What the Troopergate Report Really Says

via Time:

"Friday's report from special investigator Stephen Branchflower to Alaska's Legislative Council answered some basic questions about the political and personal bog known as "Troopergate".

Is the Palin administration shockingly amateurish? Yes, it is. Disturbingly so."

Amateurs are not what we need at this point in history.

Palins Abused Power In Alaska

As the Republicans desperately try to sling mud, grasping at whatever connection they can make between Barack Obama and a person of questionable character from 40 years ago, the headlines of today's paper says it clearly: The Palins abused power in Alaska, violated ethics rules, treated their subordinates terribly and lied about it all. And Todd Palin, in particular, was a mad man. He made 36 phone calls over the years to get he ex-brother-in-law fired. Let it go, First Dude.

This is your “maverick” and ethics reformer who is going to clean up WaRshington? A pathological liar?

The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.



This is what is happening now, today. Not decades ago. These same conservatives who who give George Bush's alcoholism and cocaine abuse up until he was 40 a free pass. It's a joke.
