Palin Pre-empts State Report, Clears Self In Probe
Yahoo News ^ | 10/9/08 | Matt Apuzzo

On the eve of a report on a legislative panel's abuse-of-power investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, campaign officials released their own report clearing her of any wrongdoing.

Palin, running mate to Republican presidential nominee John McCain, is the subject of two inquiries into whether she abused her power by firing her public safety commissioner. The commissioner says he was dismissed for resisting pressure to fire Palin's former brother-in-law, a state trooper.

Lawmakers are expected to release their findings Friday.

The report the McCain-Palin campaign released Thursday night says the firing was based on a budget dispute. Since then, the report says, the matter has been muddled with innuendo, rumor and politics....

Headline is misleading as is the commentary re ACORN. She isn’t supposed to defend herself or tell the truth about what happened??????

Unfortunately, Sarah is the victim of a political witchhunt by a partisan democrat with a mule in the race. May the “October Surprise” they plan for her fly right back in their faces.

Here we go steve-b, for attempting to equate the Governor's complaint about a state trooper threatening to kill her father with Acorn's attempt to subvert American democratic processes, I'm going to flush any respect I might have had for you down a toilet. So there:

I wouldn’t think very highly of a person who thought it was acceptable for a police officer threatening to kill my parents, tazering my nephew, drinking on the job and shooting moose illegally.

Would any one of us not be outraged at this behavior? And at the officials who allowed it to happen?

What is your hangup on this issue? She fired the dumb SOB who she had every right to fire. Maybe you can join the democrats to see if Cheney and Rove get prosecuted for firing those 8 Attorneys General.

I have a question, what's the difference between a friend of David Duke, and a friend of Rev Wright? Would you vote for a friend of David Duke?

Another ... What do Buraq Hussein Obama and Osama bin Laden have in common? Don't know, OK, here is the answer — They both have friends who bombed the pentagon.

Now let's see, who is this Obama fellow and what was Buraq doing in Kenya in 2007, campaigning for the Marxist Riala Odinga? And what about all those terrorist Muslims that Odinga pals around with? And does Buraq Hussein Obama plan to bring the Kenyan race riots to the USA after he loses the election?

Does anyone care why Sarah fires her staffers? I know I sure as hell don't.... Have you Obamanuts thought of trying macaca again?

Did he ever deserve respect in the past? I haven’t seen any input recently that would indicate that he was due any.

Good idea but the only outlet that wants to hear any reason in these matters (And give air time to same) is FNS.

Doubt Olbermann or his ilk are interested in the truth of this matter or in getting it out to anyone who might have a brain.

Two questions there ~ it's late ~ but I can say this about that, steve-b would probably have liked to have helped Palin's ex-brother-in-law do some killin' out there ~ if he could stand the cold.

The local people, including would be murderers, are tough. Alaska has some rugged environment.

Maybe I missed the good stuff, but my recollection of steve-b’s recent posts seems to bring to mind someone gleefully peeing in everyone’s Wheaties.

What is up with you? If you are so discontented with McCain just say you will vote for Obama and be done with it. I respect that more than a sniveling malcontent.
