September 13, 200818 yr Wait. Let me get this straight. "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.' " I haven't followed this thing much except on BGP. This is what I gather: 1. Palin never told Monegan to fire Wooten 2. Palin fired Monegan, who had a state trooper who attempted to taser his stepson, drank in the car, and threatened his former father-in-law with violence. Is part of Monegan's job hiring and firing police officers? If so, he probably wasn't doing a great job if this guy was on staff. 3. The person who is overseeing the investigation donated $2,000 to the Obama campaign, and the investigator ceded control of a subpoena list to another Obama backer?
September 13, 200818 yr You're right.....the legislative counsil is made up of 15 members, 10 republicans and 5 democrats.

October 11, 200817 yr ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/P/PALIN_TROOPERGATE?SITE=MAQUI&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
October 11, 200817 yr Politics suck... I can't imagine why any decent person with any sense at all would put themselves and their families through the jokes that pass for our political process and media. No wonder we have all the Bozos we have making a mess of things in Washington. No one else wants to work in a circus.
