My day is finally over....but I sit here fuming. The illegal idiots holding court on Sarah Palin’s “abuse of power” for firing an employee who serves at her pleasure has been released. A senator on the committee called in and said she was within her rights to fire him (which she didn’t do), but that she broke some ethics thingy by not making her husband stop pursuing the firing of the trooper who threatened his father-in-law, tassed his nephew, etc. Keeping in mind that the investigator, and his wife, have multiple conflicts of interest!!

Then the news came on and they said she was guilty of all sorts of ethical violations and on and on. I am so p*ssed right now!!!!! This whole investigation has been a witch hunt by the Sarah haters in the house and senate (WHO DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO WHAT THEY DID!!!).

OK, deep breaths....breath in breath out.
