No, I don't think so
Submitted October 11, 2008 - 8:41 am by Al Giordanoamk - I don't think the state trooper firing story in Alaska has many legs. To the extent it does it probably helps her rather than hurts her.
And - here's a confession - if I had been governor and a cop had tazered his own ten year old kid, I would have wanted him fired, too, and might have even fired the official that wouldn't do that.
Here's the first clue: If it's not about the economy or the war, or something important to the lives of most people, it's a distracting media freak show.
Of course there are many, many other blogs where they want to talk about it. That's also fine with me. Helps keep the level of media-driven chatter down here.
