In fact, her bizarre appointment for Attorney General, Wayne Anthony Ross, was rejected nearly unanimously by the state legislature — a first in Alaskan history. Even in respect to energy policy, her supposed bailiwick, she has been categorically ineffective. When I asked those in-the-know what role Palin had played in putting together the recent pipeline deal between TransCanada and Exxon, their response was simple: “None.”
None. That about sums up Palin’s accomplishments as Governor of the Last Frontier.
The evangelical right can wallow in denial all they want about Palin being victimized by liberals or Democrats or even George Soros (some illiterate wingnut recently tried to link me to him), but the fact is that most of the people with really bad things to say about Palin — from John McCain’s staff to conservatives in Alaska — come from the Republican Party. The charges of a left-wing conspiracy are so ridiculous as to be absolutely absurd.
But then what coming from the Palin camp isn’t?
