“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 39.52.11O(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Alaska Statute 39.52.11O(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.”

Finding Number Two

I find that, although Walt Monegan’s refusal to fire Trooper Michael Wooten was not the sole reason he was fired by Governor Sarah Palin, it was likely a contributing factor to his termination as Commissioner of Public Safety. In spite of that, Governor Palin’s firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.”

How bogus does it get? “A contributing factor”? That’s ALL? THAT’S abuse of power? The conclusion absolutely does NOT follow from the premise.

So? The nation of Islam, through Louis Faracon, says Oboma is the Islamic Messiah who will change the world. According to the Koran, he's the one who will bring on Armageddon. O'Reilly just showed the clip.

Sheesh! Aren't they missing the biggest story of the day here?

Politic hit piece. This is really shameful. I read through the deposition submitted by the Palins' attorney. They had a totally clear cut case for firing Monegan. Not only that, but they had a legitimate cause for firing that crazy trooper. It's outrageous that this whole thing even got this far. I'd like to know what Alaskans think of this because from where I'm sitting, it looks like a political circus designed to make an affective and ethical governor look bad.

the key in that whole thing is:
