Ross has been proven a liar as of today. The lobbyists' contemporaneous notes of the meeting have been found and sent to every one of the Alaska legislators. He said it, and has made so many sexist, racist and homophobic comments that he admits to that this is absolutely part of a pattern.

At least the overly ambitious Governor of Alaska is making her blunders on a state level (Sorry, Alaska!) On a national level...or international level.. she'd be way out of her league. She needs to learn to govern without drama, threats and contradictions (lies). She needs to learn to pick people who might uphold the Constitution and represent the best of America. Then she needs to learn that adults do not attack misguided teenagers. If she can't manage that,I shudder to think of the kind of messes she'd get us into abroad.

Bonnie, I don't think you are an ugly b____. That remark is so rude and pathetic. Sarah Palin may be attractive but she isn't that intelligent nor is she experienced enough in international affairs and international trade experience. I do believe that she loves America and God.

Boy, you are really trying hard to find something bad to talk about Palin. You talk about this Palin appointment, and yet you and so many don't even mention all THE MANY Obama appointment gaffs, embarrassing appointment gaffs too. Can't even fill his entire administration too, and soon it will be his second year! What is wrong with you???
I know what is wrong with you...you pledge allegiance to the Democratic party and nothing else, and you would probably die for it too. Maybe, if you weren't behind a desk and surrounded by everything liberal your whole life, you would be able to see the truth sometimes. Bonnie, quit being so biased, so maybe someone will want to take anything you say seriously.

Muslim culture is the one that advocates wife rape. He made a joke in poor taste. Big damn deal. If I met someone I thought was good for a job it's not like I'd be able to go back and find every offhand comment they made in the past.
Just a poorly written left wing smear piece. Back when I was in college at least the liberals were better writers.

OMgoodness...so this Leah Burton was eavesdropping in a Denny's over 15 years ago when she allegedly heard these "Defense of Marital Rape" comments. From Ms. Erbe's headline I thought this W.A.R. had published a thesis with this theme. Whatever...it seems no one is credible.

Bonnie just to let you know you really are wasting your time reporting this nonsense. It's down right hilarious to watch the drive-by media attack conservatives. I mean really Barry attacked Rush Limbaugh and his listnership doubled. I am almost certain that we will see Sarah Palin in 2012. She must make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. Oh, it's just to funny! That's okay we all know that the media is in the tank for Obama, that's why fox ratings are soaring and your are circling the toliet. I do believe that the writing is on the wall.

why is that anyone who does not hold the current msm leftist views are radicals? hot damn i'm a radical again---would you like a cup of tea, Bonnie? -Darrell Coulter, Vancouver,WA USA

The blunder is this column. Who is going to take the word of some eavesdropper who goes around leaning in to hear what people are saying, or so she says. Who knows what she heard and who cares. Why is a column being written except as another cheap shot at Sarah Palin? Give it up. I suspect ninty-nine percent of the msm articles on Palin are negative. This is an astounding number and shows when it comes to Palin the media is completely biased.

Lean Burton is an absolutely bonkers anti-Christian nut who has no credibility:
