How About A Good Round-Up Of Palin Rumors

Debunking almost all of them -- and putting a few others in context in a way that makes things appear not only not scandalous, but downright reasonable.
Here are a couple of examples from this excellent blog post.

17. yes, she did fire the public safety guy — but he said in the Anchorage paper that, for the record, she never, and no one else in her administration ever, tried to make him fire her ex-brother-in-law 18. and yes, the state trooper (her sister’s ex-husband) she was worried about did: tase her 10 year old nephew; drive his state patrol car while drinking or drunk; did threaten to “bring her down”; and did threaten to murder her father and sister if they dared to get an attorney to help with the divorce. 19. yes, the state trooper was suspended when he was put under a court protective order 20. no, the trooper wasn’t fired 21. yes, she did fire the Wasilla Chief of Police as Mayor; yes, it was because he was lying to the City Council.

* * *

26. yes, she did ask the librarian if some books could be withdrawn because of being offensive; no, they couldn’t; yes she did threaten to fire the librarian a month later; no, that wasn’t over the books thing but instead over administrative issues; no, the librarian wasn’t fired either; yes, the librarian was a big supporter of one of her political opponents; yes, the librarian was also the girlfriend of the Chief of police mentioned above; no, this is not the first time in the history of civilization that someone has been threatened with being fired over a political dispute

The list is really comprehensive, folks, and doesn't spare her Palin where there is truth to the rumor -- but the ones where there is truth are generally either so trivial as to be irrelevant to the campaign or proof that she may be -- the horrors -- a human being like the rest of us.

My one suggestion for Charlie, though, is that he provide the links he says he has to back his information. he isn't consistent about hit -- but what he has written jibes generally with the press accounts I've read.
