Hypocrisy abounds on Palin Probe - Obama behind the attack on Governor that began before her elevation to running mate.

Here's a real shocker!

Sarah Palin is refusing to cooperate with a probe into her actions as Governor.

The reason? It's some Democratic conspiracy.

This, despite the fact that the investigation began before she was tapped to be McCain's running mate.

The Republicans, who are quick to cynically point out the conspiracies of others, are just as bad when their folks are in the cross-hairs. This particular investigation is some Obama plot. Obviously Obama is so smart that he lined this up well before McCain chose the governor as his running mate. In that case, maybe Obama should be president, since he's so smart....I'm just saying.

I'll resort to some cop logic: If Governor Palin has nothing to hide, then she should cooperate so the truth can get out.

Her choice not to cooperate only increases the perception of wrongdoing.

Rove refusing to testify over attorney firings...makes one wonder why.

I'm gonna try some "cop logic" on this particular situation.

If Rove has nothing to hide, then he should testify. Bush hasn't done anything so secret and earth-shattering to require him to assert executive privilege over the firing of government attorneys.

Were those fired attorneys part of some secret government cabal? No.

Were those who replaced them part of some secret government cabal? Maybe, if you include a highly partisan party machine.

This is the real reason behind the executive privilege claim: They got caught and don't want to own their malfeasance.

That sort of thing is grounds for impeachment and prosecution itself.

Rove will end up testifying. Mark my words.
