Lawmakers are expected to release their own findings Friday. Campaign officials have yet to see that report ... but said the investigation has falsely portrayed a legitimate policy dispute between a governor and her commissioner as something inappropriate." Well there you go! I'm certain that the Palin campaign's investigation into the matter was fair and balanced.

And it's mostly just because I forget about her!!!

Originally Posted By mele I don't know. This is one of those things that I don't feel comfortable judging on. Who's to say if they feel like siblings? These things are hard to define in any family. It's not like she has something to gain by being an only sibling...no reason to lie about it. Of course, the sibling has more to gain by blabbing to the press about their connection than the other way around. No one's business.

Either way, she doesn't come off as a very genuine person.
