It's also laughable that carranza likens this to Hill and Bill's Travelgate. Travelgate was plainly a bid for repaying big donors with money by allowing them to take over the travel biz at the WH:

en.wikipedia.org

Hill only narrowly dodged an indictment bullet because the evidence of her lying was supposedly not sufficiently strong. [Had her name been Scooter Libby or Martha Stewart, she'd have gone down.]

I predict the liberal media and the Dems will do all they can to make something of the "troopergate" issue with Palin.

Personally, I'm nore concerned by the Empty O's ties to frauds, strongmen and racists than by Palin's actions in trying to rid her state of a potential liability in the form of her former BIL. Even if she used some strong arm tactics.

Bottom line, the guy she fired worked at her pleasure. Her BIL had all protections of the civil service and union.

This isn't a financial scandal like acquiring property at less than market price from a felon.

[also, c2's la de dah reaction to a trooper who tases a child is nothing less than insane. Alaska is lucky there was no lawsuit over that. In CA, there would have been, in a heartbeat.]
