Palin’s alternate reality where war is peace, black is white, and up is down

The Anchorage Daily News is astounded at Sarah Palin’s response to the Troopergate report:

Sarah Palin’s reaction to the Legislature’s Troopergate report is an embarrassment to Alaskans and the nation.

Her response is either astoundingly ignorant or downright Orwellian.

Palin’s response is the kind of political “big lie” that George Orwell warned against. War is peace. Black is white. Up is down.

Courtesy of Rachael Maddow, watch Palin lie, repeatedly and enthusiastically:

Or read the excellent article in The Atlantic, by someone who took Palin’s challenge to read the entire Troopergate report and says Palin is “outright lying” and is petty and vindictive.

    In a desperate attempt to spin this mess, Palin is now claiming that the Troopergate investigation clears her of any wrongdoing, which it does not. We can’t afford eight more years of another administration that abuses their power. Sign this petition urging Palin to stop the lies and walk the ethics reform talk by removing herself from the presidential ticket now: http://go.care2.com/17292327
