Here's the story from the Alaskan Daily News (where I got it half an hour ago):

She burns people... and she dissed her senior statesmen. Bad thing to do.

I still think she has been thrown under the bus by her own party tho...

I've found the Alaskan Daily News is THE place to go for reporting on all things Palin. You can download the complete report from their website too:

Excuse me. It's the 'Anchorage Daily News' - a McClatchy newspaper.

Great job of vetting McDesperate...

She should be sent back to mooseville in chains-and Prison Orange.
Maybe-when she gets out of Prison-she can run for VP again......

Big Whoop! Bush and Cheney also abused their power and in an infinitely more damaging way than Gov.Palin ever did! So lets hang the bastards - I'll even pull the lever on the trap door!!! But guess what - there ain't no one in the Bush Regime who is ever going to be brought to justice!!! So this big,sick joke is once again on...America!

Maybe-when she gets out of Prison-she can run for VP again......

Not a problem--she's a republican. You won't hear about this after next week.

So Sarah Palin was the right choice after all. I mean come on Dubya definitely Abused His power Dick Cheney Definitely abused His power and now Sarah Palin abused Her power. Why buck a trend You know. Greed On Power. Great Objective Pick John McCain. Greed Over Principles. Republicans In Purgatory.

Larry

no surprise here. the way the lie rolls so easily from her tongue, I'm sure this is just one of many questionable behaviours to be brought to light.

she'll be such a good Fox News personality.

' rolls so easily from her tongue '

wood

There's still a massive storm gathering about the Yahoo email accounts she and her staff used to circumvent Alaskan state law about doing official business through official state email accounts.

Trooper Wooten will have his job in 2 years. Sarah Palin probably won't.

This is a slap on the wrist.

Folks need to understand that it was her husband that was doing the running around--and she did nothing to stop him until months had gone by.

That was wrong.

Sarah will get some heat for this.

But the reasoning behind it--the death threats to the father, the tazering of the step son, drinking in the cop car and illegally killing a moose are mitigating circumstances.

I would have fired them both.

And probably 99% of the people would fire both--certainly the trooper.

I bet 99% of the folks here on the DR would do the same thing as Todd Palin did if they were in his shoes.

"She burns people."

Well, duh, she's a witch hunter.

That anyone as stupid as Reagan could be considered made me give up.

This has just become utterly pathetic, but original (notreally), tragicomedy.

(notreally) => (not really)

"I bet 99% of the folks here on the DR would do the same thing as Todd Palin did if they were in his shoes."

What office was Todd Palin elected to?

McAnkles throws Todd under the bus. For the Greater good of course..

What I wanna see is all the Palindrones try to explain this away. You know - how it wasn't really that big a deal, how it's done all the time, how nobody should worry about stuff like this, how some Democrat dogcatcher did something like this in 1944, so it justifies anything Palin did and more besides...

You know the drill, righties. Get in line and start spinning.

"On the left-side of your keyboard you'll find a key labelled "Caps Lock". You may want to press it."

Actually Jeff, I prefer to leave my cap lock on due to it being easier on my carpal tunnel.

Now....shaddup and get me my Cap'n and Coke!!!

Na Na Na Na hay hay goodbye GOP

Larry

Hey...how did that comment by me get here?

Funny...I don't remember having a drink yet.

MURPHY

This isn't about what Wooten did. It's about what PALIN did.

Keep spinning though.

I doubt Alaska will have a 'Governor Palin' come January 2011. She's toast. Plummeting approval in Alaska.

Plus, she's a secessionist anti-American trollop.

"She Burns People"

And wishes she could Burn Books.

Now where in God's Name are the Righties on this site. You'd expect them to be shootin' moose straight from the hip here in her defense. Or has she become indefensible.

Have you finally woken up to what we have ALL been telling you: Sarah Palin is a Corrupt Moron.

Sure, there may be a case that the Trooper was a jerk and needed reprimanding...

BUT...

There is a right way, and then there's Abusing Power.(wink).

WORST.VICE.PRESIDENT.WHO.NEVER .BECAME.PRESDIENT.EVER!

Don't you know? It's ABSOLUTELY NOT ACCEPTABLE to use political power to right wrongs! If you have an R after your name, you have to just smile and let people walk all over you! Tase his stepson? That's perfectly okay! Get drunk in the cop car? These are PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE things to do to the family of a Republican, and so long as you do so only to Republicans, you should be able to keep your job.

