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.

The McCain/Palin camp needs to pull out the big guns aka Rev. Wright.
The MSM won’t allow them to win the election.
I despise the MSM so much I am willing to...
Good Ole Boy Network waxing some poetic justice on Palin...nothing else. Just enough to give the media to talk about over the weekend.
“Governor Palin’s firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.”
Nuff said!
That is right!
So Now lets see if the media will spend quality time with all the STUFF ON the “o”
crickets....
She should sue them and make them prove it in court......get it over with or show she is innocent.
You are kidding right? The left is in control, and this will be spun into something larger than global warming!!
His finding should have gone no further than “she had a right to sack him”
In effect, he went beyond his course of investigation.
This was politically motivated.
“Legislative panel is made of 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats. Are these Republicans stupid?”
Not stupid, but several were, I believe, good old boys (or girls) who had been burned by Palin’s reforming ways.
Whoopteedooda! How does this story rank with Obama being too snooty to visit with soldiers while he was doing his treasonous PR tour in Iraq? Just wondering, because I haven’t seen the networks jumping on what is obviously a juicy story.
So? The nation of Islam, through Louis Faracon, says Oboma is the Islamic Messiah who will change the world. According to the Koran, he's the one who will bring on Armageddon. O'Reilly just showed the clip.
Sheesh! Aren't they missing the biggest story of the day here?
There goes all reporting of Ayres by the MSM for at least this weekend.
The fact that the panel is issuing this now is a sign that we’ve already won on this issue. A few weeks ago the head investigator was saying this report would be an October surprise. Well, it may be October, but nobody’s surprised. If they thought they ould damage Palin more than themselves by releasing it later, they’d drop it on the Monday or Thursday prior to the election.
Why? There is no story. She has the right to fire him for sneezing if she wants to. He's not an elected official. So, can the bum. Who cares?
“The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn’t the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan”
In other words she had reason! The media is the one that made it the ‘sole reason’....I hate the media.
CBS went on for half an hour about the ‘nastiness’ of the McCain campaign this week.....But what they’ve done for 6 weeks solid to Palin is not nasty?
AP = Aweful Press
An army of Socialist attorneys sent to Alaska bent on her total destruction and this is the best they can do.
Ping!
Yeah. Sara should use it to her advantage. Play the "insulted" victim! Make the investigators the agitators.
Ayers? Heck, go right after Faracons speech! Oboma is refered to as the ISLAMIC MESSIA. This is a silver platter if I've ever seen one!
