LOL. I didn't think you would. However, the state legislature and the US legislature are EXACTLY the forums that conduct investigations of the executive branches of the state and country, respectively. That is the way our state and country's constitutions were written. Again, you show your ignorance. And by the way, the investigator was hired by a Republican-controlled, bipartisan Alaskan legislature and signed off by that same legislature. So even your fellow Republicans are apalled at Palin's abuse of power and violation of their state's ethics laws. Only very blind and biased people would defend Palin at this point:

Palin denies all wrongdoing and says the report is politically motivated. However, the investigation was started before Palin was chosen to be the vice-presidential nominee, the Republicans control the state legislature, and the report was released yesterday by a unanimous vote of the bipartisan Joint Legislative Council, which had oversight on the investigation. The investigator, Steve Branchflower, is a retired prosecutor with a reputation for integrity. None of these facts suggest a political hatchet job. In fact, the president of the Alaska state senate, Lyda Green, a Republican from Palin's home town of Wasilla, said: "The problem with power is that people pay attention to it. And it's very easy to get beside yourself and use it in the wrong way. And we do have to leave personal business at home." |
