We know that Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house, but what does she think of LGBT people? The Human Rights Campaign wondered the same thing and its Senior Media Center Manager, Michael Cole to Alaska to investigate.
Spoiler: Michael did not find Palin’s rumored gay friend.

I don’t know why I’m continuously amazed at the sheer chutzpah of the Republican ticket. While the dastardly duo has clearly sunk to the lowest possible depths in an attempt to keep control of the country, the lengths they are willing to go still shocks me.
This latest news that Sarah Palin is refusing to cooperate with the bipartisan investigation into her alleged improper use of the Governor’s office to demand her ex-brother-in-law’s termination from the state troopers. When her public safety commissioner refused to fire the trooper, she canned him instead.
She’s claiming that the investigation has been “tainted and run by partisan individuals” because state senator Hollis French, the Democratic lawmaker managing the investigation is an Obama supporter. Keep in mind that the legislature deliberately made the investigation non-partisan, Palin supported the investigation originally (while suddenly finding evidence that her office just might have tried to influence the termination), and the person investigating her is an independent counsel.
