Country First...Riiiiigggghht...

Todd Palin has refused to testify in the "Troopergate" case. Color me surprised.

This sounds EXACTLY like another investigation that SOMEONE wouldn't cooperate with...after they said they would.

And, with regard to Palin, herself, here's an article from the Washington Post about her governing style. Some quotes that might sound familiar:

"She can only handle a few issues directly," said Lois Epstein, director of the Alaska Transportation Priorities Project, who has attended meetings with Palin. "And she relies on a very small number of trusted advisers for those issues. . . . That means certain issues don't get any attention."


Does that sound like some "leader" we know?

If it's not ringing a bell with you, let's take a look at another quote about Palin and see if we can figure it out.

According to lawmakers, senior gubernatorial aides and others who have watched her closely, [Palin] has little interest in political give-and-take, or in sustained working relationships with legislators or other important figures around the state. Nor has she proven particularly attentive to the details of public policy. "She's not known for burning the midnight oil on in-depth policy issues," said Larry Persily, a former journalist who was associate director of the governor's Washington office until the spring.


Looks like it's more of the same on all fronts.
