I mean, if you consider that the NY Times is skulking around Juneau preparing what will undoubtedly be a hit piece on Gov. Palin, you would probably be safe to assume that he will dump his crush on McCain's daughter and become a fanboy of Bill Yardley.

The question asked by Mr. Yardley is very telling as to the intentions of his article. Do not be surprised if the article is similar to that of the anti-Palin piece that appeared in Conde Nast's Portfolio last month. The author of the Portfolio article went out of his way to quote Palin enemies such as Mike Hawker and Andrew Halcro.

A New York Times article centering on Palin's relationship with the legislature will likely be full of quotes from Palin's foes, who include: Jay Ramras, Mike Hawker, Beth Kerttula, Hollis French, Johnny Ellis and others. My prediction is that the article will paint Palin as the villian, while the legislature will be depicted as the victim. We have detailed how some in the Alaska Legislature have attacked Governor Palin for a variety of mundane reasons, including Ramras' recent questioning of Palin's choice for attorney general, Wayne Anthony Ross. Ramras was more focused on Governor Palin wearing an Arctic Cat jacket and potentially writing a book than he was on Ross' legal philosophy. The questioning eventually got so out of hand that Ramras was reminded by Rep. Lynn that this was Ross' confirmation, not Governor Palin's. Ramras has also questioned Palin's commitment to state government by sharing his concerns about a one day trip she will be taking during the last week of the legislative session. Ramras must have forgotten to mention the taxpayer junket he took part in to Washington D.C. that closed down the state capitol for a week. Rep. Les Gara also took part in the trip and was so excited at almost meeting the president that he detailed his experience in a letter. Hollis French was the ringleader of the "Tasergate" investigation, and he even went as far as promising an "October surprise." Looks to me as if the Alaska Democrats were playing politics on behalf of the national party. We've been detailing for weeks Beth Kerttula's involvement with the Juneau political machine. It was also rumored that Senate Majority leader Johnny Ellis bragged that he had an Obama campaign issued Blackberry phone during the presidential campaign.
