G Gordon Liddy

While Sarah Palin chides Barack Obama for supposedly “palling around with terrorists,” the Governor of Alaska may want to take a look at John McCain’s “palling around” with convicted criminal G Gordon Liddy.

G Gordon Liddy served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers.

According to Palin’s qualifications of “pallin’ around”, John McCain and G Gordon Liddy are practically blood brothers. McCain and Liddy have been longtime friends and McCain has publicly stated “I’m proud of you, I’m proud of your family.” He went on to say, “It’s always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great.”

And the question is, Did Sarah Palin, like John McCain, celebrate and consider Liddy’s terrorist activities to be “principles and philosophies that keep our nation great?”
