When you're questioning someone's honesty you might want to be truthful about what you're doing when you're called on it. It would just seem to be the less hypocritical path.

But that's evidently not what happened when Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin came back in her campaign plane last night to take questions from reporters, the first time she's done so in a month.

ABC News' "Political Radar" blog reports that Palin continued the line of attack she has used in recent days on the campaign trail, raising questions about Sen. Barack Obama's association with William Ayers, the former leader of the 1960s radical Weathermen group.

Specifically, she questioned Obama's truthfulness about his tie to Ayers, then denied she was doing so, which it seems would seem to automatically raise questions about her adherence to truth.

When she said "I think it kinda peeks into his ability to tell us the truth on, not only on association but perhaps other things also" is that not questioning his honesty?

Why she couldn't just admit that she was questioning Obama's truthfulness only she knows.

But it's obvious that when you suggest that someone's lying, as she clearly did, that's a moment when you might want to be scrupulously honest yourself.
