STATEMENT FROM MCCAIN-PALIN SPOKESWOMAN MEG STAPLETON

Friday, October 10, 2008

ARLINGTON, VA — McCain-Palin 2008 spokeswoman Meg Stapleton issued the following statement on today’s release of Stephen Branchflower’s report:

“Today’s report shows that the Governor acted within her proper and lawful authority in the reassignment of Walt Monegan. The report also illustrates what we’ve known all along: this was a partisan led inquiry run by Obama supporters and the Palins were completely justified in their concern regarding Trooper Wooten given his violent and rogue behavior. Lacking evidence to support the original Monegan allegation, the Legislative Council seriously overreached, making a tortured argument to find fault without basis in law or fact. The Governor is looking forward to cooperating with the Personnel Board and continuing her conversation with the American people regarding the important issues facing the country.”

I hate "spokespersons".

They're like lawyers.

Sarah needed to come out and say this herself.

you know, when you posted the report

i scanned through a dozen or so pages.

it’s odd it does have the “abuse of power”,

but then it goes on to say that the governor acted

within her rights.

obviously the report was released as a friday night bombshell.

Excellent. Most Americans will love Sarah Palin even more for firing a corrupt cop who used a taser gun on a 10 years old kid. The stupid liberals have given Palin a huge victory here :)

You don’t take on the establishment without repercussions. They’ve been trying to get her back for ANYTHING for a while. In the summer, they complained because she brought her daughter and infant son on an official trip.

Tell me about it, why do people insist upon farting in the wind?

Alan Colmes smirk of glee on Hannity and Colmes tonite as he reported this story, was absolutely sickening.

Meanwhile will the media be busy investigating odumbos complicity with acorn, his muslim outreach directors meeting with radicals or that Gov Palin doesnt recycle? Inquiring minds want to know

McCain can’t through her under the bus … to many former Obama friends there already, no room left. ;-)

As I said in an earlier post, this could be a huge beartrap they have fallen into. They would wind up having to defend a near homicidal rogue cop over an innocent family. That ought to appeal to women — not!!

Even if they actually tried to impeach her she could try this in the public arena. They would look like fools. Played right, this is a net plus.
