1. sorry- guess this is old - was watching 2nd HB

2. What is 2nd HB?

I think I saw somewhere earlier that a committee had decided she didn't violate ethics; is this what you're referring to?

Too late anyway. Voting starts in 4 hours in Dixville Notch!

ON EDIT: Looks like it's the personnel board that Palin personally appointed: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4364593

So it doesn't mean very much.

3. Now she has to be exonerated in Idiotgate

Not likely.

4. Palin's rigged panel knew they would be eventually fired

if they voted against her. This ia a rigged decision.

New Troopergate report clears Palin

A new report just released -- hours before the polls open on Election Day -- exonerates Gov. Sarah Palin in the Troopergate controversy.




The state Personnel Board-sanctioned investigation is the second into whether Palin violated state ethics law in firing her public safety commissioner, and it contradicts the earlier findings by a special counsel hired by the state Legislature.

Both investigations found that Palin was within her rights to fire Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.

But the new report says the Legislature's investigator was wrong to conclude that Palin abused her power by allowing aides and her husband, Todd, to pressure Monegan and others to dismiss her ex-brother-in-law, Trooper Mike Wooten. Palin was accused of firing Monegan after Wooten stayed on the job

7. That's ok...there are 2 other ethics violations lodged against her.

She's corrupt. And sooner or later she will get smacked hard for her corruption.

Give her enough rope...
