I guess folksy people don’t have to tell the truth
This is pathetic.
But then what else is new?

In Thursday’s debate, Palin said she had advocated the state divest from Sudan. “When I and others in the legislature found out that we had some millions of dollars [of Permanent Fund investments] in Sudan, we called for divestment through legislation of those dollars,” Palin said.
But a search of news clips and transcripts from the time do not turn up an instance in which Palin mentioned the Sudanese crisis or concerns about Alaska’s investments tied to the ruling regime. Moreover, Palin’s administration openly opposed the bill, and stated its opposition in a public hearing on the measure.

Palin may not have a solid base of experience, but she does excel at lying. She winks and smiles and glibly chortles her way through her barrage of deceit. True to Republican standards, that’s Sarah for you. Her words are as phony as her fake patina of folksiness. She makes my skin crawl.
