Guilty!

Sounds like she is running!! She is running from the troopergate investigation as well as answering questions from media and town halls. How can this be in an political campaign ? this goes to show that McCain judgement is flawed. who picks a flawed candidate and markets them as a reformer??

It simply means she and the mccain campaign have something to hide, sound familiar? The straight talk express my eye. You can put lipstick and make-up on a pig and it still stinks.

jack, it means she got something to do with it, and she is afraid that she may get caught by contradicting herself in some of the questions. obviously, she will try to let this issue get postponed till after the election.

It has always been my contention, “if you have nothing to hide bring it out into the open”. Obviously Governor Palin, one would assume, has something to hide. Candidates records should be open to everyone and if there is a chance that the Governor overstepped her authority for personal reasons we need to know.

It means that she knows she is guilty! First her staff were going to go to court to avoid testifying, now she wants to refuse to cooperate! What will she do if they subpoena her? From all reports cronyism and vengance were her trademarks, so much for reaching across the aisle! It exemplifies rhe poor judgement McCain exhibits time after time, starting with his decision to remain a POW rather than accept release for medical reasons. That decision gave the N. viets time to break him and allowed him to make anti american propaganda for them.

Cameron, MO

Jack, it means that it is great to be the whistle blower as long as you never have the whistle blown on you.

If she fails to cooperate then she is guilty and a typical politician that can’t take responsibility.

If you are her supporter…it means she’s avoiding the liberal investigators, liberal press, liberal citizens, liberal….

If you are not her supporter…it means she has something to hide.

“SOMETHING STINKS IN THE STATE OF ALASKA UNDER SARAH PALAIN’S DESK” !!! –MAYBE AN OLD BURREID MOOSE—

It means she thinks it’s OK to follow the examples of Rove, Cheney and Bush and show no respect for the Constitution of the United States.

Kind of the way the rest of the World shows no respect to them.

Another unaccountable pious executive is nothing new!!!

Hi Jack;

What it means is she has something to hide.

Off topic-When Paylin/McCain lie how can they call themselves christians?

Oh I forgot their republicans.

When McCain says he will go to the gates of hell to get Osama, how many of your young people is he willing to sacrafice?

It means that she is just like the folks we are trying to get rid of. Hiding stuff BEFORE the election….not good. Shows what would happened if THEY got in office. Didn’t Bush/Cheney, et. al, behave the same way? Glad you’re back Jack, Sorry about your loss .

It means that we have more of the McSame Republican arrogance – people who think they are above the law and are subject to no rules, regulations or standards of conduct – let alone any moral or ethical values. Four more years people. Wasn’t the last eight enough. Twelve years of McBush will destroy your country if you can’t see that you deserve what you get. Unfortunately I, and the other reasonably intelligent people who’s eyes are open will be dragged down with you.

It means that she thinks that she is above the law and does not have to answer to anyone for anything. By not cooperating proves that she has something to hide. The National Enquire has released many secrets that Sassy Sarah is hiding. Remember - the Enquire is the paper that proved OJ owned those Bruno shoes with a picture. Let them dig into Sarah for a while. In her interview with Charlie Gibson she appeared cocky. She will dig her own grave,just give her time.

Generally, when someone refuses to cooperate, they have something to hide, or are just plain guilty. I just don’t trust this one (Palin that is), Jack. I’ve been on board with Obama before he announced he was running for President. I still am. Somthin’s gotta give!!!

I have heard very little substantive about Sarah Palin. What I have heard is that she is a reformer who makes government accountable and is not afraid to take on unethical politicians. It seems strange that she is not afraid to be the conducter on the “Get rid of Unethical Politicians” train as it rolls over others but she does her best to derail investigations into her personal ethics. Her refusal to cooperate means she believes the rules are different for her.

It means voting for McCain/Palin is a vote for more of the same. Haven’t we had enough of leaders who believe they are above the law? Since she won’t cooperate, you know darn well she’s hiding something.

Generally, when someone refuses to cooperate, they have something to hide, or are just plain guilty. I just don’t trust this one (Palin that is), Jack. I’ve been on board with Obama before he announced he was running for President. I still am. Somthin’s gotta give!!!

I confident there r lot to learn about the case which will clearly dispaly who the American ppl are willing to entrust their future with….

Ola Adegoke

Jack, if Palin has nothing to hide she would be fully cooperating with the investigation……she along with the Mc Cain campaign bigwigs are using all their power to keep the investigation at a stand still so the American voting public won’t know the error in judgment she made…and if she didn’t do it i refer back to my opening line.

By the way I couldnt care one way or another, and I really don’t think the American public cares either, because the majority of them are not voting for her either just like i’m not.

It doesn’t show me anything that I didn’t already know. This woman is willing to do and say anything to get her ticket elected. She has lied repeatedly about the bridge to nowhere and the McCain campaign has made a habit of lying in their ads. It is no suprise that Palin lied to the investigators when she said that she would be willing to meet with them regarding troopergate.

It means she is listening to her new advisors and trying not to step in it any deeper than she already has. It has a negative image, but an unguarded comment could mean disaster for McCain. This will be interesting to watch play out.

