Palin GUILTY of Abuse of Power, Says Alaska Panel
Does America really want a vice president that is liable for abuse of power?
According to MSNBC, “A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state’s public safety commissioner.”
You read that right. Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin has been found guilty of abusing her power as governer.
The McCain campaign can’t outtalk the facts on this one. McCain’s running mate not only appears to be an ignorant idiot, she also abuses the great power of her office. What a sad train wreck.
The article continues: “The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn’t the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor.
The Republican vice presidential nominee has been accused of firing a commissioner to settle a family dispute. Palin supporters have called the investigation politically motivated.
Monegan says he was dismissed as retribution for resisting pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor’s sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute.
The legislative panel met for six hours before making a unanimous decision to release the so-called “Troopergate” report. The vote was 12-0 to release the report, except for certain parts they consider confidential.
Alaska lawmakers on Friday began reviewing the lengthy and politically sensitive investigative report focusing on whether Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin abused her authority as governor.
The first-term Alaska governor has been accused of firing a state commissioner to settle a family dispute. But the report is also expected to touch on whether Palin’s husband meddled in state affairs and whether her administration inappropriately accessed employee medical records.”
