In all seriousness she and the first Gentleman abused their power in firing of Walt. Now I know the gov had the authority to fire anyone the way she did it was unethical hence the board sees that she did abuse her power

I DID hear that, A.C., funny, isn't it?
Oh, and the cop is still a cop from what I read. If he was so dayum bad how come the they didn't get rid of him?
She abused her power...yeah right. The idiot tased his 10 year old son, illegally shot a moose, drank in his patrol car, made death threats. Good on you Sarah that you called this loser out to the idiot who wouldn't fire him. He had no business being a state trooper. We need more people like Sarah in charge.
Shot the moose, and Sarah and her family butchered it and shared the meat among themselves. You do realize Palin et al knew what he did, but didn't have a problem with it (even joined in in the moose eating) until the divorce with her sister. THEN it became a problem. Why not before ?

It is a state law. So there is "potential liability." Might get censured. Could be impeached, but likely won't because it's Republican controlled. None-the-less, her credibility is shot.... |

Polly-
I'm glad you're "happy" this evening....My ONLY question for you is when you are going to hold the "Magic Negro" and his plagiarist sidekick to the SAME HIGH MORAL AND CHARACTER STANDARDS????
By the way, you apparently missed the FOLLOWING Yahoo story:
[link to news.yahoo.com]
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state's public safety commissioner.
The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn't the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor.
The Republican vice presidential nominee has been accused of firing a commissioner to settle a family dispute. Palin supporters have called the investigation politically motivated.
Monegan says he was dismissed as retribution for resisting pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor's sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska lawmakers have emerged from a private session in Anchorage where they spent more than six hours discussing a politically charged ethics report into Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of her state public safety commissioner.
The legislative panel began its public session by discussing whether to release the report's findings. The investigation was examining whether Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, fired a state commissioner to settle a family dispute. The report was also expected to touch on whether Palin's husband meddled in state affairs and whether her administration inappropriately accessed employee medical records.
Critics claim Palin fired Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan after months of pressure on him to fire Mike Wooten, a state trooper involved in a nasty divorce and custody dispute with the governor's sister.
Lawmakers indicated they planned to release the report even though there was disagreement about its findings.
"I think there are some problems in this report," Republican state Sen. Gary Stevens. "I would encourage people to be very cautious, to look at this with a jaundiced eye."
"Government doesn't work. You work, I work, Federal Express works, Microsoft works, the Salvation Army works, Alcoholics Anonymous works, but government doesn't" Harry Browne
"It is amazing how many people think that the government's role is to give them what they want by overriding what other people want" Thomas Sowell
"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them."

What Court delivered this verdict? Can you cite the case nimber? The name of the Judge?
Methinks you do not know what the word "Guilty" means.
But I didn't really expect you to, the dumbing down has worked far beyond expectations.
Small piece of advice: If you ever have a thought treat it gently, it is in a place no thought has ever intruded before. |

Alaska panel finds Palin abused power in firing By MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer
6 minutes ago
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket.
Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain.
The inquiry looked into her dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, who said he lost his job because he resisted pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor's sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute.
The report found that Palin let the family grudge influence her decision-making even if it was not the sole reason Monegan was dismissed. "I feel vindicated," Monegan said. "It sounds like they've validated my belief and opinions. And that tells me I'm not totally out in left field."
Branchflower said Palin violated a statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.Palin and McCain's supporters had hoped the inquiry's finding would be delayed until after the presidential election to spare her any embarrassment and to put aside an enduring distraction as she campaigns as McCain's running mate in an uphill contest against Democrat Barack Obama.
But the panel of lawmakers voted to release the report, although not without dissension. There was no immediate vote on whether to endorse its findings. |
