More on Palin


CNN.com: Has this little nugget about Palin. It looks like her hands may not be as clean as one might hope in her position.

"Palin's term has not been without controversy. A legislative investigation is looking into allegations that Palin fired Alaska's public safety commissioner because he refused to fire the governor's former brother-in-law, a state trooper.

Palin acknowledged that a member of her staff made a call to a trooper in which the staffer suggested he was speaking for the governor.

Palin has admitted that the call could be interpreted as pressure to fire state trooper Mike Wooten, who was locked in a child-custody battle with Palin's sister.

'I am truly disappointed and disturbed to learn that a member of this administration contacted the Department of Public Safety regarding Trooper Wooten,' Palin said. 'At no time did I authorize any member of my staff to do so.'

Palin suspended the staffer who made the call."


We will definitely have to watch how this one plays out. It looks like her personal life gets very confused with her public life. It might be seen by some as vindictive and spiteful. It appears on first blush that she was caught doing something blatantly unethical and threw her staffer under the bus to save her political skin.
