Sarah Palin's Church Burns

Oh, great, just what we need--something that will give right-wing nutjobs fodder for conspiracy theories for the next twenty years:

A "suspicious" fire devastated the church attended by Alaska Gov. and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Friday night in her hometown of Wasilla, the church's minister said.

--snip--

The newspaper said Palin released a statement after the fire in which she said she stopped by the church Saturday morning and offered an apology to the assistant pastor "if the incident is in any way connected to the undeserved negative attention the church has received since she became a vice presidential candidate."(emphasis mine)

The right-wing religious wackos will interpret her statement as laying the blame for the fire on Democrats. Expect them to start crowing about the way they are "under attack" and are "being persecuted" by those evil liberals--even if the fire turns out to be due to some mundane cause or if it was caused by some stupid kids messing around.