Jack,
It simply means that all of this Palin talk about being a “reformer” and someone who will bring “real change” to Washington is all just TALK. Not cooperating in this investigation means that Sarah Palin is a fast learner and has already learned from the current Administration that once in office they are above the law. Am I the only one who is just sick and tired of being lied to and taken advantage of by those who have been elected to serve us?!

Seems to me that if you really had nothing to hide, you would cooperate to the fullest. Jack, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and taste good with olub sauce…….chances are IT”S A DUCK!! Wait and see, it will come out!!

It’s an amazing flip-flop that Palin once “welcomed the investigation” and now that the pressure is on, she refuses to cooperate. It is sheer arrogance on Palin’s part to think she can hide behind the McCain campaign and expect to be exonerated for gross ethical violations simply because she is the VP nominee. When you refuse to cooperate in an investigation only after first supporting it means she knows an ethical violation occurred and won’t take responsibility for her actions.

Well Jack, it means that the GOP will do or say anything to win this election.Is a majority of the American voting public fooled by the endless stream of lies and half-truths that we’ve been witnessing as of late?
If so, we’ve got bigger problems than the McPanderer/Palin could possibly bring. I’m starting to feel like I’m trapped in the movie “Idiocracy”.

Hi Jack. Welcome back.

It means quite simply that Palin is not a law-and-order-type of person. It is okay for her to abuse power, but not okay for those in Washington or elsewhere to do the same. However, once she arrives in Washington, should she win, then it will suddenly be okay there, too.

Palin will become part of the problem that is pervasive among those in power. She will be as corrupt as the rest.

We need to call her out on this! Stop treating Palin with so much sympathy out of fear of being sexist. She wanted to be in the game. Now that she’d in it, she can expect the same scrutiny as everyone else.

Jack, I am so glad you are back. We need someone to stand up for the American people. Palin won’t cooperate because she has something to hide and she is LYING again. Everyday she is caught
in another lie. Obama has never lied in his campaign.

She is guilty. If not, why would she not co-operate and clear her name?.
Maybe, she is afraid that one more lie will be added to all the other lies that she has been telling recently on the campaign trail .

Sends the wrong message, Jack. She should just cooperate to show that she can handle the partisan fighting that she’ll have to endure at the top.

Considering that a week ago she was going to cooperate fully with the investigation in Alaska, and now she isn’ t, that would make her a flip-flopper with something to hide.

It means that she fired her public safety commissioner because he did not fire her brother -in-law. Palin’s refusing to cooperate is hurting no one but herself. If she has nothing to hide or if she feels she did nothing wrong she should cooperate. If the McCain-Palin ticket becomes so lucky as to win the Presidency and Vice Presidency history will have been made for the oldest president, the first woman vice president and the impeachment of a vice president. Can you impeach a vice president?

This is simple… it means that she’s scared out of her lipstick that we will find something she did that was unethical.

Jack, It means that she is as guilty as sin… if she does not have anything to hide… then whats the big deal…. you know they say a hit dog will holler.!

It means that, this so called moose hunter is actually a coward!

Palin not cooperating shows her guilt but mainly that Republicans would continue to break the law while being dismissive of law enforcement.

Jack; why on earth if you are innocent wouldn’t you cooperate, especially if you are a governor? What it appears is that there is more to the story than meets the eye. It means that perhaps if the whole story comes out, Mrs palin will not be as likeable especially to her base. It may mean that McCain’s judgement will appear defective. Both have admitted that he truelly only picked her as a political stunt to win.

Well Jack, it means that the GOP will do or say anything to win this election.Is a majority of the American voting public fooled by the endless stream of lies and half-truths that we’ve been witnessing as of late?
If so, we’ve got bigger problems than the McPanderer/Palin could possibly bring. I’m starting to feel like I’m trapped in the movie “Idiocracy”.
McCain/Palin, they’ve got electrolytes

Hi Jack- It means that she should not be allowed to be anywhere near the White House, not even as a visitor.

Bobby Orr of the Boston Bruins was the greatest hockey player of all time. He made everyone else look as if they were standing still. I like hockey. What was the question?

It means she learns well like pit bulls. She is continuing the replublican saga and games. Rove, Bush, McCain and the likes have found a woman just like them with lipstick or she has something to hide as all of the above-mentioned.
Same ‘ol, same ‘old.

It means that she thinks that she is above the law. Palin admits that she had her husband call the safety commissioner to complain about her sister’s husband. Palin should have filed a police report if she was really concerned. And by not using the legal system to try to resolve this so called problem, she looks guilty of abusing her power by trying to resolve this so called problem by having her husband and staff attempt to intimidate the commissioner.

This blows her transpaency claim right out of the water! This investigation began in July, and now McCain and company is blaming Obama backers. How stupid. Her credibility is zip, nada, nothing! When she interviewed with Cahrles gibson, she welcomed, now McCain and Company are trying to cover up their obviously flawed pick!

it means that she certainly is dishonest about this investigation and makes one wonder what else she is hiding….she was never properly vetted and McCain certainly is NOT forthcoming about anything..

