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.”

but what do you think of the bush-bash at the end of the paragraph?

doesn’t that tell you something about the leftist wikipedia?

[Lakeshark]

Actually, you go around to all these threads sowing gloom, fear and negativity, you're the one who no longer deserves a response.

And yes, you are pathetic.

[ClancyJ]

Thanks for the info.

And, the trooper was not fired - he is still on the job, taser and all.

[Cyber Liberty]

and Jefferson (I've always been an Adams man)...

You are a cruel man. Me, I liked Aaron Burr. Hamilton was a sharp guy, though...until he got shot by Burr.

[Lakeshark]

Yeah....wiki isn't a great source........

understatement can be a vice.

:-)

The pages called "Findings" in the TOC.

[DryFly]

It would be if I was wrong, but as I said before on this thread I am confident that the GOP will come out of its Palin-induced stupor and realize that she is the political equivalent of Rachel Ray.

""For the record, no one ever said fire Wooten. Not the governor. Not Todd. Not any of the other staff," Monegan said Friday from Portland. "What they said directly was more along the lines of 'This isn't a person that we would want to be representing our state troopers.'"

Good night, what a ridiculous bit of idiocy this witch hunt has been.

[Cyber Liberty]

Hey! I like Rachael! If only she weren’t so fat...

[editor-surveyor]

"and realize that she is the political equivalent of Rachel Ray."

I'd suggest that you google Rachel; there's obviously some huge gaps in your education that need filling.

[wittyone]

Hamilton was a sharp guy

Hamilton was an oligarch. Not that oligarchy is entirely a bad thing...

[Cyber Liberty]

It really is an outrage. I just wish that such a nice, tidy bundle of “She acted unethically” weren’t dropped on the Sunday morning news shows.

[oiler]

It seems so fitting that today we would learn the results of the first of many STALINIST SHOW TRIALS. Welcome to Amerika.

[Cyber Liberty]

Probably why he got shot. By Burr. That or it was over a broad.

[ducking further]

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

I don't want to spend the next 4-8 years here at Free Republic discussing President Obama and his Cronies!

[snarkytart]

Sexist clap trap.

Dig deep, that’s your REAL issue.
What else could it be? She’s the real deal, and she’s a conservative. So what’s your problem? Instead of being snide, tell us explicitly what is wrong with Palin?
She’s not an east coast educated MALE lawyer??

[ethical]

Strange take. Completely disagree.

[wittyone]

It was Adams who spent such a great length of time abroad...

[lying on the floor]

[Cyber Liberty]

Ya can’t fall down if you’re on the floor...

[wittyone]

If you are forced to do so, please don’t spend it entirely in bold, and in such large type. Thank you for your consideration.
