Yes, that lawyer she's hired to "assist" her with the case where she tried to get a cop fired is going to be very open and honest with everyone.

I suspect given her record that she hired the lawyer to allow her to be open and honost with everyone without giving up her rights as a citizen and the executive of her state.
Sometimes situations like this require a delicate balancing act to make sure all the relevant material is disclosed properly. Making mistakes in response to an investigation is often the real trouble that politicians get into. Look at Libby and Clinton. Both paid penalties for mistakes in response to an investigation...not the failed ultimate goal of the investigation.
I suspect firing the guy she did was within her discretion. Legally it then becomes the other fella's burdon to prove it was for an improper reason.

I wonder how many people who want to "lay off" the daughter because of "privacy" issues were the same ones who wanted to crucify Edwards and are now busy crucifying his wife?
The other thing that kept going thru my head... Supposedly, McCain slected Palin because of her "story", not necessarily because of her qualifications. Well, she isn't a 'story", she's a TV sitcom!

I was thinking the same thing... the whole political process is being reduced to fit the mold of a tv reality show - and sitcom is not far off.
So, given the inevitable, which would you rather see - Cindy, John and the Palins - with their brood (some grown beyond their years), not to mention Bristol's beau, Levi Johnston who posted the following on his MySpace page..."I'm a f - - -in' redneck" who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.
"But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- - - and just f - - -in' chillin' I guess."
"Ya f - - - with me I'll kick [your] ass," he added.
He also claims to be "in a relationship," but states, "I don't want kids."
nice kid...
Or, the Obama/Biden crew with those cute little girls and mature adult children..?
either way the next four years are up for grabs and i suspect that the most dysfunctional family wins.... it's just good for ratings...

Your comparing a man who cheated on his cancer-ridden wife and then lied about it while soliciting money and costing Hillary votes to the mother of a 17 year-old who is pregnant by her boyfriend and didn't hide it from anybody.
I'd call them apples and oranges...but its more like apples and something so unlike apples as to be silly to even think about it...apples and diet Pepsi commericials from the 1980's or apples and page 1,243 of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire or maybe apples and John Edwards' mansion's next door neighbor's lawnmower (not the current one, the one he had in 1982).
There is simply no comparison.
And a fair number of those wanting to make an issue of this girl's choices are the same folks who were fussing cause Edwards 'cost' Hillary the election. Republicans never really made a big deal outa Edwards...he was a non-issue to us by the time this broke. It was the same Democrats who have so little regard for the private affairs (pun...not intended) of anyone who is not bowing at their alters.
Leave the girl be says I.

Here's a quote from an email I received today. I have to admit that I was beginning to feel that McCains choice for VP might come back to bite him, but after reading the email I could only hang my head in agreement.
Quote:
But before everyone gets all smug and self-righteous about the Palin selection, remember where you live. You live in a nation of gun owners and hunters. You live in a country where one out of three girls get pregnant before they are 20. You live in a nation of C students. Knocking Bush for being a C student only endeared him to the nation of C students. Knock Palin for having kids, for having a kid who's having a baby, for anything that is part of her normalness -- a normalness that looks very familiar to so many millions of Americans -- well, you do this at your own peril. Assuming she's still on the ticket two weeks from now, she will be a much tougher opponent than anyone expects. You live in a country that voted for Dan Quayle.
there for a while i was hoping for a sane, rational and intelligent leader in the White House... but history keeps proving me wrong.

The sad truth is, they're going to rip thru the daughter to get to the mother.

"Your comparing a man who cheated on his cancer-ridden wife ..."
I know people are fond of repeating this, but it's not true. At the time Elizabeth Edwards was considered cancer-free and healthy.
And, you should hang your head and admit this as well - the right-wing pundits (are there any other kind ?) were going after Elizabeth Edwards - KNOWING she had incurable cancer, and even AFTER John Edwards was out of the race and it was no longer an issue - for keeping the affair secret.
Some family values you got there, bud.

Quote:I call it bullshit. Edwards made a mistake, but he 'fessed up to the only person who counts: his wife. And what about the ppl who are ripping Elizabeth? She's dying of cancer. If ppl can make excpetions for "a kid" (whose old enough to have a kid and marry) can't they give someone a break while they're dying for Chrissake? It seems to me that those who want to bring "character" and "values" into the equation should be held to the same yardstick that they hold others. But that would be too honest I guess.

Quote:I think PWT will find the Palins "just like them" and cluster around them. It'll be like watching a soap opera.
