Flutterby™! : Unfair snipe of the moment

Ya know, I'm not one to play the "For the childrunnnnn" card, but it just clicked... Two years ago I saw the connection between Republicans and pedophilia, but the McCain campaign has really brought this particular Republican perversion out in the open: Not only is John McCain attempting to pass off Barack Obama's efforts to protect our children from pedophiles as something else, now Talking Points Memo is reporting Sarah Palin's firing of Walt Monegan was because he was seeking federal funds to combat sexual abuse:

...According to Peggy Brown, who heads the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, Monegan wanted to use the federal money to hire retired troopers and law enforcement officials, and assign them to investigate the most egregious cases of sexual assault -- including those against children.

Seems to me that this may be an example of Republicans protecting the interests of their campaign contributors going beyond just the usual government graft and corruption...
