...Phelps [Sept. 8]. It may be true that Phelps had the advantages of technology in breaking Mark Spitz?s speed records; however, Phelps-with his laser-sleek swimsuits and streamlined swimming caps-competed for his eight medals against other athletes with the exact same advantages.

Questions have been raised about his qualifications for the top law enforcement office; Colberg wrote his Ph.D. thesis on the Alaska State Fair (held in his hometown of Palmer, just down the road from Wasilla), and his legal experience is mainly in worker's compensation cases.
