I just figured out what all of this Palinmodium reminds me of...Bernie Kerik for the DHS

[Godhumor]

From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Kerik#Nomination_as_Secretary_of_Homeland_Security

"Attorney General Alberto Gonzales vetted Kerik during that nomination period.<20> But on December 10, after a week of press scrutiny, Kerik withdrew acceptance of the nomination. Kerik stated that he had unknowingly hired an undocumented worker as a nanny and housekeeper who had used someone else's social security number. Similar violations of immigration law had previously caused the withdrawal of the nominations of Linda Chavez as Secretary of Labor by George W. Bush and of Zoe Baird as Attorney General by Bill Clinton.

Shortly after withdrawal of the nomination, the press reported on several other incidents which might also have posed difficulties in gaining confirmation by the Senate. These include: questions regarding Kerik's sale of stock in Taser International shortly before the release of an Amnesty International report critical of the company's stun-gun product; a sexual harassment lawsuit; an affair with Judith Regan; allegations of misuse of police personnel and property for personal benefit; connections with a construction company suspected of having ties to organized crime; and failure to comply with ethics rules on gifts."

Seriously, this is the same damn thing and it is playing out in the same damn way.

1. There is just a dash of Harriett Miers as well, perhaps? NT

2. Oh it's a mix, throw in Miers incomplete question form with the woeful vetting of Bernie

And you got Palin.
