Sex, Drugs, And GOP Control

The Palin family is full of great news stories.

Aside from Sarah's lackluster performance during the final months of the Presidential campaign, her daughters pre-marital sexual escapades that led to her pregnancy, witch-hunting preachers, and an adminstrative record that wasn't as sparkling as she was wanting everyone to believe, there's Bristol Palin's soon-to-be-husband's mother.

Sherry Johnston was arrested / charged with selling Rush Limbaugh's favorite afternoon snack, Oxycontin, on December 18th.

But, there is allegedly a twist to this:

A Mat-Su drug investigator and the union representing Alaska State Troopers are alleging political meddling in the Sherry Johnston drug case, including a delay in serving the search warrant because of the November election.

Political and Law Enforcement shenanigans involving a would-be VP just weeks before the election? No, surely not?

But now comes the "he said, she said" part:

Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Joe Masters and troopers director Col. Audie Holloway vigorously dispute that there was anything irregular in how this case was handled.

"We worked very hard to make sure we conducted it just as fairly and as normally as any other investigation," Holloway said.

While Michelle Malkin, and many other mouth-agape conservative bloggers and pundits, will claim that I suffer form PDS ( that's Palin Derangement Syndrome for those that aren't as clever as the conservatives that make up stuff like that ) and it's wildly inappropriate to even consider that local law enforecement would cover for a nationally recognizable politician.

Not to live in the "what if" world that conservatives continually inhabit, but how great it would have been to hear Sarah Palin and her cultish fanbase talk about the "values" associated with hard-working women peddling drugs to teens. The "trickle-down" effect through the conservative blogging community would have been equally as incredible. We might have even gotten to hear Dennis Prager talk about dosing your wife up with Extacy so she would have sex with you.
