Categorical Aperitif

Having read today's Daily Howler, I immediately noticed a problem with this statement by a McCain-Palin spokesperson about the recent report on Sarah Palin's abuse of power in the Troopergate case:

In an e-mail statement, Ms. Stapleton said the report showed that the investigation was a "partisan led inquiry run by Obama supporters and the Palins were completely justified in their concern regarding Trooper Wooten given his violent and rogue behavior."

The problem is that the 14-member legislative council that released the report is made up of ten Republicans and four Democrats; ergo, the Palinite's denunciation is correct IF (a) by "partisan-led" she means "Republican-led" and (b) a significant percentage of those Republicans are Obama supporters. If neither of these is the case, then she's...oh...what's the expression...

A SHAMELESS LYING HACK.

Tsk tsk. Not very mavericky, that.
