In probably the scoop of the campaign John Popkin, writing for an ominous sounding "Deep Background" (think "deep throat") reveals some of the darkest secrets yet uncovered about Palin. Popkin leads off with this shocking revelation:
"“Dear Editor,” Palin wrote in 2002. “San Francisco judges forbidding our Pledge of Allegiance? They will take the phrase ‘under God’ away from me when my cold, dead lips can no longer utter those words,” Palin wrote.
“God Bless America,” she concluded."
I know, I know, shocking isn't it? Well it is to Popkin. Just listen.
"There are few headline grabbers in the lot. Even Palin’s Pledge-of-Allegiance rant was a commonly held view at the time."
Got that? Her "rant" was a "commonly held view" except for obviously Popkin. And note he says there's more "headline grabbers" to come. And teases us with what's to come. Oh, goody. "While hardly earth shattering, Palin’s personal missives can be revealing." I can hardly wait! Reveal on Popkin.
"Consider the letter to Mike Doogan, then a columnist for the Anchorage Daily News.
Doogan had written in the paper on March 5, 2002, that lawmakers were considering moving the state legislature to Wasilla. “Now, I disrespect Wasilla as much as the next guy, but this seems a little extreme,” Doogan quipped. “Isn't being a blight on the landscape enough shame for Wasillians?”
Palin couldn’t resist. Two days later, she wrote a personal letter that simply said:
“Dear Mr. Doogan: Why do you do what you do to Wasilla?”
She signed it, “Respectfully, Sarah.”
Huh? That's it? That's the revelation? Palin defends her town from a local journalist's derision. How dare she?
Read on. It only gets more revealing.
Update: Love this comment to Popkin.
"Can we get our hands on Joe Biden's notes? Oh, we already have them... others have written them, he just copies them. "
