Comedy is down the hall....

What "buyers guilt" are you talking about?

btw, we agree about the "double standards" at least.

Until now, I had no reason whatsoever to think that classicman and TheMercenary were the same person.

wtf?

You weren't referring to a joke in post #242?

Whoa there V - I'm not apologizing for anyone. I offered another "possible" scenario for their/her reaction relating to a prior post.
I still believe in what I posted. I do not "know" what happened nor does anyone else. I must say though - that I do not weigh the two situations equally.

Her response to the findings, in my opinion, is appalling and outright wha wha WHAT THE ____????

Quote:
"I'm very, very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing, any hint of any kind of unethical activity there," she told reporters.

Actually, the bipartisan report said just the opposite. It found that Mrs. Palin and her husband, Todd, repeatedly violated state ethics laws by browbeating subordinates to dismiss Trooper Michael Wooten, who had been involved in an ugly divorce with Mrs. Palin's sister, and by using state employees to score points in a family feud.

OJ was pleased to be cleared too. The first time, anyway.

classicman, I see your point about the quote you posted. To me, that is just a plain lie.

Trying to boldface lie her way out of her responsibilities. I don't want that. To me, it carries substantial weight because it is first hand. Her words. They're unambiguously wrong. Not taken out of context, not twisted, just flat wrong. And repeatedly so. Also, it's fresh. This is something that is happening now, current events, not something when she was in the second grade fact checking Biden's congressional record against his rhetoric. Also, it's a big damn deal as an indicator of what kind of action I can expect from her in similar circumstances in the future.

This is pretty damning.