Its simple Jack. She is being told what to do and say and the strategy is to delay the investigation until after the election. In the meantime, the republicans can just keep telling everyone to stop picking on their poor female candidate.
Jack, do you think they can use that same line when she is President and negotiating with the Russians???

jack, It means she wants to do everything possible to delay this investigation until after the election. By refusing to cooperate and accusing “Obama operatives” of hijacking the proceeding she can elay and deny until after november when we will all find out the real truth.

plain and simple, if ms palin is innocent of any charges against her then she should jump at the chance to clear her name.

Palin won’t cooperate with an investigation? Sounds just like the Bush administration, doesn’t it.

It just means the Bush/Cheney/Rove/McCain team are bringing her along in their own image. When you are a Republican you are above the ordinary people and most of all above the law. Have you not learned anything over the past 8 years Jack?

Jack,
I can’t imagine why, unless of course, they are worried that a political corruption indictment might actually wake up the evangelical crowd that has been in a collective swoon since she was enthroned in the VP spot. I suspect it is the same reason that her finances aren’t ready for release yet. Finding out that she is way better off than
the backyard barbeque crowd could open some eyes.

She has something to hide, that is a stock answer from a corrupt politician. Do I want McCain to answer the phone at 3AM and give instructions, and than call back at 4AM and say “That is not what I meant to say. The whole situation is laughable
Tony

It means she’s got something to hide. It also means that the McCain
“Reform” slogan touting transparency is utter bunk.

hi jack, well lets see i guess obama has another way to compare mcain/ palin to bush, were have we seen this before. to claim that the obama campaign is tainting the ivestigation is ridiculous.

Jack: Very sorry for the loss of your wonderful wife. Glad to have you back. You are the only voice of reason. Sarah Palin must have something to hide. Otherwise, why not just cooperate?

Excuses Jack… Straight up BS Excuses.

Have you heard?

Milli Vanilli’s back… Posed as McCain & Palin!

Milli Vanilli Act II

Blame it on the Rain… They’ve blamed everything else… Why not!

she is hidding something.

The McCain camp is at it again, using this as a distraction. Yesterday afternoon when McCain said our economy is “fundamentally strong” and got slammed by the media for saying it, and some even compared him to Hoover, then by last night, the McCain campaign releases that “Palin will not cooperate with troopergate”…DISTRACTION from McCain’s blunder in the afternoon.

McCain can’t win on the issues so he will try to win through “distraction and lies”.

she’s Dick Cheney with lipstick BUT without the experience.

she’s “Stonewall Sarah”

Jack,
Me thinks tha she is not a transparent as she thinks she is. At first I gave her troopergate. The interview with the guy pointed out everal reasons why this idiot did not need a nadge. Tasering your stepson just because he wanted to try it out? PLEASE. Now since she is refusing to cooperate with the investigation it is making me wonder all the more. Also why is she hiding from hte press. I mean she is acting like she is Britney Spears or something. Shouldn’t she be talking to yall so the country can get to know her?

Nothing. Don’t get your hopes up on this. People will understand it as a family squabble and that will be all.

Palin is the rock star now and swing voters will flock to the Rep ticket. She came along just at the right moment for McCain, as Obama’s newness and celebrity fades, and now he can’t close the deal. Perhaps now you understand how many of us felt when the hysteria was all about Sen. Obama?

Jack, at least she is consistent. Everything she says is the opposite what she does. Remember jack, she is a women and she has the right to do that. Watch out for sexism!

I think that Biden had it correct when he called McCain-Palin a bad sequel to a horror movie! The only error is that Palin is trying to take over the starring role as she has more in common with Bush than McCain…which is a truly scary proposition!!!

Jack, I’d suggest it is because she wants to delay this thing until after the election since it would appear that there could be some truth behind the rumors. Unfortunately this refusal will cause a brighter light to shine on this in the meantime. She should have quietly just kept saying she would fully cooperate. This refusal could turn out to be a larger problem then if she had just cooperated.

It means that she is a Republican. They have long history of stonewalling from Richard Nixon right up through Karl Rove. She welcomed the investigation before she was picked as McCains running mate. She won’t sit for interviews or hold a press conference either. All of this makes me wonder…What does she have to hide??

HMMMM - Reminds me of Bush, Cheney, Rove, Libby and Gonzalez., etc., etc., etc No wonder the “Republican base” loves her!

It’s more of the same Bush-Cheney refusal to cooperate. She tells a good story about being a reformer but she doesn’t walk the talk.

It’s one warning signal among many. When Governor Palin’s aides are not allowed to testify in “Troopergate” or speak to the media, when Governor Palin’s appointments to important and high paying positions in the State of Alaska reads reads like a Who’s Who from her high school class vs. a Who’s Who of the most qualified candidates, when she is the only 1 of the 4 Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees who is delaying release of her tax records, and when she continues to espouse she’s against earmarks when she’s accepted $200 million in them, then those who choose to vote for her are deserving of the second coming of George W. Bush.

hi jack
it means she has alot to hide,maybe even a bridge to no where,the GOP never what to face up to their mistakes,just look at the ring leaders Bush and Chenney,she belongs with the good old boy.you see shr threw her husband under the bus already.
clearwater,fl

Hey jack, did you hear the news about sarah palin today, get this, a 600 million dollar bridge that she is supporting to build in alaska near her hometown. She said “thanks, but no thanks to the bridge to no where”, but then supports and even more expensive bridge now…when is someone going to give her a reality check

california

Jack,

It means that she knows that she will be exposed to either redicule for her immature behavior if she tells the truth or to being revealed as a liar if she doesn’t tell the truth. I strongly recommend that she continue with the sleazy instructions that Rove has given her and stonewall, stonewall and stonewall! Remenber the adage, ” It is better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to speak and confirm it”.

