Troopergate-Report out today
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Alaska lawmakers have begun reviewing a
lengthy and politically sensitive report that could prove
embarrassing to Sarah Palin when it's released later today.
The report focuses on whether the first-term Alaska governor
abused her authority by firing a state official. Public Safety
Commissioner Walter Monegan says Palin and her husband pressured
him to fire Mike Wooten, a state trooper involved in a nasty
divorce and custody dispute with the governor's sister. When
Monegan resisted, he says, he was fired.
The inquiry, approved by a legislative committee's bipartisan
vote, began before John McCain named Palin his running mate.
The McCain campaign has conducted its own review of the case and
has found Palin free of any wrongdoing.
No matter what is determined, the last line is hilarious to me. I mean, really? I'm shocked.
