...I'm sorry you misunderstood the post, Kevin.<br /><br />As Craig Medred wrote, "Why Palin exaggerates and misleads like this, when the truth might be quite good enough, is hard to know. She doesn't answer questions from the media. She basically only talks to Fox News, which pays her. She doesn't get asked any tough questions by the Fox crowd, and her only other means of direct communication with the public at-large is via Facebook, a one-way street down which Palin can roll her "truth" to the masses."<br /><br />You're right that Palin could check the facts or say she doesn't know or doesn't remember; however, that isn't what she has done.<br /><br />That she BSes about her record doesn't imply that she's not a liar; it implies that she didn't do what "her record" says she did. She's got more than a lying problem here.<br /><br />Of course, she may have forgotten "her record," but that is a problem, too.Joie Vouethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728012555935899755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616743751559129574.post-78725403472189570652010-12-12T16:44:49.326-08:002010-12-12T16:44:49.326-08:00This comment appeared in the spam folder:

Wouldn't that explain why "her record" is at variance with what she says she did?<br /><br />No, it wouldn't explain it, since she could check the facts before announcing them, or say she doesn't know or doesn't remember if asked. As I commented on another blog, Palin appears to suffer from Mental Alternative Reality Syndrome (MARS), causing her to confuse her personal wishes with objective facts, a disorder that manifests as what is sometimes uncharitably called "lying."Joie Vouethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728012555935899755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616743751559129574.post-63529347429352236092010-12-12T08:34:18.637-08:002010-12-12T08:34:18.637-08:00I can stop blogging about Sarah Palin, now! :)I can stop blogging about Sarah Palin, now! :)Joie Vouethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728012555935899755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616743751559129574.post-21695029299856731792010-12-12T07:02:10.798-08:002010-12-12T07:02:10.798-08:00A governor has ceremonial and executive duties.

As for the executive duties, it may be that they can be delegated, but there is no excuse for a governor to be ignorant of what was done in his or her name.Joie Vouethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728012555935899755noreply@blogger.com
