Remember Palin's discussion last night about her noble efforts to end the atrocities in Darfur by divesting the Alaska Permanent Fund of any holdings in Sudan?
"When I and others in the legislature found out that we had some millions of dollars [of Permanent Fund investments] in Sudan, we called for divestment through legislation of those dollars."
Remember that little nugget?
A BIG FUCKING LIE!
A search of news clips and transcripts from the time do not turn up an instance in which Palin mentioned the Sudanese crisis or concerns about Alaska's investments tied to the ruling regime. Moreover, Palin's administration openly opposed the bill, and stated its opposition in a public hearing on the measure.
"The legislation is well-intended, and the desire to make a difference is noble, but mixing moral and political agendas at the expense of our citizens' financial security is not a good combination," testified Brian Andrews, Palin's deputy revenue commissioner, before a hearing on the Gara-Lynn Sudan divestment bill in February. Minutes from the meeting are posted online by the legislature.

Honestly, what did you expect of the Palin/McCain... er, McCain/Palin campaign? They sure as hell haven't been honest for the last couple of months, and starting now isn't in the cards.
May the the American public make the correct decision.
