Shocker? Palin won't cooperate with investigation.

Surprising precisely no one, Slick Sarah Palin is weaseling out of her promise to cooperate fully with the Troopergate investigation.

McCain campaign spokesman Ed O'Callaghan told a news conference Monday that the governor, the Republican nominee for vice president, will not cooperate as long as the investigation "remains tainted." He said he doesn't know whether Palin's husband would challenge a subpoena issued to compel his cooperation.

The campaign insists the investigation has been hijacked by Democrats.

Hijacked by Democrats, despite a 12-0 vote to launch the investigation, and a majority vote in a Republican-led committee to authorize subpoenas.

Duh. Another ridiculous lie to add to the pile.

But more to the point, it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to see that Palin's setting up a Dick Cheney play here. Turns out that's just one more thing she's disguising with lipstick.

UPDATE: Just wanted to share this bit, which was actually an update from another post, on Sep. 5th:

The commitee, led by Sen. Hollis French, an Anchorage Democrat also announced that it would meet on September 12 to issue subpoenas in the case.

But according to the release, Palin herself will not be subpoenaed. The committee still holds out hope that she will talk to indepedendent investigator Steven Branchflower voluntarily.

Ha ha. Yeah, right.

Like I said. Not like it was a tough call
