McCain adviser Tucker Eskew: Troopergate "a series of outlandish, politically motivated charges"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Day of stunning Palin disclosures



As for the Alaska probe, a Republican-dominated legislative committee is investigating whether Palin dismissed Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan after he refused to fire a state trooper who had divorced Palin's sister.

The state's attorney general, Talis Colberg, hired Thomas V. Van Flein more than two weeks ago to represent Palin and members of her staff, according to Van Flein. He has represented the Palin family in the past as a private attorney, according to a McCain aide who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

Van Flein said he couldn't confirm representing the family because of attorney-client privilege.

"Did I know the Palins before the state hired me? Yes," he told The Associated Press.

"The governor of every state gets legal counsel, and this attorney is part of a weeks-old effort to provide this governor defense in a series of outlandish, politically motivated charges," said senior McCain adviser Tucker Eskew. "It is a matter of her job and is not recent, and it is not related to her selection on the McCain-Palin ticket."

Maybe at that moment I knew of the idiot Tuckers in the world that were coming
and i took my rage out on him

5. I LOVE that McCain's people have to spend $$ and time defending her..

I mean, the less time they spend on message, the better. What a pig in a poke they got.

BTW, McCain is starting to look very out of touch with things - like those guys you see driving down the streen clutching the steering wheel with their mouthes open. Not a dig on his age, but he's looking every bit of 72 lately in his expressions.

10. Yup, yup! (my new favorite phrase courtesy of Ms. Palin)

;)

Looks like all $10 million that McWTF got from the fundies for picking the Caribou Catastrophe will have to be spent trying to defend his miserable judgment to the non-religiously-insane. :rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

7. Oh, a McCain spokesman said there's nothing to see here. Obviously this story is a dead end, then.

they'll do ANYTHING, won't they?

[beac]

11. Nothing says "family values" like hiring the guy who

put out the word that your kid was the product of a liaison with a "dark-skinned" hooker!

[EC]
