Todd Palin had unusual access to wife's staff

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin remained in the dark while her husband repeatedly asked top state officials to help get his former brother-in-law kicked off the state police force, Palin's husband and top aides said in affidavits provided to The Associated Press.

Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, is the focus of a legislative investigation into whether she abused her authority by firing the state's public safety commissioner to settle a long-standing family dispute. The commissioner says he was fired after resisting pressure to fire Mike Wooten, a trooper involved in a bitter divorce with Palin's sister.

This Troopergate thing is murky and hard to get a definitive line on.
Seemingly there were legitimate grounds for firing Mr Wooten.
On the other hand Mrs Paliln's record would seem to reveal a pattern of partisan and arguably petty firings. And it's interesting that the strategy here seems to be that in order to reduce the damage, her husband has volunteered to take the fall for her if the shit does indeed hit the fan....

Well she's at least good for a few things like.. laughter and the occasional wank. Her pussy is so hot. Really, she said that during the debates. ;)

AFA, you are not qualified to be a moderator. I am disappointed at you.

Shame on you, AFA !

I do not just sit as arm-chair Monday night quarter-back, Mike Wooten has been married and divorced for 4 times, four times !!!

Mike Wooten actually gets drunk on the job as a trooper in Alaska.

I personally went to South Chicago to look at Obama's mansion and his people in South Side Chicago.

Obama earmarked 1 billion dollars but his people are dirt poor living in the third world and killing each others in South Chicago.

Obama may look good but he is no good ! Obama is not even for his only black people in South Chicago. I was warned not to go into South Chicago to actually talk to people and what I saw is shocking. Black living under the overpass, under the bridge, sooo poor and Obama is living in a multiple million dollar mansion. Obama is no good. I am not a supporter of McCain either.

So AFA, go to Alaska and actually talk to people and do interviews, the trooper is a jerk ! He should be fired but Sarah Palin is also stupid too !

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state's public safety commissioner.

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.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska lawmakers have emerged from a private session in Anchorage where they spent more than six hours discussing a politically charged ethics report into Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of her state public safety commissioner.

The legislative panel began its public session by discussing whether to release the report's findings. The investigation was examining whether Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, fired a state commissioner to settle a family dispute. The report was also expected to touch on whether Palin's husband meddled in state affairs and whether her administration inappropriately accessed employee medical records.

Critics claim Palin fired Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan after months of pressure on him to fire Mike Wooten, a state trooper involved in a nasty divorce and custody dispute with the governor's sister.

Lawmakers indicated they planned to release the report even though there was disagreement about its findings.

"I think there are some problems in this report," Republican state Sen. Gary Stevens. "I would encourage people to be very cautious, to look at this with a jaundiced eye."

The South Side isn't that bad dude. Yes, it has it's little areas where bad shit goes down, but every single in the United States has those areas. I've been to the South Side a bunch of times and it's not nearly as bad as you paint it to be. There are also white people, Spanish people, Asian people (etc) living underneath those bridges as well, soooooo...:dunno:

As for Obama having a big ass mansion...what does that have to do with anything? The guy worked hard and saved up his money so he could give his family a good lifestyle. Why should someone be put into the category of "bad" just because they have more money than you?
