When is a duck not a duck? When it's a pig.

Anyone following this election should be reading the blog at the Anchorage Daily News, so they can see how people in Alaska are really reacting to the Palin presidential run.

Palin/McCain keep mouthing the words 'transparent' and 'open' but it's sort of like Reagan calling an offensive missle system the 'Peacekeeper'. As the writers at the ADN point out, the McCain campaign is overseeing the release of all information about Palin's years as Mayor

McCain staffers have even been assigned to answer calls for Palin's family members, who have been instructed not to talk

National politics have absolutely hijacked the state government, it's really disturbing to see from the governor," said Rep. Beth Kerttula, D-Juneau.

And let's not forget these acts of 'transparency'

• Todd Palin, the governor’s husband: Served with subpoena but hasn’t given statement and didn’t appear before the committee as ordered Friday to testify.

• Randy Ruaro, Palin’s deputy chief of staff: Served with subpoena but hasn’t given statement and didn’t appear before the committee as ordered Friday to testify.

• Ivy Frye, a Palin special assistant: Served with subpoena but hasn’t given statement and didn’t appear before the committee as ordered Friday to testify.

I wish I could ignore a subpoena.

"Maverick" stops at the campaign's edge, apparently. One of Sarah's supposed virtues is that she goes in and challenges the system.
So now she and her whole family (including Levi, I'm sure)have become the complete prisoners of the McCain campaign handlers.
Do you suppose someone calling up Levi to arrange a hockey game has his call routed through the campaign headquarters?
