "worried about her lack of experience." Although, one thing about the article is that they interviewed another city council member from her term who gave her the thumbs up just because "executive experience is executive experience." I guess it makes no difference if it's for 5,500 or 305 million people? The article, which appeared on the Sunday front page edition, was an obvious lunge at Palin's political experience and slanted very far to the left. It's interesting to see what information the papers and media dig up on people like Palin who probably never thought that they would be in the limelight of such an intense presidential race. Whether the information is 100% true or not, the Post didn't give both sides to the story and just went in with a punch to the gut.
