Low Hanging Fruit

I told myself that I wouldn't post about this because its just too easy. But then I thought about it and figured why the hell not? Sarah Palin's story has now hit the pinnacle of hypocrisy from the "family values" right. You have an unwed prenant teenager, a high school drop out, a messy divorce, allegations of child abuse, drunken myspace photos, rumors of an affair, and now to top it all off you have allegations of drug crimes. Now just imagine for a moment that President Elect Obama's unwed teenage daughter's some time in the future to be mother in law was arrested on drug charges. Imagine the media firestorm that would develop from that. But when its a Republican involved there is barely a peep. Once again say it with me, liberal media bias MY ASS!

Little additional information was available Friday on the case as authorities remained unusually tight-lipped about details. But Palmer court records listed Johnston's scheduled court date and a troopers spokeswoman said in a release late Friday afternoon that the charges "are in relation to the drug oxycontin."

Johnston is the mother of Levi Johnston, who Gov. Sarah Palin said was the father of Bristol Palin's unborn child. Levi Johnston joined the Palins at the Republican National Convention when Palin was running for vice president. It was during the convention that the governor and her husband, Todd, announced Bristol's pregnancy.

She was arrested around noon Thursday by troopers serving a search warrant in an undercover drug investigation. A standard press release issued by troopers said Johnston was arrested on six felony counts: second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance - generally manufacturing or delivering drugs - as well as fourth-degree misconduct involving controlled substances, or possession.
