Troopergate has quickly devolved into a farce of empty witness chairs and very conventional partisan politics, including the recent involvement of a former New York federal prosecutor (no, not Rudy Giuliani) whom the McCain campaign flew to Alaska to tidy up the mess. His name is Ed O'Callaghan, and his main tactic seems to be to stall the investigation as much as possible. He said that Todd Palin submitted "objections" to the subpoena that needed to be answered before he would take...