Straight talk express my a@##*. She is as guilty as hell.
What is she planning to do in washington?

Jack, I believe in the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. But I also believe that if you are innocent, you should have nothing to hide. When an elected official, be it a small town mayor or the president of the United States, starts hiding and deflecting, that leads me to believe that “where’s there’s smoke there’s fire”.

She stated that she would cooperate a few days ago only to rescind that offer blaming Obama’s campaign despite the fact the investigation started long before she was part of the campaign. Blaming, cover-ups, and non-transparency lead me to believe that she is hiding something.

I am not a political pundit, but I am a thinker (thanks Glenn Beck)…

Usually it means you have something to hide. She may have been able to get away a few shenanigans in a low-focus investigation in Alaska. Now that it’s been brought to the national attention, slipping out of it won’t be that easy. So, it certainly makes the whole situation look much more suspicious.

It means that even before the election she is playing by the republican rules, she must have studied Cheney 101. Why would anyone vote for a candidate that has not been vetted, Obama has been vetted for the last 18 months, they have tried to find skeletons in his cupboard, have invented skeletons & he has not whined once.

It means something is rotten in Anchorage, and I don’t think it’s the salmon! If there’s nothing to hide whats the problem? If Monegan was ill equipted to be the public safety commish, why was he offered to head up the state liquor authority?

“tainted investigation” “refuse to cooperate”

Sounds like four more years………….

Well, Jack, it just means that she is following in the
steps of her mentors.
Transparency? Only when it is convenient.

It means she is a Republican! It is very Karl Rovian.

It means that her popularity among non-evangelical christians will, not just fade, but diminish rapidly. Its the trust factor Jack.

It seems she can get away with not answering questions, taking inverviews..whatever..why and how can the Rebulican party keep a candiate from the media and the voters…Seems if you are running for office, one should be available at all times…..don’t figure.

It’s more of the same Bush-Cheney refusal to cooperate. She tells a good story about being a reformer but she doesn’t walk the talk.

Pliny,
Palin is in a no-win situation. If she cooperates with a politically biased investigation it will be used as a weapon against her. If she doesn’t cooperate then she looks as if she has misconduct to hide. The secrecy surrounding Obama’s time in Chicago with people like Ayres creates the same sort of bad smell. In the end I don’t think it will matter for either candidate because people have become so jaded about corrupt politicians.

Pliny

Dear Jack,

It means the Cheney mentality is alive and well. Just the thought of another four, even eight years of this foolishness puts me off my feed!

Steve

PS, my favorite CNN.com headline of the day: “Bush lands in Texas; Residents urged to leave” At least *that* was a good laugh.

We can only guess can we? But my guess is ugly…..
Susana, Halifax

It means McCains campaign team is willing to do or say (”will not cooperate as long as the investigation “remains tainted.”) just about anything to make Obama, his campaign team and any of his supporters (campaign insists the investigation has been hijacked by Democrats) look just as ridiculous as they do.

Duhhhh! She knows that she is guilty of abusing her power as governor for personal reasons! The more that is uncovered about this woman, the more frightening she appears. She, obviously, does not permit anyone to stand in the way of her “succession up the ladder”. Really interested in “reforming” the government? Yeah, right!!

Well, if the current trend in the polls is any indication, it means another four years of Bush-style government based on secrecy & paranoia.

It means she is guilty as sin……simple as that……she fits right in with John McCain and this administration…..LIARS…..

Jack, it means that Sarah Palin is doing what the Republicans are
notorious for: Hiding Something. But she is not acting alone. The
republicans behind the curtain are pulling her strings. Jack, Sarah
Palin reminds me of a cult follower. The only thing missing are a
basket of flowers and a pair of Birkenstocks.

Festus

It means that she has something to hide.

It also means that with her not cooperating with Investigations and also with the secrecy she surrounds herself and family with….we are seeing more and more that she (like McCain) are looking more and more like George “W” Bush.

Let the voter’s beware.

It means we shouldn’t ask her any tough questions that might suggest that she isn’t who she advertizes herself as because that would just be the elite liberal media being sexist and promoting the liberal agenda which apparently includes wanting to loose in Iraq, passing out abortions to all who apply, and having the gaul to suggest that McCain being a former POW doesn’t qualify him for the highest office in the land. Seriously Jack just give it up. At this point you could point out that Palin was Caucasian and you’d be called a rascist.

It means guilty. Something to hide. More revelations of misdeeds to come. She is not squeaky clean. She is just another politican with a great deal of baggage accumulated in a short history in politics. It means you can fool some of the people all of the time. I rest my case.