There's absolutely NO EXCUSE for using your position of authority to bring punishment to a scumbag if you're a Republican. NONE!

.....get over it, you double-standard jerkoffs. It's no worse then Clinton getting head privately in the Oval Office. Both were abuses of power. Bill's was harmless, and Sarah's was actually righting a wrong. Have some sense of perspective. The left is supposed to be more mature then the Right, able to understand that sometimes there's slight grey areas in morality.

Palin's pick shows a glaring lack of judgment by McCain.

Vetting? McCain must have thought it had to do with parvo shots

" they'll make Jimmy Carter look like FDR!!! "

Imbecile flag.

Who really cares about trouper-gate? Maybe the pundits and a handful of folks in Alaska. Sarah reminds me of the annoying pseudo-righteous/religious slot that everyone can't stand at the at the PTA meeting - that's enough to turn me off.

Scary to think that there is even a chance she could become President. She may be able to bust a cap and field dress a Moose.... but how ya think she would stand up to Putin? Scary!

Maybe she will be a criminally charged (doubt it) and if she could take it to the Supreme Court - then she could name two Supreme Court cases.

How low can the GOP go?

Never shit on the rungs of the ladder as you are going up.

McCai didn't vett He betted everything on Sarah Palin and well that sunk faster than a 1 ton dude in a georgia swamp. McCain is toast.

Everybody gets a blowjob by an intern. It's no big deal, and happens all the time. Why do people worry about that?

It's not illegal

We have a three-day weekend ahead of us. This would be a VERY good time for Palin to discover the demands of being a mother and wife and governor of Alaska and hunter of mooses conflicts with her campaign requirements. This would be a very good time for her to respectfully step down as vice-presidential nominee for the repulsican party (although personally I think she personifies everything revolting about the repulsicans). Then Grampy Poopy Pants can call on his good buddy Joe Lieberman to step in. By now I bet the RNC would welcome Lucifer himself - sure couldn't be any worse than Palin and we are already use to Darth Cheney!

The panel said she violated an ethics rule but broke no law. But of course, as an illiterate partisan hack and bigot, you didn't know that.

"when you choke off energy supplies"

It's called the Iranian Revolution, soon-to-be-extinct retard.

Too bad the DR lefties couldn't come up with a more sympathetic figure than Wooten. Still, beggars can't be choosers, and politics makes for strange bedfellows, and all that. Which is why they are all so careful to say, "Wooten was wrong, but . . . so was she!! He should have a job, dammit!! There's a right way and a wrong way to handle these things!!" And so on.

So the state of Alaska continues to be graced by a drunk, taser-wielding, spouse-abusing cop. Nice work, guys! If it'll help Obama get to the White House, what's a rotten SOB with a badge? The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Woo Woo Wooten!

Vernon says - "And the 20 million people who've since died because of your meddling puts you on an equal footing with Stalin." I think he was referring to Carter? I think he was President like 27 years ago??? Vernon, please get your meds refilled.

The chickens come home to roost. And I don't care if she does time for this or not. It's just that this ought to be the finishing touch on any dreams of a McBush-Palin administration.

For GOP spin on this nail-in-the-coffin, "Eddie" checks in with "The stock market too a dump today. Good going Nancy!" A deflection, sure, but trying to place the Bush Market blame on Madame Speaker seems too much a stretch even for Repubbers. herm

Heehehe..... This has been politicised to embarass Palin and Americans have been expecting something of the sort to come out. It will not have much impact. Good thing it is out and on balance help Palin to get this off her chest.

Of course, its red meat for Whoopi, Bias Behar, and other feminazis and rabid liberals who loathe Sarah Palin just as they loathed Ronald Reagan.

No big deal....

Well excuse me vermin... his BJ was a big deal and he was impeached by the house.

I think she personifies everything revolting about the repulsicans

And revolting against he United States of America.

There's little as anti-American as rah rahing a secessionist party her husband belonged to and she was 'delighted to welcome' to their convention this year.

It's not about being sympathetic to Wooten, it's about holding politicians accountable when they break the law or do everything they can to skirt the rules. But, knowing where your sympathies lie, and the lying liars they are, it's not surprising you're going to stick up for her. If she'd been a Democrat you'd be screaming to high heaven - and you know it.

