Oooh..... this is such a big find..... the Dems have had months to prepare for their attack on Palin in case she was the choice, and this is all they
could come up with:
The Associated Press reports, "More recently, she has come under the scrutiny of an investigation by the Republican-controlled legislature into
the possibility that she ordered the dismissal of Alaska's public safety commissioner because he would not fire her former brother-in-law as a state
trooper."
The commissioner, Walt Monegan, was fired on July 11, because Palin "wanted to take the department in a new direction," according to Bloomberg.
"Monegan than alleged that he had been pressured to fire state trooper Mike Wooten, who was married to Palin's sister and was involved in a
contentious divorce, according to the Anchorage Daily News."
The Bloomberg story continues, "Palin has denied any wrongdoing. The state Legislature voted on July 28 to hire an independent investigator to probe
whether Palin, her family or members of her administration had pressured Monegan to fire Wooten, according to the Daily News."
Sorry, but this is a total non-issue.
And btw, what happened to all the insistence that the only fair game for debate were the issues, and not the candidates' character or personal
life???
