Once Elected, Palin Hired Friends and Lashed Foes - NYTimes.com

Here's a snippet from another article in the NY Times. This one is NOT an Op-Ed piece, but an investigative piece. The Vetting process of the press at work. Please read the article here:

So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she [Palin] appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification for running the roughly $2 million agency.

It gets worse from here folks... please read the article and pass it along. I'm sure this is just the beginning.

Thanks, Alan, for sending me this link - keep 'em coming.
I agree 100% that Palin would have fit in very well with the current administration with her cronyism, secrecy and attitude toward those who disagree. Might just have well learned this from Karl Rove directly!
