Sarah Palin Embezzlement Scandal - Alaska Governor Sarah Palin resigned because of an embezzlement scandal involving her actions as Mayor of Wasilla and receiving huge financial favors from Spenard Building Supplies.
The Sarah Palin embezzlement scandal now has Federal indictments being issued this month that would have crippled Palin’s ability to govern effectively.
Note that there is no qualifier. No "rumor has it" or "informed sources." Just a flat claim that federal indictments will be issued.
Now if you go to the website, the date shown is still 7/3, but it now says.

Again, no qualifier. And the two entries though identical in point, they are obviously different, although you can't tell it from the website.
I found no entry of any kind after 7/3.
Of course Palin's lawyer threatened to sue another blogger. Maybe this one caught a clue with that and when the FBI said on 7/5/09.
"There is absolutely no truth to those rumors that we're investigating her or getting ready to indict her," Special Agent Eric Gonzalez said in a phone interview Saturday. "It's just not true." He added that there was "no wiggle room" in his comments for any kind of inquiry.

Now, if you Google a11news you will go to Which is a site that is selling domain names. It also notes:
US news blog wiht some entertainment news
I see that their typing skills are about on par with mine. But I digress.
Now, if you Google a11news Palin you you pick up 1260 hits.
So okay. a11news zaps out some trash and so do others. Then the FBI takes the most unusual step of stepping in and saying it isn't true. So you think that would be that. Nope... Nine days later on the Pluckforum for the Tennessean, what do we have?

This posted by a person who calls themselves TheTrueVoM. He also thoughtfully provides a link to the a11news posting. (In previous lives he was True Voice of Moderation.)
Now the Tennessean has pulled his original post, but he has re posted it and it remains up, along with some nasties about Palin.
Now someone will pick up the new posting, seven days after the FBI said it was wrong and run with it again.
etc., etc., etc.
And the political process is destroyed. Not with a bang but a whimper.
