Rep Power: 28 | | If she can do this as governor, what can she do as Vice President?
And she has been giving US all the stuff about how she is not the old boy system, but is bringing new change. Quote:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - 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.
Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain.
The inquiry looked into her dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, who said he lost his job because he resisted 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.

There's still three weeks left. | There is quite the shitstorm brewing around Obama. That a man could have not one but several shady characters sponsoring his political career tells me one of two things (1) Obama knew and didn't care or (2) he didn't know and that makes him as stupid as a box of rocks.
So which is it lefties? Is your man corrupt or stupid?

This is a huge story. Huge. Palin is unethical. Unethical.
What is she became president? You have a president who was found to have acted unethically in a previous public office.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
