http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/oct/12/uselections2008-sarahpalin; quote: "But the Palin fall-out promises to be damaging because Troopergate is an embarrassment that is entirely self-inflicted.

But after the dreadful rollout to the national media and now 'Troopergate' , Palin has gone from saviour to liability with a swiftness that has amazed even watchers of her meteoric career rise."
