If it has become political, it is because Palin made it so. She and her husband initially indicated they would cooperate. They initially did cooperate. She was then nominated as VP, and all cooperation ceased. Instead, an army of attorneys from the McCain campaign flew to Alaska and tried to shut the investigation down. Palin and her husband were then subpoenaed, and they still refused to cooperate. Everyone who was available for interview and who was relevant was interviewed.

Really- what do you want? Rather than saying "NPR thinks it was politically motivated" (who knew you took NPR as gospel?), present some facts to support your argument. You are becoming more Tex-like by the day.

Zip it! Zip zip. Zip it.
