Palin's Personal Life Catches up With Her

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- With the election less than two months away, investigators for Barack Obama's campaign report they have damaging information on Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

The group of lawyers sent to Alaska on a fact-finding trip report that Palin, a strong supporter of family values, hangs her toilet paper the wrong way.

"Everybody knows you hang the roll with the little flappy thingy coming from the bottom," said an Obama spokesman. "It just shows how out-of-touch she is with the American people. If she can't manage her own bathroom, how can she manage this country?"

The information comes from a lawyer who spoke with a cousin of a friend who's daughter went to a birthday party of a mutual friend of Palin's daughter, Bristol, MSNBC reported early Sunday morning.

When reached for comment, Obama was in disbelief. "In all my months in the Senate I've never seen anything like it. The thing that bothers me the most is, um, she uses 2-ply toilet paper. Across the country people are using single-ply because of the failed policies of the Bush administration."

An email sent to Palin went unanswered because the account is closed.

The toilet paper story is expected to be a hot button issue in the first of three presidential debates that begin Friday.

Regardless of what happens in the debate, the revelation brings a new confidence to the Democrats.

DNC Chairman Howard Dean expressed his excitement by saying. "We finally got her."
