There is some speculation in the media, by which I mean the real media- that being people with neckties and make-up artists, not unshaven bloggers in their underwear (and some men, too) that John McCain's team dropped the ball regarding the vetting[1] process of Sarah Palin.
We're inclined to agree.
That's why we here at FameCrawler, home of all things fameish and crawlesque have decided to help you, the voter. We've done some pretty extensive drinking vetting ourselves over the weekend (McCain, you owe us a house each) and have some interesting information on Mrs. Palin, some of which is actually true!
Here is a list of the items we uncovered without ever stepping foot in Alaska (not that there is anything wrong with that):

[1] From Wikipedia:
Vetting is a process of examination and evaluation. Specifically, vetting often refers to performing a background check on someone before offering them employment. In addition, in intelligence gathering, assets are vetted to determine their usefulness.
In the United States, a party's presidential nominee must choose a vice-presidential candidate to accompany him or her on the ticket. Prospective vice-presidential candidates must undergo thorough evaluation by a team of advisers acting on behalf of the nominee. In later stages of the vetting process, the team will examine such items as a prospective vice-presidential candidate's finances, personal conduct, and previous coverage in the media.
To vet was originally a horse-racing term, referring to the requirement that a horse be checked for health and soundness by a veterinarian before being allowed to race. Thus, it has taken the general meaning "to check."