If she has nothing to hide, she should answer the questions. So not cooperating says to me she played a large part in troopergate. And it’s quite simply a stall so that nothing comes out before the election. Just part of the McCain campaign strategy to sequester Palin as much as possible from the press and anyone else who will ask her the tough questions. Quite frankly, it’s an embarrassment that Palin was even chosen and nominated as the Republican VP. And how anyone can argue she is qualified is beyond me. God help us all if McCain gets elected and something happens to him and she becomes president.

Welp if you ask me, sounds like she has something to hide…

I just wish McCain’s group had done a little more research before choosing her. What does it mean? It means that she must have something to hide afterall and is using the excuse that Democrats have tainted the investigation. Remember, this all started BEFORE she was nominated. It appears she is just another “do as I say not as I do” Republican. Why doesn’t she get Tina to go in her place? She’s a much better actress.

She’s as guilty as the little boy who stole a cookie from the cookie jar and won’t cooperate because she’s afraid the truth will come out before Nov. 4th.

It simply means she is stonewalling …She obviously has something to hide and the McCain mafia are sheltering her for fear the gine will get out of the bottle before november 4,,,,,It seems our 2008 elections has turned into a circus thanks to the gullible voters who go for lies.

Jack, to me it means that Palin is more akin to the Bush Administration than to John McCain. The audacity of not cooperating is the same as the abuse of executive privilege we have seen for the past 7 years.

It basically means Bush-Cheney part 2. Hasn’t America had enough of this type of government.

Jack, it simply means that she has something to hide! Someone who has done nothing wrong will talk to everyone and anyone to clear their name! Am I the only one smelling a …….rat?

tampa, fl. like all of the rest of our politicians, she is above the law and will not be held accountable for anything. and our politicians wonder why we independent voters are just plain fed up with this garbage. i demand that none of the above be placed on all ballots and whenever anyones approval rating goes under 30% an automatic recall should be mandated. i can divorce my wife if her approval rating goes to less than 30% so why not my congressmen or president as well?

I have an idea. If Gov. Palin continues to be uncooperative into this investigation, arrest her and put her in jail. It seems as if she has something to hide. It is tragic that so many people in this country have been blinded to the fact that McCain pulled the wool over many American citizens’ eyes. The man is incompetent, clueless, and rapidly approaching senility when it comes to his views on running this country if he is elected. The man is George Bush, the second. This country is trillions of dollars in debt. To cover up the warts in his personna, McCain chooses a virtual unknown in Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Millions of women in this country, apparently clueless to be blunt, have fawned over Sarah Palin. They see this woman who has had five children, the last of whom suffers from Down’s Syndrome, and who very much is the “Working Mom”. Women power! Hello, people. Grow a brain stem! Are you all blind as to see that McCain would be an utter disaster as our President? Sarah Palin, also, would be equally incompetent to be the second in command, and a heartbeat away from being Commander in Chief. If she were to become President, what is she going to do, appoint all of her former Alaska high school classmates to important cabinet positions, (similar to what she has done as governor)?
The country made a monumental mistake in re-electing Bush to serve 4 more years in office back in ‘04. The country has plunged into further economic chaos. Are we plain ignorant enough to repeat our mistakes, and elect the McCain-Palin ticket to head this country in the fall? If so, we have no one to blame but OURSELVES for our own stupidity! Wake up, America!

That she is a typical republican, that she is hiding something and that her promise to Gibson that she will cooperate is a lie which she has shown she excels at.

Hi Jack:

She has something to HIDE!!

Ron San Diego

Gov Palin repeatedly said she is for Ethics reform. If this is the truth, and not just a stump speech she should order ALL Government Employees in Alaska to help the bipartisan commission get to the bottom of this issue. If she has nothing to hide then why hide the facts from the American People?

It means that like McCain, Palin is controlled by Republican machine and has to do what she is told.

Jack,
It means the McCain machine has advised her to stonewall it, hoping that the election occurs before anything harmful comes to light. See how reform-minded the McCain/Palin ticket really is? Nixon must be smiling down on them.

It shows something is rotten in the state of Denmark, Jack. If she is truly innocent and has nothing to do with the firing, she should proudly come forward and cooperate. She should use this to her advantage; she has been wrongly accused and shall be victorious. But instead she is running as far away as she can from the situation. Not very pit bull-like.

Jack it clearly means that she has something to hide, but given the current administration, she would fit right in, in Washington ….

Obama what can you do to improve the economic today even you don’t understand what does it mean. 85.70% of black stay at home don’t want go to work how can they open there mind to deal with the business, more crime everyday what Obama can do to be safe for American. just say no to vote for obama enough to say because you’re black.

It looks like a combination of arrogance, self-righteousness, evasiveness, and possibly fear - none of which are desirable qualities in a potential vice president.

It means exactly what we have been seeing all along: If she cannot cannot control who wins the game, she doesn’t want to play. Thank God that the rest of America is not isolated from mainstream U.S. the way Alaska is, and that people are waking up to the inescapable fact that the shiny gloss of the Propaganda Empress is starting to smell and look like slime.

It means Alberto Gonzalez has found a job as a lawyer in Alaska. Palin is not going to plead the 5th. She’s simply going to say she can’t remember, she doesn’t know anything about anything, and anyone who has ever worked for her has executive privilege.

