McCain-Palin First Ever Ticket Where Both Candidates Found To Have Violated Ethics Standards Before An Election

Washington Monthly:

Now that Sarah Palin has been found to have abused her powers, violated state ethics, and lied about it, I did a little digging and found an interesting historical footnote.

The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.

McCain's campaign at work again. They are mailing that stuff out.

Pls digg.

McCain was in the bottom of his Naval Academy graduating class - 894th out of 899 grads. That's the bottom .006% folks!

It took Palin 5 colleges (some totally unknown to anyone) and 6 years to get a degree in Journalism, which is only slightly less difficult to get than a degree in surfing from Maui Community College.

And with the joining of these two great minds, we now have proof positive of the scientific principle that water does seek its own level.

Please read the following article: Since Palin lives in a glass house, she shouldn't throw stones!
