Tripp Palin news rollout adds mystery to birth


Will the media, including the hometown Anchorage Daily News, start looking for answers to all the questions raised by Tripp Palin's birth?

Those questions start with whether the kid was born on a Saturday or a Sunday, why Gov. Palin's office is stiffing the press so far as to not even issue a release (it did with Trig's birth), lie about why it's not releasing any PR and more.

The Blago follies on display at Burriss-Senate presser raise many questions


Getcha popcorn, as Terrell Owens would say here in Dallas.

Among the questions:
1. Can Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White really block the appointment? Will state AG Madigan, also known as "Candidate No. 2," be asked to rule if White has any such power, or is just a paperwork functionary in a case like this? As "Candidate No. 2," should she recuse herself if such a request for ruling comes to her office?

2. How did Bobby Rush get tapped to run race-based flack? Is Jesse Jackson Jr. mad at being cut out of the loop?

3. Speaking of this, if Harry Reid falls back to his original position of the Democratic party not letting Burris (or ANY Blago appointee) caucus with it, will the Congressional Black Caucus rise up? Especially since Reid welcomed Joementum, once again, with open arms?

All very good questions. These and more are discussed further on my blog.
