Palin is more Bush than Bush

So it comes out now that Gov. Sarah Palin will not cooperate with a probe into her ethics in Alaska.

Why not? If she has nothing to hide, why not lay it all out there?

Last night, her representative said Palin would not be available for media questions until there was a guarantee that she be treated with "... deference."

What, like a queen? If she knows what she is talking about, why not let her answer questions, express her views? I thought she actually did a pretty good job with Charlie Gibson from ABC, though he was so smarmy he made me squirm.

The fact is, Palin is hiding her actions in Alaska because they were unethical. The campaign is hiding her from reporters because she doesn't know anything and hasn't had time to learn as McCain's cram squad has tried to give her a crash course in everything.

The Republicans are trying to hide the fact that McCain made a terrible mistake in cravenly choosing the pretty and very right wing and completely unqualified Palin to be the second in command.

Now their only choice is to hide the past, hide Palin and hide the truth.

Just like Dick Cheney hiding that Enron wrote his energy plan. Like Bush hiding from investigations into why government lawyers were fired for not being loyal enough, or hiding torture at Guantanomo.

Hiding, lying, taking the country to war, throwing away our money.

McCain/Palin is looking more like Bush/Cheney every day. C'mon. Enough was enough.
