ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A state legislative panel has concluded that Sarah Palin abused her power in the firing of the state's public safety commissioner.
The findings were released after lawmakers emerged Friday from a private session in Anchorage where they spent more than six hours discussing a politically charged ethics report into the firing by Gov. Palin.

The report says:
"[...] Governor Palins firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.
So now they can read her mind? What a bunch of crap!
Is it or is it not up to her who serves in her cabinet?
Thanks for the thumb nail sketch of the findings. Very helpful.
Those facts wouldn’t convict a dog of being a canine.
This week the MSM repeated over and over “the economy is the only thing that matters” with the Ayers issue.
Wonder if that will continue with this/sarc
Todd was the “guilty” party here, and I use that word in quotes. Wooten is scum. At the same time, Todd stepped over the line in trying to get him fired.
The Governor’s spouse is not supposed to be going around to all the officials in the state trying to get a cop fired. Reading the report, they really don’t have much on Gov. Palin except at the beginning, and then she dropped it. Todd Palin kept at it, and it was inappropriate.
Wooten has grounds to sue Todd Palin in civil court. He has a decent shot of winning. Although it makes no real difference since they are a couple, his grounds against Gov. Palin are much weaker.
This report isn’t great, but it could have been much worse. Todd needs to apologize and fall on his sword in an interview saying that Gov. Palin wouldn’t have condoned what he did. Then it will be over.
Yep, you're probably right. I'm getting really disgusted with McCain and his inept campaign...
Regarding Troopergate: All the sheeple will remember will be: "Sarah Palin Abused Her Power" and will vote for Obama The Messiah. Mark my words...
Yeah, I'm really becoming a pessimist...
God Save Us All.

POST OF THE DAY.
As hard as the Dems tried to twist things in the report, there was no wrongdoing!
What the Dems doing the investigation did to Palin was worse than anything she did!
That's the way I read it also. Very weak "findings." Nevertheless, the MSM and left will run with it.
This is a Republican legislature, right?? Sheesh!
MSNBC has an absolute LIE. It says in the document directly "Governor Palin's firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire..."
MSNBC should be sued for their nonsense.
I’m surprised CNN is the one reporting it correctly, they found she broke no laws. Glen Beck must be running the editing board tonight- that, or they are trying to steal Conservative viewers away from Fox..
The Daily Show on Comedy Central is more accurate than MSNBC.
I was optimistic til today, only hope we can undo what obama will do in the next four years, another carter as far as I am concerned.
As the paper reported it, they found that she “might” have had personal reasons, and then they go on to say that there were also “other” reasons.
I have never seen such an obviously political finding by a supposed “ethics” panel. Amazing.
Quite honestly, I am surprised that Microsoft still allows theie MS to be a part of MSNBC.
Never Give Up, Never Surrender.
It is Obama’s race to lose, and the name Odinga may hand that loss to him.
