Obama Pays off the Mudslingers

Just disgusting:

Alaska State Sen. Kim Elton, one of the leading officials to pursue an investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin during the heat of the presidential campaign, has taken a high-level job in the Interior Department.

Palin reacted in a short statement Monday, the day Elton announced his move to Washington.

“Senator Elton pledged his allegiance to President Obama last summer,” said the governor. “We wish him well as he moves on and hope that he uses this job for Alaska’s benefit.”

Elton did the job – when Obama needed some muck to be thrown at Palin, Elton was found scurrying around under a rock and was set loose on the governor. It profits a man nothing to gain the whole world, and yet lose his soul – but for Interior?
