…That would have been caught if she'd actually been vetted, (which McCain, trying on his new persona as straight-up liar, claims he did). These are listed in a "Vetting Roundup" over at DailyKos. There's more where this came from:
# She was involved in yet another ethical scandal, this time relating to her firing of a longtime local police chief, who "says he was fired because he stepped on the toes of Palin's campaign contributors, including bar owners and the National Rifle Association."
# Although the McCain campaign has stressed her command of the Alaska National Guard as "experience," she never issued a single order. Watch CNN's Campbell Brown call McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds out on his spin on this and more here.
I guess we don't have to ask why John McCain is so nervous about the media looking into this stuff.
