ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A state legislative panel has concluded that Sarah Palin abused her power in the firing of the state's public safety commissioner.

The findings were released after lawmakers emerged Friday from a private session in Anchorage where they spent more than six hours discussing a politically charged ethics report into the firing by Gov. Palin.

Democrats have become like Communists.

They will do anything for the cause, corrupt themselves for the “greater good” of the party and country which they see as the same.

Democrats have no integrity anymore.

If she didn’t fire the bum,
she would have been accused of negligence of duty by the media and the Dems.
And we all know it.
Republicans are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

probably a few of the legislators are up for re-election in November and they’re toast now, having gone after Palin. Look for their names on Obama hiring lists.

Did you honestly expect them to “find” anything different?

They had decided before they even met what the outcome would be.

Even Monegan said she didn’t pressure him, until such time he could help the Democrat party.

It will up to her supporters in Alaska to answer the bell on this one. I mean the political figures in the state.

I still don’t get what was wrong with the firing if she could fire anyone at will for any reason. So, now what?

Read the whole report.

You’ll find that Fox isn’t telling the whole truth.

It’s a panel of known partisans and known enemies.

It means absolutely nothing.

If some jacka$$ tasers my 10 year old nephew I’ll abuse my power too. Most Americans agree with her.

As part of her defending her actions in properly firing Monaghan over his insubordination about the budget, Governor Plain needs to point out that based on the tasering and the threat Wooten made to kill her father, she would have been justified if she had actually been pressuring Monaghan about that instead of the insubordination.
