Laura McGann, an enterprising reporter for the online Washington Independent, was doing a basic check on John McCain's VP choice, Sarah Palin, and called up Kristie Smithers, the Wasilla City Clerk where Palin was Mayor. Ever courteous, McGann thanked Smithers, noting that she must have fielded request after request from the McCain campaign and Republican vetters.
"She chuckled," McGann wrote. "Then she told me that I'm the first person who has asked her office for anything."
The incident reflects the apparently superficial examination of Palin's past and present by the McCain campaign - a lapse that has produced a seemingly unrelenting series of negative news stories, many stemming from the new media, many catching Republican operatives off guard and many demonstrates the lightening fast response of both the blogosphere and the mainstream media.
Palin has turned into a media goldmine, not least for that pioneer of the Web
The media loves a lier because it sells so much product no matter who the lier is it really doesn't matter. they will ride this story until the lieng clown leaves town and since Mccain's campaign never vetted Palin it is the media's duty to do so for the Ameriacan people's own protection.
Be very scared America be very Scared!
