Palin Abuses Power

Is there anyone who doesn't abuse power when they get in office? It just seems to go with the territory. Sarah Palin violated her state's Ethics Act in the events surrounding the firing of the state's Public Safety commissioner, an investigator for Alaska's state legislature has concluded in a report approved this evening on a 12-0, bipartisan vote by Alaska's Legislative Council.

Take note. It as a 12-0 bipartisan vote!

Would you be surprised if she denied the report? In fact the McCain team put out their own report ahead of this report to hopefully tamp down the damage. Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin denied Saturday that she had abused her power as Alaska's governor, a conclusion reached by a state investigator in a report released the day before.

Palin violated state ethics law by trying to get her former brother-in-law fired from the state police, a state investigator's report for the bipartisan Legislative Council concluded Friday. "Gov. Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda," the report states.

Ah but that's just politics- as usual.

Ahead of Friday's hearing, Palin supporters wearing clown costumes and carrying balloons denounced the probe as a "kangaroo court" and a "three-ring circus" led by supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Sure, blame Obama! The state senator managing the probe, Sen. Hollis French, fueled those complaints with a September 2 interview in which he warned the inquiry could yield an "October surprise" for the GOP.

Surpirse? Ethics violations by an elected offical a surpirse? Not even with Sara Barracuda is this a surprise, unfortunately. It's just politics!