Palin is not the first nor do I think she's going to be the last, to abuse their power. She happened to have gotten caught.

I'm not making excuses for her. She should be punished and it's an unfortunate time for the republican party to be dealing with this, but let's be honest....a politician abusing their power isn't something new.

Abuse of power! Utter and complete poppycock of the HIGHEST order! It's not about Wooten--it's about holding politicians accountable! Yeah!!!!!

Methinks Governor Palin should resign in disgrace, in deference to the many liberals on the DR, and for the 20% of Alaskans who don't approve of her, because the Great Mr. Wooten nearly lost his job.

So a show of hands: how many of you would want Mr. Wooten to be assigned to your kids' middle school? Or as your local fish and game warden? How would you feel if you called the police in a remote corner of the Alaskan wilderness, and he arrived hours later, hung over?

Still, you know best. The Moosiah is always wrong, therefore Wooten must not be.

The drip factor is over. A source of embarassment but no big deal....

In fact, in the long run, this experience will help Sarah to exercise power in a more evenhanded and lawful manner in future. VERY IMPORTANT.

Some people have the calling to serve the public by way of government positions. Sarah has a calling and she will get far.

RiR

(AP) Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday.

Does 'unlawfully' mean she did not break the law?

TAKITEZ

So, we should go back to talking Obama's serving on a school reform board with a lot of Republicans and Bill Ayers? Is that what you think is important?

If Palin were a Democrat you'd be screaming your head off.

"Everybody gets a blowjob by an intern. It's no big deal, and happens all the time. Why do people worry about that?"

This is exactly what I was talking about when I said wunna youse righties would say something like "some Democrat dogcatcher did something like this in 1944, so it justifies anything Palin did and more besides..."

Just FYI, we libs view Clinton's blowjob as an abuse of power, since it occurred on company premises and company time. He got caught. He got punished. And that was as it should be, mmkay? Now, when are you righties gonna admit Palin's wrong too, and that she should be in for a few consequences?

McCain lost. Palin lost.

Well, that's what trials are for. Hopefully they have one.

The only question before you is, was Governor Palin breaking the law when she decided that he shouldn't be on the police force anymore?"

LMAO. I can't wait. Have your dog-and-pony trial, and good luck finding 12 citizens--in Alaska, no less--who agree that this POS should find another line of work.

I know how you would vote, though. The family he roughed up was related to a Republican, so he should have a job for life, even though he sucks at it.

Monahan was a good cop. In fact, Palin was praising him just a couple of weeks before she fired him. One reason she gave was that he wasn't doing enough to fight drunk driving, although she fired the Wasilla Chief of Police for wanting to close the bars at 2 am instead of 5 am - moves he wanted to fight drunk driving.

Her excuses for firing Monahan are feeble at best. He was a highly respected 30 year law enforcement veteran.

This isn't about Wooten, it's about Palin's actions against Monahan.

Just as Watergate wasn't about the break in, it was about the coverup.

Oh. Well, in that case, you don't have a leg to stand on. Because the same investigative panel concluded that "Monegan's refusal to fire Wooten was not the sole reason for his dismissal but that it was a "contributing factor." Still, he said, Palin's firing of Monegan was "a proper and lawful exercise" of the governor's authority."

So what the hell are you talking about? Are you going along with the panel's findings, or not?

You're thinking of someone else. It would never occur to me to demand of Obama to disavow Farrakhan, or Reverend Wright, or Ayers. Birds of a feather, and all that. In fact, I think less of Obama for having thrown Wright under the bus, after making such a bluster about how tight they were. Why couldn't he have said, my faith is personal, it's off limits to questions, and Reverend Wright can speak for himself?

For me, Obama and Wright and Farrakhan will always be best pals, Barack's protestations to the contrary notwithstanding.

Nope--I don't get it. Because the report didn't say that. There were other circumstances involved in his firing. Wouldn't it behoove you to find out what those might be, before taking up the defense of YET ANOTHER bad cop who might not be worthy of it?

Last line in the report:

Governor Palin's firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercie of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.

If this had been an investigation about Obama, the headline would read:

Panel Finds Obama Acted Within His Authority

They in fact found that she "abused her power".

Page 8, first paragraph, under FINDINGS:

"Yeah, they found that she was completely within her power and authority and did not act inappropriately. I'm not understanding the headline attached to this at all."

