Senator Septuagenarian's Albatross

MANIFESTO

The more the blogosphere investigates the governor of Alaska, the more she looks to be a gargantuan liability to the aspirations of the PRERPREN. As Steve Benen points out, the

running mate [is] in the middle of an ethics scandal in which there's strong evidence that the governor told obvious untruths.

Of course, this scandalous background is par for the course for Republicans, and I may have been right the first time: that there really are no (scandal-plagued) Republicans left, and Senator Septuagenarian chose one who he mistakenly thought was squeaky clean (if only because she's had little chance to do anything untoward).

With the Republicans' national convention only days away, this could get quite interesting.
