More lies and contradictions.

The Branchflower Report includes testimony by John Glass, Deputy Commissioner of Public Safety. Glass testified that he told Todd Palin “that Wooten had already been penalized for his actions that he had taken.” See Branchflower, p. 63.

Now see Petumenos, p. 34. Todd claims “he did not ever learn, from anyone, that any consequence of significance” had been imposed on Wooten.

Of course Petumenos did not interview Glass or make any attempt to explain this contradiction.

Petumenos and the Palins are basically saying this: “just assume we’re telling the truth, even though there are various credible witness who swear we’re lying.”

I dealt with both Petumenos and Branchflower when I worked in public safety.

They’re both very decent. But I’m seeing more and more analysis on his report – I leave that stuff to better hands – and his carelessness is troubling. His report should have been wider than Branchflower’s, not narrower, IMHO.

ET is it your birthday? Happy Birthday! Don’t know if you saw my comments at 22 and 44 above, but, in a nutshell, this report is a joke. I don’t know what kind or stature of lawyer this guy is, but this report does not reflect well on his skills at all. Irrespective of the conclusions, it is a sloppy piece of contrived junk. Laughable.

Distribution of false info to voters is a misdemeanor?
Shocking!

Actually that quote was exactly what made me ask the question. Why not? Never been a huge fan of the answer “Because I say so.”

Watching the ads on the Monday night game, Obama’s look to be mostly positive, with a couple of negatives. McCain’s ads are negative, in fact, I can’t remember a single positive McCain ad, though surely there are some.

The Ohio state candidate ads are so negative they make your teeth hurt, and I can’t even figure out which party most of them belong to.

Like to see a little MSM coverage of that last bit. Don’t suppose there was video? Thanks much for your many valuable contributions, ET.
