Sarah Palin - Troopergate: Special Counsel Has Email and Phone Records That PROVE Palin Pressured Commissioner Monegan

By Paulette on  From letustalk.wordpress.com
It has been confirmed that the State of Alaska has hired a private lawyer to represent Sarah Palin in an investigation that she abused her powers as Alaska’s governor.   Attorney Thomas Van Flein is representing Palin and other members of the her office involved in the probe. Palin is being investigated by Alaska’s legislature over allegations arising from the sacking of the state’s public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, who was fired earlier this year. It’s alleged that Monegan was...Read Full Story

Apparently Palin Is As Bad A Vetter As Is McCain

By simmobilezinfo on  From simmobilez.info
But, alas, there IS substance… and is it ever extreme! The TV report below on Palin’s ethics problems in Alaska was aired on August 14th. Was McCain’s so-called vetting operation so lame that they missed this? I mean it was on the biggest TV station in the state. And as for Palin’s earth-shattering approval ratings… well 87.8% of people who took this poll think she’s lying about Trooper-gate. And McCain is trying to sell her to the American public– despite her thin resume and lack of...Read Full Story

McCain VP Pick Has History of Clashes

By thepublicrecord on  From pubrecord.org
The political career of Sarah Palin, Sen. John McCain’s vice presidential pick, has been marked by conflicts, score-settling and her own claim that she faces “enemies – powerful enemies.” But the 44-year-old first-term Alaska governor is a favorite of right-wing Christian groups and was hailed Friday by one organization as “a true Christian” who is “pro-life and pro-marriage.” She also has favored the teaching of creationism in Alaska’s schools. After the surprise announcement Friday, the...Read Full Story

The Guy Sarah Palin Fired Was a Trailblazer, Too

By coping on  From coping-with-life.com
I may be one of the few people in the continental United States who could tell you who Walt Monegan is without having to read a news story or a Wikipedia entry on Sarah Palin . All you probably know is that Palin, the Alaska governor whom John McCain picked as his vice presidential running mate, is being investigated because of claims that she or others in her administration abused their power or improperly pressured Monegan to fire a state trooper who is Palin's ex-brother-in-law. Palin...Read Full Story

The Rise and Fall of Sarah Palin

By avandekamp on  From avandekamp.wordpress.com
Her shit does stink After telling Charlie Gibson she “welcomes” the investigation into her firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan, Palin now has second thoughts. Figures; where at first it seemed fun to be the VP candidate (and a great reason to buy some new lipstick!) she is now slowly realizing being in the public eye isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. For instance, people suddenly hold you, like, accountable . Who expected that?! It must be the Democrats’ fault! After Alaska...Read Full Story
"I had the pleasure of working with Walt on the WSIN Board of Directors for the past couple of years. He is a consummate professional and we will miss him. I don't know what brought this on but Alaska is losing a great leader and member of law enforcement."
- Karl Godsey of Soldotna, AK on Topix

"I'm a supporter of Sarah Palin but this firing doesn't pass the smell test to me. I'm not sure why the governor fired Monegan and I understand that he serves at her pleasure but a few things bother me.

1. Monegan in his position as public safety commissioner was in her "cabinet". If you're going to fire a cabinet member, you should have the fortitude to do it to their face. He served in an honorable manner and she owed him that much. To send her lackey to do it seems cowardly to me.
2. To offer him a position that was subordinate to his old position knowing all along he would never take it makes her look even more disingenuous. I am sure this was a face saving thing for her. It didn't work.
3. Not giving a person a reason when you reject them is blatantly unfair and it makes people not want to serve.

He served his state for something like 35 years. He deserved more. I feel the governor owes us citizens an answer besides, "it was time for a change"."

Santorum’s contraception boom — “We’re all Catholics now,” said Mike Huckabee — won’t hold up. Because we’re not. This race could well go to a brokered convention. If Jeb Bush is proposed, so Sarah Palin should be minutes later. She is now and always has been the singular Jacksonian voice in the original Tea Party phenomenon; the only one who can bring it to the mainstream. Her absence from the primary race has left a vacuum and no substitute...
