Palin's reaction to the finding that she abused her power was met with precisely this response - that it was a partisan witchhunt. Everybody has heard this reponse. It's in every story about this case.

Funny - the council that voted unanimously to release the 263-page file documenting this abuse is composed of 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats.

How many news reports have actually mentioned this latter fact?

This looks like a great thread, bookmarking it. Unfortunately I'm going to be doing nothing but sleeping and working for the next 72+ hours. Spent half my night off bored dumb, and then find something of interest just minutes before I need to crash. Bummer.

Sara Robinson has written a new great piece about education, and what happens when you cede the argument to rightwing idiots:
