SocraticGadfly: Black is white in Alaska

Black is white in Alaska

Sarah Palin: Troopergate report exonerates me!
Asked “Governor, did you abuse your power?” she said, “No, and if you read the report you’ll see that there was nothing unlawful or unethical about replacing a cabinet member. You gotta read the report, sir.”

Reality? not even close. In the report:
“I find that Governor Sarah Palin Abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act ... Compliance with the code of ethics is not optional.”

I think Palin is an Alaskan, perhaps a Religious Right, version of a Leo Strauss neoconservative —

She believes lies are OK if in the service of a higher good.
