Remind you of Brown and FEMA:"Heckuva Job Brownie"

So liking cows is the qualification needed to head the Ag Division in Alaska under Caribou Barbie

From NYTimes:

So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as one of her qualifications for running the roughly $2 million agency.

Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages.

Does Palin even know what the truth is?

Over at Andrew Sullivan:

I cannot quite keep count at this point of the bald-faced lies that the McCain-Palin campaign has been telling to a pliant, pathetic, useless excuse for an American press corps. But here's the latest. We were all told by the McCain-Palin campaign that Sarah Palin had visited Iraq earlier this year:

This was another simple lie. Not a distortion, a lie. But, as we know, the McCain-Palin campaign tells massive lies and when called on them, first try a dodge, rather than the truth.

Her alleged visit to Ireland was also, it turns out, a refueling stop. She didn't leave the plane. I swear to you I'm not making any of this up.

What happened to McCain?

In the last month, McCain has become the biggest liar in the modern history of presidential politics. He makes Bill Clinton look like George Washington.
