    My bad, subpoenaed.

    It's hard to keep track of. The early reports from Alaska on Friday were he would be subpoenaed, brought home and indicted.

    But then again since the mainstream press won't report anything remotely negative on the Palins it is difficult to keep track. One must go to Alaska for news on them. Even criminal news. Like subpoenas and trials.

    ANCHORAGE -- The abuse of power investigation against Sarah Palin, Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate, took a potentially ominous turn for her party on Friday when state lawmakers voted to subpoena her husband.

    Republican efforts to delay the probe until after the Nov. 4 election were thwarted when GOP State Sen. Charlie Huggins, who represents Palin's hometown of Wasilla, sided with Democrats. "Let's just get the facts on the table," said Huggins, who appeared in camouflage pants to vote during a break from moose hunting."

    Were Eleanor and Franklin subpoenaed? Cause if they were, then yeah it would have been a big deal THEN that they were CRIMINALLY helping their spouse to.

    I'm sorry but people's willingness to fall for any moderately attractive married white people under the age of 50 is one of the stranger phenomenons in this country.

    These people are criminals. That's my problem with them. Plain and simple.
