Looks like Governor Palin has a little more house cleaning to do in the Alaska State trooper’s union before she moves to Washington.

Whitey tape

What is the latest on this tape? I read it really does not exist or can't be confirmed.

"...She also broke the back of the sleaziest oil lobby company that ever existed - Veco - they are in jail for bribery, and 3 of our legislators are in jail for accepting those bribes..."

That alone explains why they're so terrified of her that they'll do anything to destroy her. When she gets to Washington and figures out how many of them are in deep with every sleaze ball special interest (ala Pelosi's multi-million dollar "wind energy investments" w/T. Boone Pickens. You know, the real reason she's blocking domestic oil exploration, drilling, and production), she'll clean them out.

This trooper’s a cop. I’ve always thought there’s a fine line between being a cop or a robber. Both love the excitement. He’s been married four times. He has been written up many times by his superiors. He tazed his twelve year old stepson. He wanted to take out his father-in-law. He appears to fit my profile.

Palin’s defense team should subpoena Sen. French’s emails and phone records and scour them for contacts with DNC officials or those with connections to Zero’s campaign. If any contact can be ascertained, the whole mess will look like the dirty trick it is.

Palin will shake this off like water off a duck’s back.

She has the bully pulpit now. This trooper was a disgrace with a long documented history. No real person in america is going to give a rat’s ass even if she really did pressure people to get him fired, because he SHOULD have been fired.

IMHO: Even if this “october” report says she 100% definitely pressured to get this guy fired, even if they produce VIDEO of her ASKING for him to be fired, nobody is going to CARE. They will CHEER her for standing up to yet more corruption!

I think you’re right.

In the worst case scenario, she may have abused her power to have him removed, but the guy apparently had long since deserved it. Even if she was wrong, she was still right.

An earlier said Anderson Cooper did an interview with the trooper and he didn’t balme Palin. I don’t know how to link but maybe this helps

Speaking of Troopergates, all this while NYS's own Troopergate scandal goes uncovered by the MSM.

'Rat state pols using members of the NYS troopers for their own personal Gestapo and nary a peep from the press.

Go figure.

SNORT.

We need people like Sarah Palin. She is a good leader.

The other day, a guy on a local (Seattle) political blog was going on and on about an alleged scandal involving Palin and a state-owned dairy farm in Alaska. I’ve seen no reference to that “scandal” anywhere else - does anyone know anything about it?
