Troopergate Report: Palin Abused Power Unanimous but Contentious Vote to Release the Report to the Public By JUSTIN ROOD Oct. 10, 2008

(AP Graphic) Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired her Public Safety Commissioner this July, a state investigation has concluded.

The Alaska legislature voted to release the several-hundred page report on the "Troopergate" scandal, a state kerfuffle which has come to haunt Gov. Sarah Palin's vice presidential bid. The scandal centered around her firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan, which Monegan and others believed was part of a personal vendetta against one of his subordinates.

The 14-member, Republican-dominated Legislative Council met in closed session this morning with the investigation's special counsel, Stephen Branchflower. After seven hours of exhaustive review, the legislators voted unanimously to release the report to the public.

"I'm going to vote to release it, but it's not a vote in total agreement," said Republican Sen. Gary Stevens.

"There's not a consensus for the conclusion," said GOP Rep. Bill Stoltze. He said he expected there would be "robust and vigorous intellectual debate on that in other corners."

Stoltze said he had received hundreds of e-mails from all over the country calling for the public release of the report. The state added extra servers to handle the traffic expected when the report is posted electronically to the legislature's Web site.

The Legislative Council voted unanimously to initiate the investigation in late July, after Palin fired former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. The probe was to determine whether she fired Monegan because he refused to take action against a state trooper who had been through a messy divorce from Palin's sister.

Palin denied wrongdoing and initially voiced support for the investigation. But after she joined the national Republican ticket, she and her supporters said the legislature had no right to investigate her, and accused legislators involved in the probe of supporting Democratic Sen. Barack Obama's presidential bid.

A lawsuit to stop the probe, which echoed many of the campaign's charges, was thrown out yesterday by the state Supreme Court.

What are you talking about? Oh, don't forget that Mao killed 30 million people.

Right?

Fact is, my old friend, Ms. Barackuda broke the law and she's toast. It's just a fact, uncovered by a fact-finding investigator.

Facts are Ayers broke the law and Obama is his good friend. Ayers didn't get a life-term in jail only becasue of a technicality. Obama hangs out with terrorists and think a story about a governor firing an employee that abused his wife and threatened to kill her is going anywhere? Funny! Their conclusion that she abused her power means nothing. Unless a court of law determines that it carries no weight other than to smear a popular governor.

You guys trying to change the subject?

Them other fellers ain't running for VP on the phony "Christian wife and mother" ticket!

She didn't have to be perfect until she tried to pass herself off as honest, professional, truthful, loyal.

If she'd cheat on her old man with his business partner and try to wrongfully axe another honest, dedicated public servant like her ex brother-in-law (her dad's a liar, is her sister a lying slut, too? Runs in the family I guess) we sure don't want her a heartbeat way from the presidency!

Hell, she'll let the oil companies run the whole show! They'll be drilling in the name of The Lord, and any place they damn well please! ("There's oil under THE USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL, you say? WELL, GET THAT RUSTY TUB OUTTA THERE!")

You two jerkoffs need to keep your cheap porn thrills and your politics separate.

They put a big-legged woman on the ticket and the Pubs go nuts!

Excerpt from The Daily Reckoning:

We like Sarah Palin; we don't know what she is talking about. But she is the only candidate we can't make fun of it for.

Consider this. You will find it hard to follow. Because it is not in English; it is in Palinese:

"That's what I say that I like every American I am speaking with we're ill about this position that we been put in where it is taxpayers looking to bailout, but ultimately what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, um, helping the, oh, it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and, and, putting it back on the right track; so health care reform and reducing taxes and reigning in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans and trade... we have we got to see trade as an opportunity not as, a competitive, um, scary thing, but one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we we've got to look at that as more opportunity, all of those things under the umbrella of job creation, this bailout is part of that..."

But just because the woman is a half-wit hardly disqualifies her from public office. The average county commissioner or governor is not much better. And at least one of America's finest presidents was probably little smarter than a moron.

We refer to Warren Harding.

I don't agree with the bailout. But some people think it is necessary. What she is saying is very simple. She thinks that if the whole economy goes down it will affect lots of different things people want done. Such as health care, jobs etc.

People saying she is dumb for these comments are just looking for something to nitpick about imo.

Not nitpicking. She's really not the sharpest bulb in the drawer.

She is brighter then Hillary. Hillary was utterly unqualified.

She is brighter then you too obviously. Afterall she is a self made governor and you don't pull that off being a dummy.

She has mostly good values.
