Alaska Governor Sarah Palin may be talking about cleaning up corruption in Alaska, but the truth seems to be quite the opposite as she currently is under investigation.
As the Anchorage Daily News reports:
The allegations are that she, her family or administration improperly pressured then-Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan to fire Gov. Palin's ex-brother-in-law, state trooper Mike Wooten, who had been in the middle of a custody dispute with Palin's sister.
In July, when legislators started talking about conducting an investigation, Palin denied any wrongdoing and said she welcomed an investigation.
"Hold me accountable," she said.
The Legislature took her up on that offer. But this week, she basically told the Legislature, "Never mind."
Palin, at this point, seems to be playing the Emily Letella role to perfection, ignoring what Alaskans are calling "Troopergate", but the news is sure to obtain maximum exposure in the Lower 48 thanks to the Democratic party and its adherents. Palin is starting to take on a remarkable resemblance
to former Democratic VP candidate Geraldine Ferraro, who was inadequately vetted by presidential candidate Walter Mondale's team, and who proved to be a major embarrassment to Mondale's campaign.
