She needs to point out what the report is really saying: it would have been entirely proper for her to dismiss Monegan because of his efforts to undermine her policies. Once Wooten attacked Gov. Palin's family, however, and Monegan failed to do anything about it, then she should have been ethically obligated to keep Monegan.

That's really what this boils down to, and she should express it in those terms. Although liberals often accept such logic when it's concealed, even a liberal should recognize the absurdity of it when expressed in simple form.

I have to disagree some.

She had every right to fire Monegan.

Todd Palin had no right to use state offices to talk to officials who were subordinates of the Governor about trying to fire Wooten.

Let me reiterate. Wooten is pond scum. It’s irrelevant. The spouse of a Governor doesn’t get to do what Todd did because the target is a flaming bleep.

Here’s another point.

Does her husband not have the right as a private citizen to complain about a violent and incompetent police officer?

If he has fear for his own family, is he supposed to keep his mouth shut?

Does his right as a citizen mean nothing?!!!

The findings do not tie her directly to the pressure to fire Wooten.

I think if there’s an appeal process, they would have a damn good case for appeal.
