Contrary to Bonnie Goldstein's false and unsupported accusation at Slate.com, Gov. Palin has never "admitted publicly" that any communications with Monegan were intended to "urge Wooten's firing"
Topics: Political News and commentariesThe title's long but the point of this post is short, simple, and straight forward: Slate's Bonnie Goldstein outright lied in an article entitled Todd to Juneau: Drop Dead":
Since July, the Alaska Senate Judiciary Committee has been looking into whether Gov. Sarah Palin fired Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan because he refused to fire her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper named Mike Wooten. (Wooten's marriage to Palin's sister, Molly McCann, ended in an ugly divorce.) Two weeks before John McCain declared Palin his running mate, Palin admitted publicly that her husband, Todd, and members of Palin's staff had contacted Monegan and other public-safety officials about two dozen times to urge Wooten's firing.As Bill Dyer explains at Hugh Hewitt, the final sentence -- about the purported "public admission" as to the intention of anyone "to urge Wooten's firing" -- is thoroughly objectionable and is not true.
Little wonder that an overwhelming majority of the American public believe that the media is liberall and in the tank for Obama, and against McCain-Palin.