It’s obvious she’s done something wrong.

It means that there are two standards in this country and i am not on the side that gets to say no to anyone in the system without a beatdown and a trip to jail. It is so sad to hear the words of someone running for office and see ther action i would think that she would want this over and out of the way and not have to answer to it ever again oops their i go again beliving a politican.

What it means Jack, is that the Mccain camp Wants to avoid any public scrutiny of Sarah Palin seeing as how they failed to properly Vet her in the first place.

what does it mean? i am not sure there is enough time on your show this afternoon to contemplate the ramifications of this action.

For starters it clearly shows she has learned her lessons well from Bush/Cheney/Rove debacle; and the same can be said for McCain and his cronies. how ludicrous to claim the investigation is tainted.

so much for the term transparent and open.

It boggles one’s mind to think that this mind-set is apt to be a heartbeat from the presidency. makes one truly wonder what else there is in hiding.

It means a third term for Bush. How many subpoenas have the Bush administration thrown in the garbage. They shredded the Geneva Conventions, blew a hole through Habeas Corpus and started a war with a country that did not attack us, based on lies a cooked intelligence.
It means that a McCain/Palin administration would break the law when it suits their purpose.

Welcome back Jack,
It means that she is not the proposed fresh new face riding to the rescue of the American people. It means she is a good old girl who has all the qualifications and experience of the same old Washington politics as usual, protect myself ethics. If she had nothing to hide she would cooperate with the investigation. It did not take long for the so called reformer to do an about face and say I am special the rules do not apply to me. More of the same old crap we have been exposed to for far to long.

In Europe Palin is no star - she has absolutely no credentials. Picture Palin confronting Putin - unimaginable!

First - welcome back Jack! Second - it means she’s guilty!

It means that the allegations of the Public Safety Commissioner,and those of the State Trooper, MAY be correct, so how can the American public even think of voting for her and McSame, when that question is left hanging. Usually when some one refuses to co-operate in a case like this they have something to hide. It is shameful in the world view to think that any of the American voters would let her get away with this

(one of the 49% non Americans that favour Obama)

Well it means she, like most fake and phony republicans of her “ilk”, is guilty as the devils dog! ALL these flag wavin’, family values shoutin’, gun totin’ republicans proclaim to have a lock on being the ONLY real Americans . . . yet it turns out they are often the most corrupt and depraved group this country has to offer. She’s a fraud Jack and it’s about to crumble.

Hey Jack,
You are refreshingly honest with us, the TV viewer and we are responsive to this connection.
Glad that you are back my friend!
It simply means that Palin is just another non-transparent political crook. Another Republican hack with “High Heels” is no different than the old white haired man claiming change, when in fact he and his Croonies (Phil Gramm, Bush, Cheney) are responsible for the economic misery the Country now faces because of Wall Street Greed. Remember Bush’s plan was to gamble your retirement in the stock market? Wholey Crap!

Means that she have something to hide, no doubt. She shows no integrity at all . She lies after lies after lies, Why is she also hiding behind curtain…campaign’s plane . Why the press is put aside is she so precious . or just a fake .Means also that McCain has no judgment. McCain pick Palin for her look,thinking that peoples are stupid enough to eat that kind of bread, and butter

hi Jack
Palin is a Liar, plain and simple she has a lot to hide. You guys in the press should know this, she wont even speak to you. McCain is truly showing his age and possible insanity by picking a right wing whacko.

She said she has nothing to hide, then she wont cooperate, Jack this smacks of Dick the last throes Cheaney. Republicans what is wrong with you people. How far must our great nation fall. Vote reality, not ambiguity.

Jack, at this point, I don’t think we know what it means. One should get the facts before one reaches a conclusion. Sonoma, CA

Jack
if it doesn’t fit you must aquit, oh thats another one on trial again. means she is just saying or doing anything like OJ to stay out of trouble. and look what happening to him right now he is back on trial. smells like agnew to me and look what happened to him.

For the same reason Rove, Cheney, and anyone remotely connected to them will not honor congressional subpoena’s. The same reason Nixon would not cooperate with the Watergate investigators. The same reason Bush would not produce, and in fact destroyed his Air National Guard records. Laws are for suckers like us. They don’t really apply to Republicans in power. Anyone who thinks they should answer for their misdeeds is obviously partisan. And in the case of Palin, probably sexist, too.

Well what else can it mean??? Her handlers know she has something to hide, so let’s all blame the Democrats…so what if the facts are that the Republicans are the majority who opened the investigation.

Jack
Very simple Sarah Palin knows she was wrong and is trying to delay this as long as she can hoping it goes past the election.

It means that she has told so many lines and has been busy cramming the policies- she doesn’t really know if she got the guy fired or not! Poor thing.

That’s simple Jack. Who has time to cooperate with a legislative investigation when you’re rewriting the Bush Doctrine?

Angel - Charlotte, NC

Won’t cooperate with the investigation, turns out ‘The Bridge To Nowhere’ was killed in Washington, but the Governor snatch the body parts to be used across Alaska and thought no one would follow-up, add the trip to Iraq that was really a border stop, and yes! the view of Russia from Alaska as the core of her foreign policy experise….give me a break. This is the biggest politcal sham foisted on a people for a generation.

