The Arctic Fox, "Troopergate" and the Idiotaditarod
So, it appears that Sarah Palin, the "Arctic Fox" has approximately the same level of disregard for the law as the current pretendsident.
via mudflats (hat tip to "no blood for hubris"), the Troopergate Investigation Report by Mr. Branchflower (in part).
Finding Number One:
For the reasons explained in section IV of this report, I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) provides
“The legislature reaffirms that each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust.”
Palin was cleared of wrongdoing (probably because so many people refused to testify or perjured themselves for Sweet Jane) in several other areas, but the one she was found guilty of is enough that if she was a democrat there would have been stories all over the networks last evening, for hours. The MSM is carrying the story, but the few pieces I've read so far say that Sarah Palin was only perihperally involved and that it was her husband who really ran the "Get Walt Monegan, bagged, stuffed and mounted" show.
So, okay, suppose we buy that? That means that Sarah Palin is
a.) Unable to determine that her husband is conducting a campaign to get Mr. Wooten, her ex-brother-in-law fired--said campaign being conducted at a table several feet from her own desk in the governor's office.
b.) Aware of and supportive of her husband's machinations.
What is to prevent Sarah Palin's husband, should she become VP from moving his conference table into an office in the Naval Observatory building and going to work on problems of an international nature? Oh, wait, he won't do that. There's no place to practice his skidoodling in D.C. Whew, I had me worried for minute there!
Should I change the name of my blog to the "Sarah Palin Anti-appreciation Pages"?

Lettin' hubby Todd do all the dirty work is an effort to hide behind the old curtain of "plausible deniability." She's not yet as practiced in it as Reagan, Nixon, et al, but she certainly has demonstrated the potential to be ranked right up there with them someday. That is, if she's not impeached or indicted first.
Sharon:
Those were my thoughts. Apparently we are somewhat smarter and, certainly, a bit more cynical than the "professionals" of the MSM.
