4. I wonder why he is holding a 2 hour news conference?
Could it be he has video, or audio evidence?

8. Yeah. Without video it's worthless. The "Mucaca Moment" would have passed unnoticed if not on tape
Even though it was witnessed by a hundred people or more.

And even if he has an audio tape, the Palinites would just claim it's Tina Fey.
