Too bad for her. Exoneration too late to do any good (not that it would influence the election results substantially)

1. Exoneration how? She was found guilty by that panel a couple weeks ago.

2. Not quite exoneration -- it was a Personnel Board of her appointees.

5. Its not quite an exoneration
It says that the board found she didn't violate any ethics laws regarding Troopergate. But it did express concern about using private e-mails to avoid public records and oversight. So in itself, its 50/50.

6. From the comments on the Anchorage Daily News website
we, the people, aren't too happy about this. It doesn't help Sarah at all -- not out there in the Lower 48 and certainly not here.

14. Good luck with her after tomorrow.
Wish I was still there to vote her out.

7. Not to worry,
Palin will screw up again and the next time she will not get off so easy. Palin loves power and thinks she can get away with anything. That is the way it is with criminals.

8. The GOP-controlled media will bleat about it tomorrow.
Without mentioning how she picked the members who decided her fate while ignoring the earlier legislative and bipartisan decision against her.

9. "Exonerated" by the thugs she put in charge of this phony investigation and who she can fire at will
Not much of an investigation but I sense your concern.

10. Exactly! Which one of those people would vote against her...
knowing she's going back to Alaska? She's quite the vindictive little girl. Jobs, reputations, etc. were on the line. Did we think it would come out any differently?:puke:

11. So, can we organize another committee and make it 2 out of 3?
What an utter sham. Those Palin-appointed hacks probably investigated Tina Fey instead.

Oh, well. She'll be a footnote to history in another day or so. :)

12. "Palin exonerates herself" is hardly worthy of any news program
