Nowhere in the news article did I read that the Alaska State assembly has found "no abuse" of office. The article is about a report written by Sen. McCain's campaign committee.

Where does it say that Gov. Palin has been exonerated by either herself, or the assembly?

The state trooper should have been fired by his superior, before the divorce. I see no documentation that the superior tried to do the firing prior to said divorce. IF there had been attempts to fire this scumbag trooper before, and was countermanded by the Gov., I could see a problem. If no attempts were made to fire his butt, the superior should have been released.

However, the case revolves around budgetary considerations, and a re-assignment to another position, which Monegan choose not to accept. His choice... no harm, no foul.

The slant in the news article gives me the impression that Todd Palin was alone while making phone calls from the Gov.'s office. It was written with that slant to impress upon the reader that something sinister was happening.

I would suggest a wait and see approach to THIS case before we allow OJ and Bundy a free pass due to one's inability to read with comprehension.

"Today's report shows that the Governor acted within her proper and lawful authority in the reassignment of Walt Monegan," said Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapelton. "The report also illustrates what we've known all along: this was a partisan led inquiry run by Obama supporters

Of course they have throw the "partisan" line in.

However, we know that:

The report, which was commissioned and released by a bipartisan state legislative panel made up of 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats

Oops!
