On July 11, 2008, Walt Monegan, the public safety commissioner (or top cop) for the state of Alaska, was fired. On the face of it, there was nothing wrong with that. He was a Palin appointee, and she had the right to fire him. But at first with prodding from his union, and then on his own, Monegan began telling people about the persistent pressure he claimed to have felt, in the months leading up to his dismissal, from the governor, her staff and her husband to get rid of a state trooper named Mike Wooten. Wooten happened to be Palin's former brother-in-law and had been involved in a bitter divorce and custody dispute with Sarah Palin's younger sister Molly McCann since 2005. Monegan's refusal to remove Wooten was, he said, part of what led to his firing. If Monegan's accusations are true, it would be a serious abuse of the power of the governor — not to mention a major blow to her image as a good-government reformer — suggesting that she used her office and the office of many of the state's top functionaries to settle an old family score. On Friday, the retired Alaska prosecutor investigating whether Palin abused the power of her office in the matter asked state lawmakers for the power to subpoena 13 witnesses and the phone records of a key Palin aide. The request is expected to be granted.

I heard about this awhile ago...what a fuckin joke this broad is.

yup

somebody needs to smack her upside the head

she'll probably end up the vp anyway, or someone else who sucks, and so on and so forth like an ever flowing stream of fucking suck and corruption. until we all wither away and die on this endless shithole planet called earth. welcome to america, welcome to earth. FTW!

If that's the case I really hope McCain lasts the whole term

I hope he loses. I don't really want to go to war with Russia or Iran.

lets go to war with all them, who cares. like its gonna make a difference. this worlds fucked anyway

status quo please.

It's Not Your Fault, Give Up Now(tm)

I see what you did there. Clever.

i apologize for the random anger haha. had a lot on my mind earlier. i honestly dont give a crap about politics. rough day haha.

We watched a bunch of Palin videos in my democracy/media class yesterday. Needless to say EVERYONE in that class fucking hates the shit out of Palin now.

She would make such a shitty president. I think that's reason number one I would not select her as VP.

i almost threw up listening to Greg Hill from WAAF defending her stance on religion and politics. i fucking hate republicans.

I hate people that listen to WAAF

:( i was just switching through the radio stations on my way to work

The bitch didn't even know what the Bush Doctrine was. Her "first television interview" is fucking laughable. THIS is going to be the first female VP? Yeah great, that makes us look real good. 10 bucks says we lose our right to vote if this twatferret gets into office.

Backed.

I'm mad.....I'm so MAD!!!! It's just that blah blah blah blah blah blah...get over it douchebags, she's officially a candidate. Now you know how we all felt about Hillary...talk about a fuckin' douchebag.

since when does the US care about who is VP? at least to this degree. anyone remember Quayle getting elected?

since the presedential candidate looks like he is on his death bed.

exactly.

Damn fucking right

I hate democrats!! Obama in the Whitehouse? That would totally suck!! I don't need my taxes raised any higher...

At least he doesn't bring the same shit over and over and over again. people want change dude

Yeah but... A change of what? As soon as the democrats took over the house and senatealmost two years ago, our gas and oil prices went through the roof...

A change for the better. Please tell me which president is hated around the world, Clinton or Bush?

We're spending 350 M a day for a nonsense war....

bennyhillifier

he's raising taxes on the rich to aid in bailing out this country's economic crisis.

the senate/house doesn't have control over the oil prices dipshit.

glad that there's well informed voters out there.

agreed, but Quayle was also a heartbeat away from becoming the leader of the free world. and that didn't scare the shit outta this country during election time. my beef is that McCain is the one to be scrutized, not his whacko running mate. people are geeking out about her pressuring to get a state trooper fired (didn't he taser his 10 yr old stepson?) when they could be going after McCain and his involvement in the Keating Five. i don't know about you, but i haven't heard shit about it.

you say this like the other choice will act differently

our right to vote against what? really if we the american people are responsible for putting either of the "choices" in office, it would only seem like an ironic form of divine intervention that we lose our right to vote on grounds that we are fucking idiots. he'll i'd rather they outright ban voting. at least we'll know we dont have a choice instead of being fed an illusion of false hope

i'm pretty sure her use of "we" is referring to women.
