Palin's Going Down

posted by rbruck 10/10/2008 03:22:09 PM EST

But not in a good way. (wink, wink)

Apparently the Alaskan Senate Legislative Panel got the 300-page Troopergate report, along with 1,000 pages of documentation, sometime yesterday. We can expect that either Palin got the report at the same time, or one of the Republican lawmakers from the Panel would have briefed her by now on what is in the report.

From what we have seen since then, this report must not be favorable to Sarah Palin.

To begin with, the McCain/Palin Campaign released their own report from their own "investigation". Given the tight secrecy that Palin has been using to keep the activities of the Governor's office confidential, she would not have released any information at all if there was nothing significant to dispute.

But there is more.

Just before going into a closed-door meeting, Republican State Rep. Peggy Wilson had this to say:

"This is a pretty serious thing and I don't feel comfortable even talking about it until I've got it all read," Wilson said. "I don't know if anyone else, maybe they're speed readers, but I spent hours on it yesterday and I didn't have time to read it all."

Apparently there must be something in that report that is "a pretty serious thing," which does not bode well for Sarah Palin.

The committee chairman, Democratic Sen. Kim Elton, did not delay the closed-door meeting.

We DO live in interesting times.

BITCH, YOU GOING DOWN!! TAKE THAT YOU HATE-MONGERING, LYING SACK OF MEAT NOT FIT TO BE CALLED A WOMAN!!!

Yahoo headline:

ALASKA PANEL FINDS PALIN ABUSED POWER IN FIRING

The report found that Palin let the family grudge influence her decision-making even if it was not the sole reason Monegan was dismissed. "I feel vindicated," Monegan said. "It sounds like they've validated my belief and opinions. And that tells me I'm not totally out in left field."
Branchflower said Palin violated a statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.
"I disagree," said Palin attorney Thomas Van Flein. "In order to violate the ethics law, there has to be some personal gain, usually financial. Mr. Branchflower has failed to identify any financial gain."
The statute says "any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that (public) trust."

Unanimous (none / 0)

Pear,

The panel was UNANIMOUS in their decision. Can you believe it. Even the re THUG licans on the panel agreed the sack of rancid meat is guilty of betraying the public trust. Must have some honest rethuglicans in Alaska, or either they were bullied around by her too and this is payback. You know that rethugs won't go along with anything unless there is some personal gain involved. Oh, as to her lawyers comment. WTF else is he going to say? It's the evidence read by the BIPARTISAN panel that matters.

PEACE OUT Sister

Not only will I still say "Thanks, but no thanks" and "In what respect Charlie?", but I think she'll also go down in history as one of the most disastrous VP pics of all time.

She is eaten by a grizzly bear that had narrowly escaped one of her "predator control" hunts.

Don't worry, this is just the famous Bart with his trainer.

That video convinced me that I just might be able to take a bear. It looks like all you have to say is "get off". Who knew?

The bear would just spit her out. Like Desertpear said. She is a sack of rancid meat. Looking at the big picture tho, she is a rethuglican. That explains in part the corruption involved.

: bears (none / 0)

I found some pretty horrible stuff on bear hunting on Youtube yesterday. I was afraid to post it because some people would really have their views of humanity shaken. Grizzlies are hunted as trophies in Alaska now, with just their skin taken. And this even in places where the bears have become habituated to tourists. Lots of people use the excuse that "if you don't manage wildlife, the animals will suffer and die from disease and starvation." As a biologist, I can tell you that that is bullshit, although of course populations of species change wi th human disturbance. It's all about humans prioritizing what species they want to have; not about the animals.

You can bet these yahoos care nothing about ecosystem health. or animal suffering. They want their bearskin rug, just like the one in Palin's office.

Maybe they can team her up with Hasselbeck for a primetime show. I'd call it "Cuda and the Ditz". Finally! A whack job conservative show you can whack your-- er uh... I mean they're both very insightful is all.

their ability to speak, you also have the makings of a pretty good MILF threesome.
How relentless would the creepy guys (a la O'Reilly) who work at Fox be to Palin.
She would either need a 50 gallon drum of pepper spray or lubricant, depending on how you view her I guess.
