As Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin settles back into her job as the state's chief executive, a new ethics complaint filed Tuesday after her interview with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren says Palin already is improperly mixing her official duties and broader political ambitions.

By Kyle Hopkins Anchorage Daily News ANCHORAGE — She's a national political figure and one of the world's most famous people. She's also governor of Alaska.

As Sarah Palin settles back into her job as the state's chief executive, a new ethics complaint filed Tuesday says she's already improperly mixing her official duties and broader political ambitions.

The charge: Palin broke state ethics rules by holding national television interviews about her run for vice president from the governor's office.

The complaint comes as Palin's personal life, her prospects as a future presidential candidate and everything she says and does continues to draw headlines.

Take heart, my FRiend. At least we know it will be well-deserving liberals that they inflict the pain on. Hopefully lots of them.

Many people serve in capacity while keeping an eye to the future. That's not to say Palin will shirk her responsibilities as governor in the meantime. This is ridiculous.

Certainly puts the lie to the ‘Palin is a one-time phenomenon’ claims.

They still want to take shots!

This too shall pass. You really have to wonder how far the moron class is willing to go to win their way. I think the Bush DS, followed by the Palin, Paranoia, is a clear indication that they are willing to go the distance, and therefor worthy of our concern and action.

The tragic irony of it is that 0’s voters come mostly from the big cities, and when AQ attacks, it will be in the big cities.

It’s like many of those 0 voters will have committed suicide by ballot box.

I’m not laughing and I’m not gloating. It will be a tragedy. An avoidable tragedy.

While contemplating the sheer hypocrisy of the article in question, should perhaps the author not given some consideration to the multitude of senatorial candidates who have been ignoring their constituents for the better part of two years. Proving forever, that stupid is a terminal disorder effecting the connection between brain, mouth and hand.

You are absolutely correct. I am shocked, simply shocked, to discover that elected officials give interviews to the press... Especially press that ask intelligent questions...

So, first the complaint was “she is avoiding interviews”, now they will file ‘ethics” charges because she gave an interview?

*shakes head*,

I don’t think Sarah would make it through the Republican primaries with the nomination. Word from Mississippi is that Haley Barbour is running in 2012. Term limits prevent him serving another term as governor. If Haley runs, he will will swat Sarah away like a Magnolia State skeeter. Plus, it appears from post-election analysis that women went 2-1 for Obama in New Hampshire and North Carolina, spurning Sarah. I don’t know why they would change their minds in four years.

some people have too much time on their hands. we should file a complaint on anything that a dem personality does from an official office no matter what state it is.

Right on both counts, in fact I’m almost to the point of tracking down barney and christopher and taking over 100,000 dollars worth of personal wealth vengeance out on their sorry asses. At least the bank housing my CD’s hasn’t gone up in smoke yet.

Fortunately I’m not retired, though 68+,

I have a job, that is not yet subject to downsizing, too much work for the time available, and barely able to physically function on a day to day basis, but I have a lot to be thankful for, number one I’m not a member of the UAW, or a large company CEO expected to work for peanuts.

Ethics complaints in government like EEO Complaints are a dime a dozen. They are supposed to remain confidential. The funny thing is whats his face may have actually broken a real law when he announced the filing of it.

Sometimes it gets really hard to keep up with the new definition of what is ethical and not ethical.

C'mon, it's really quite simple. If it's a Rat or RINO, it's ethical. If it's an honest Republican, it's not ethical.

See how simple it is?
