I questioned the timing of the way things ramped up on the Palin thing in Alaska, a couple days ago. Turns out, I was right, again… the guy supposedly investigating her is Hollis French, who is listed on the Obama website [1] as an Obama supporter. (BBCT: Dan Rheil) [2]
The following Alaska elected officials are supporting Senator Obama’s campaign for president:
State Senators (8)
Bettye Davis, Anchorage
Johnny Ellis, Anchorage
Kim Elton, Juneau
Hollis French, Anchorage
Lyman Hoffman, Bethel
Albert Kookesh, Angoon
Joe Thomas, Fairbanks
Bill Wielechowski, AnchorageSen. Hollis French:
“Senator Biden is one of America’s leading voices on national security. With decades of foreign policy experience and a son headed to Iraq, he will help make the right decisions that allow America to defeat terrorism, keep our country strong, and ensure that our veterans are honored for their service.”
“Senator Obama has a plan to end our dependence on foreign oil and reduce skyrocketing energy prices,” said Senator Hollis French of Anchorage, a former oil rig worker. “Having worked in the oil business in Alaska for twelve years, I know firsthand the importance of oil and natural gas to Alaska. Senator Obama will not only invest in renewable fuels and increase car fuel efficiency standards, he strongly supports construction of an Alaska natural gas pipeline and accelerated drilling in the Alaska National Petroleum Reserve which will provide affordable energy to Alaska and our country and good jobs for Alaskans.”
Gee, can you possibly imagine why this trooper thing would have all gotten going the moment McCain named Palin as his VP, but not before?
Oh, and watch this; ABC news is now waving phrases like “October Suprise’ [3] around in relation to the “investigation”. No duh, ABC. And BTW, thank God for Brian Ross, else the whole ABC org would be nigh on useless.
Meanwhile, what’s this I see about the Democrats releasing Palin’s Social Security Number? [4]
Yep… looks like Alaska Democrats are in on this one, too. And since the report is incidental to the suppsoed Alaska “investigation”, I suspect we have Obama operatives at the bottom of this one, too, possibly the self-same Mr French.
It appears the Democrats have sunk to a new low here… though I can’t say it’s anything but expected.
