ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket.

I am so surprised.
Well, no the report didn’t. The report actually says ...
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.
The rest is eye wash.
They’d prefer to keep troops who threaten to kill family members and taze their 10 year old kids be kept on the force.
Oh and thats not even the start of what this bozo did.
HUH? It says that?
Refute it, then forget about it. Palin’s popularity will not be hurt.
Remember this election is about Obama. Attack, attack, attack.
Matt Apuzzo is an illiterate space cadet who can’t read. Since he’s an Obamanoid Tingler that works for Obama’s Ass. Press, I’ll bet he didn’t even TRY to read the report.

Have you got a link? :)
Yes, it’s no surprise. Sarah ruffled a few feathers in the Alaska good-ol’-boy’s club and now it’s payback time.
Nobama will have an attack ad out within the hour.
"Mindreaders find Palin Guilty"
I swear this was written by Michelle Obama!
Two things come immediately to mind. First the report includes as evidence of her violation of Alaska ethics law actions she took before she was governor. Secondly the report never does state just how she benefited or her family benefited from her actions or how her actions were actually detrimental to Wooten. Calling up and requesting status reports and saying why you think someone is unfit to serve is sure as hell not the same as trying to illegally or unethically influence a course of action. No one said that they made a finding because they feared retribution by Palin or because they had been promised compensation for doing so. So where the hell is this so called violation?
Also what the heck does a divorce judge’s snarky remark about Palin’s sister’s earning capacity and Wooten’s possible job loss have to do with anything at all. That should be stricken from the record as irrelevant. I mean is Branchflower claiming this is proof that Palin was using her office to get Wooten fired?
The whole thing is major BS and I hope Palin strongly rebukes the findings.
Sounds like due diligence!
What if this guy had done something even worse than the things he had already done. Then the state would be facing a lawsuit. You just can't keep a bad cop on the job and expect the public to respect the law.
Thanks for the summary. I didn’t want to read the nonsense since I know there’s nothing here.
crAP lying headline.
Too bad these AP jerks leave out the part where they conclude the firing was “proper and lawful”. This can be easily spun.
“Nobama will have an attack ad out within the hour.”
Obama would be best to ignore this, if he doesn’t I think Rev.Wright will soon be invited to the party.
Which bad news are these Obama flunkies more interested in?
She might become the next VP of the U.S. with some power over their sorry donkeys.
She and McC might lose this run; in which case, Sarah will continue to be the Governator of Alaska with lots of power over their sorry donkeys.
Smart move you dumb basses, what a bunch of chowderheads.