Stonewalling just like the Bush Administration has done in its countless scandals, will someone talk about the similarities between the way she would govern compared to Bush, more of the same is not just a phrase but a fact.

She has also hindered investigations, supports a war without any waver, hires people in her administration from a friends list like Gonzalez and Fema Gate, she supports the same right wing neo conservative values as Bush and McCain, she does not work with democrats instead uses divisive politics and has the same experience that Bush had going into the election.

She won’t answer questions from the media, instead she spins and uses newspeack in describing her policies, Bush policies, and Democrat policies.

When she answers questions, you get the feeling that she does not know what she is talking about, instead uses 2 or 3 common lines for all the issues we face as a problem. She thinks solutions that work in Alaska will solve a coming depression in the whole nation, and solve international global conflicts.

It sounds to me like a premature, mini, “executive privilege”
order from John McCain, and that should wake people up!
Blaming Democrats for this crass decision just doesn’t hold
water. They were looking into this possible/probable abuse
of power before she was selected. I am so exhausted with
Bush tactics, yet, I fear, here we go again.
PS. WELCOME BACK, JACK!

jack, love having you back, my prayers are with you.. there has got to be a problem with this women not talking to anyone!!!!!! how can MCSAME expect the people to agree with everything he stands for if she will not talk to the press???? jack the scarey thought is is alot of people do think she is the best thing since peanut butter!!!!! this is a women thats a heart beat away from the presidentcy!!!!! and all the lies she and he spew all over the air waves, he just does care how he wins at all !!!! hopefully the public will wake up SOON !!!!!!

It means she’s just another phoney-baloney (I’m a vegetarian so I’m not sure how to spell baloney)!

I don’t believe the U.S. can survive another term of the Republicans; economically, environmentally, and physically (i.e., health care).

Jack,
It only means that she is not foolish enough to step into the trap that the Obama camp is trying to set for her. They have sent their high-priced, big city lawyers to Alaska to stir up trouble to pressure legislators to push hard in this trivial matter of an abusive man being fired . Aren’t Obama & his wife big-city lawyers as well? Interesting.

Jack,
It means she will side steep if the result will help her. You see if she says nothing, nothing she says can be held against her. She is living up to her nickname Barracuda.
Paul
Round Rock, Texas

It means she probably has something to hide and if she stalls long enough the election will take place before anything about “troopergate” is decided.

Jack

I think I speak for many residents in the Ohio Valley region when we say that we really don’t care about what’s happening to the Pres. or VP candidates for the last couple of days as most of us (yes, we in Ohio also) have been recovering from the remnants of Hurricane Ike. It looks like all of the news networks have totally forgotten the people of the Midwest and have not even empathized with many as we have been stuck with a lot of devastation in this once in a 100 year event. Remember, we too live in the United States.

Jack, it means she’s guilty!

This goes to prove my theoy as well as Obama and Biden stating that she will continue the Bush agenda. I have thought that from the moment she was appointed and when McCain was nominated.
Peole I hope have enough brains to oust McCain-Palen ticket. All we will have is the same “My way or the Highway”.

What it means jack is that the Obama camp and the democrat leadership is trying to fix the election. It means the same thing as Obama did to eliminate his black adversaries in the state of Illinios in which he used lawyers to get them off of the ticket. It will not work here with the republicans and the majority of the american people. Hey Jack when are you going to take your baised tail and ask the question what happen to the million dollars of fraud scam that Obama and His terriost friend Ayers run on the people in Chicago. But you would not do that because you and CNN are in the tank for Obama.. In november McCain / Palin will win big in the electoral vote.

She’s a blank page……being handled.

Comments were closed Jack, so now please know my heart and condolences are with you and your daughters. Millions are happy to see you back.

She obviously has something to hide. It must be a good one.

It means she is no longer the one in control and the party operatives are now in charge. She now does as she’s told.

It means as a compulsive liar, she’s scared to death she’ll have to answer interview questions truthfully under oath.

It means that Sarah has been well trained by Bush’s cronies!

She’s basically Dick Cheney in a dress and lipstick!

‘”Thanks! But not thanks ” to this bridge of deception

We cannot let this Woman get away with acting like she is above the law! That’s all the Bush admin did, they should’ve been impeached along time ago! She is nothing but a “Ultra” corrupt HYPOCRITE! Peolple in her own state government are affraid of stating the truth because of her evil vindictivness! We need to fix this country and the McCain/Palin ticket is NOT the way!!

Jack

Did anyone for a second believe she would cooperate? NO, this is the same playbook from the Bush administration. Palin is Clueless Joe Jackson with lipstick. If her and McCain get in office I hope everyone got passports to get out of the country, two war mongers on the loose in Washington, ouch!

Well Jack ordinarily I don’t read the garbage rags like the National Enquirer but their record of accountability on their stories about high profile people is very good as they make sure of the facts to avoid being found guilty of liable.

The Enquirer has stories on the Palin family that shows them to more disfunctional than how Ozzie Osbourne’s family is portrayed and this will all come out in the open as they are just dragging out the whole truth to bolster their paper sales.

