Since McBush could not be bothered to vet Gov. Palin, the media and the Democrats are digging furiously into Sarah Palin's past. So far the best nugget seems to be the fact that her seventeen year daughter, Bristol, is expecting a child. A potentially damaging affiliation with the secessionist Alaska Independence Party has been denied by an AIP party official. But another official says Palin attended an AIP convention. Mark Chryson, chairman of the AIP from 1995 to 2002 -- told ABC News that "Palin was at the convention in 1994. She was there. Whether she was a card carrying secessonist Chryson cannot say. "She may have been, I do not know," he said. Their records don't go back that far. Her husband Todd was a member from 1995 to 2002, but has since dropped his affiliation. Palin's former evangelical church is also feeling the heat and glare of national media attention. The Wasilla Assembly of God church shut down its website Wednesday, saying that its server could not handle the traffic. The site contained speeches of the Pastor, Ed Kalnins, and a video of a speech delivered by Sarah Palin to a graduation ceremony in June. However, Huffington Post has posted parts of her speech on its site. In the speech Palin asked for prayers, "that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan." Sounds like crusader talk to me. The photo is of high school varsity hockey player Levi Johnson, who describes himself on his My Face page as a "f**ckin' redneck" and who "will kick ass" if you mess with him. He fathered Bristol Palin's illegitimate child. Wackydoodle inquires: "He's a red blooded 'merican alright, but does he know anything about them furin affairs?"

Palin Past Under Scrutiny
