More Palin vetting

The NYTimes has a pretty long story damaging Palin's claims over the giant natural gas pipeline which she took credit for.

Yesterday, Ben Smith at Politico dug into all those earmarks are that Palin requested and received.

“We’re not going to spend $3 million of your tax dollars to study the DNA of bears in Montana,” McCain has said during this year’s campaign...

Palin, meanwhile, has requested $3.2 million to be spent in part researching the “genetics of harbor seals....”

From Politico today, GOP foreign policy experts cool on Palin.

The WSJ has a letter from Palin's ethics adviser in Alaska on how she should conduct herself on Troopergate. (She didn't listen.)

The WaPo editorial board blows back on the McCain campaign over the faux outrage over Obama's "lipstick" comment. (Even poor late night host Craig Ferguson is lecturing.)

USAToday highlights the rape kits.

(And Politico lists many of the former McCain aides who have become lobbyists and their clients.)