As of now I think they have Sara by the short hair and will reveal a lot more troubling stuff about her than just her abuse of power but for now the Republican motto of “WE ARE ABOVE THE LAW” will have to suffice for troopergate.

Jack: Sarah once describe herself as a hockey mom to a pitbull….and the difference was lipstick. Now she refuses to cooperate with the troopergate investigation , which means, she is a pitbull with no legs; It doesn’t matter how many times you call her, she ain’t gonna come.

Why would Sarah Palin cooperate with the legislative invesigation when
she wouldn’t even cooperate with Charles Gibson?

Jack, glad you’re back. You’re the only voice of truth and it was getting
pretty ugly out here.

Did we really expect anything different. I mean a good republican can’t be expected to be forth right and honest and tell the truth. Good grief what kind of trend might that start. Nah never happen!

“Same as it ever was”

Andy of Sierra Vista, Arizona

This is great! With her contempt for the legislative process and lack of knowledge and experience, she will fit right in. We have found both Bush 44 and Bush 45. The future is so bright we’re gonna need shades.

President Bush stonewalled, ordered subordinates not to cooperate and “lost” emails. Looks like Palin/McCain are promising more of the same.

Ed Reed
Port Aransas, TX

When she says it is “tainted” with Democrats, it means that she can’t charm them, or say that since Bush, Rove, Cheney, Ashcroft, etc. didn’t even obey a Congressional supoena, why should she cooperate. If it were a Democrat saying that, the Republicans would be all over it, insinuating all kinds of dire things. When one of their own does it, it is refusing to cooperated with a tainted investigation. In any case, considering that the anti-Palin rally in Alaska was bigger than the pro-Palin when she went home to see her son off (a bigger PR stunt I’ve NEVER seen — and one guaranteed to paint targets on every person in the battalion!), I think there must be something rotten in Alaska!

Easy! She’s guilty!!

it means she’s just like the bush administration. she is why they should be made examples of. their corruption is spreading to republican state governments.

It means the exact same thing it meant when Hillary was being questions on Capital Hill about her escapades with Travelgate, Whitewater and her billing records from the Rose Law Firm.
Isn’t this a great country when one hypocrite calls someone else the very same thing??

It means it is sexist if you ask this question Jack! Can’t you see, the media won’t even dare criticize her, she knows she is guilty and to prevent an october catastrophe, she is playing the victim card again!! This is so frustrating to watch! what happened to our media, Jack, what happened? when did they stop standing up for the common interest of our nation? Barack Obama or Joe Biden would have never dared done this! never!

Jack, Palin is Bush in a skirt. While Hiding behind duplicity, she studies the script of her next prevarication.

Jerry N/Tulsa

Because she’s above the law like most all politicians.

She is flip fop on the investigation issue. McCain campaign is also controlling what Sarah Palin can say and will say now. This shows how inexperience Sarah Palin is to be the VP choice for the GOP ticket.

Jack,
I don’t know what it means, but I don’t like it. It raises suspicions that she’s hiding something. I for one say, “thanks but no thanks” to more doubts about a candidate’s credibility.

Christine
Waterbury CT

This was a bipartisan effort, started before she was picked for the VP candidate, she spouted “transparency” in government, then her husband had to be subpoenaed, its looking like she is going to end up being subpoenaed too, and if she doesn’t show, get a US Marshall to go get her and drag her azz back to the hearing. She is not above the law and maybe she has to learn that fact. If she has nothing to hide, why not talk to the investigators, who BTW, are a majority of Republicans.

it means she’s incompetent, and she has something to hide, if she didn’t have anything to hide why not let them question her, i can’t stand her and all the press the madia gives her, she’s not worthy

Simple Jack. That she is guilty or has something to hide. You remember a Vice President who would not attend a subpoena by the Senate Committee on Wire Tapping? Dick Cheney. This just means that if McCain wins, she will just be the same: McSame, DickSame, BushSame or SarahSame.

It means she has learned the lessons of the Bush administration: use and abuse your power, clam up when you are called on it, and simply ignore any attempt by the legal community to learn the truth and/or hold you accountable. She is the last person we need in the White House (in any capacity) following the current administration.

Jack: First, our family’s prayers go out to Carol, you and the family. Candles are lit, condolences sent.
2. In our system, you do not have to cooperate; you just cannot lie and are unlikely to be able to conceal. So it means nothing!

3. I am more concerned that she vetoed a bill to help keep troubled teens off the streets in Anchorage and opposed an earmark for special emphasis on sex crime prosecution, both supported by Monegan, a career top cop. Earmarks are not a dirty word. It is probably local gov’t malpractice not to ask Washington for the money back for special projects that the locals cannot afford after large tax takings by the feds. Just be careful for what you ask for and ask intelligently. I am not misled or distracted. I am voting for Obama.
Jon in Calif.

Jack,
She is stone walling the investigation in order to keep the story in the news for the free media coverage it is getting or this holy sainted mother did abused her powers as the State’s Governor and is trying to hide it until after the Election…

C.I., New York

It means that she is perfectly qualified to continue the policies of this Administration…can you say “Executive Privilege”? Obviously she is not a new kind of politician…just more of the same.