Its a 2-parter. 1. She had the authority to fire him and acted within that authority. 2. The things she did to him (or allowed to be done to him) while he worked for her violated the state ethics laws.

Again-SOME of the ACCUSATIONS were sustained(That's ALL I could find in the Report about it)-BUT NOT ALL OF THEM.
He was disciplined-according to the report-now-I don't know what else went on-but the ONLY thing discussed in the report was him killing a moose without a permit-AND ST SARAH WAS THERE WITH HIM AND ALLO0WED HIM TO USE HER PERMIT(A crime in itself-she COULD have been charged with)
As far as the rest of it-unless I see ADMINISTRATIVE evidence of it(including him (supposedly Tasering his stepson)-it's just so much bs.

Now right(as usual)iswrong

Big deal. A law enforcement officer tases a 10 year old kid who happens to be his step son, and suddenly, L.N.S.S. (Latrine News Services Society) members think they have another Watergate to report on. Palin's husband should be given a medal. Whoever reads this and has a child, how would you feel if a taser was used on same? How about yourself, if you have done nothing wrong? L.N.S.S., who are they? It is not hard to tell. They are not, fair and balanced. They suffer amnesia. They forgot, the Travelgate affair. L.N.S.S. members are best when they are reporting news from original type outhouses, the good old country type. You know, the type that are made out of wood, and when a discharge is made, you hear it when it hits the water below. I know because as a boy scout, I used them. I do not belong to the society because I am not a newsman that pretends to be fair. I am referring to those that feel tingling sensations in their legs, and if females, have biblical names. Keep up the good, fake reporting work, folks. You are not fooling anyone but yourselfs. The public knows that you are, with my apologies to the Platters, Great Pretenders. yoursels. Keep having your castor oil with your cups of coffee.

Well-Mrretaliation-How would YOU like to be accused of tasering a child-if you haven't?
The Report says NOTHING about that accusation-until I see proof-other than St Sarah and her worshipers-making unfounded ACCUSATIONS-It is-and always will be-bull(moose)shit....

YOU stop bein' such a retarded tool.

You asked where it was. By quoting a post of mine wherein I asked you if you "even read articles and the reports available inside of them". I then made it clear by my saying "read articles and the reports available inside of them" I, in fact, meant that this article had a report contained inside of it. It was so clearly implied by my original statement that you were too angry to pay attention or just eager to try and make other people look bad. Seriously, frothing at the mouth or not you have to admit you screwed up there.

Congratulations on getting around to reading enough of it to figure out they discussed the moose, in addition to his admitting that he was given a suspension for his actions.

Since you couldn't even be bothered to click into the article we're actually discussing until it was pointed out to you TWICE, I'll go ahead and do the footwork for you on what, exactly, he was copping to.

Cogent part for Frank to understand:

WOOTEN HIMSELF ADMITS TO TASING THE KID.

"One day -- maybe a year or two before the investigation -- Wooten showed his stepson his Taser. He had just been to Taser instructor school. Wooten told Sgt. Wall that the boy was fascinated and pleaded to be tased."

Doh, posted too fast.

Even if we are to go ahead and believe him, that the boy did, in fact, ask to be tased, hadn't he _just been through_ the training that informed him that the taser is NEVER to be used on children, the elderly, or the obviously diminished of capacity?

Evil intentions or not, at the very least Wooten is a total moron.

"Evil intentions or not, at the very least Wooten is a total moron."

Agreed.

Now, how does that justify Palin abusing her power?

OK Soheifox-you are right-he admitted it-now what?
Yes-I was being a douche.

At the very least he's an asswipe who should be beaten with the carcass of a dead moose.

BUT-St Sarah DID abuse the power of her Office.

Obama won.

Now, how does that justify Palin abusing her power?

Danforth, do you see the part where they said "proper and lawful"? Looks to me like the very people who said she was abusing her power found it to be a justifiable under the circumstances. Kinda like how Clinton wasn't convicted on his impeachment becuase they thought his lie was justifiable under the circumstances.

Damnit, have some sense of fair play! Shades of grey exist. People aren't just automagically 100% wrong just because they're Republicans.

The bipartisan Legislative Council, which commissioned the probe, unanimously adopted the 263-page public report.

The thing that makes Palin look worst of all is that she at first said, "hold me accountable' and then did everything she could to keep this investigation from going forward.

Danforth-
I tend to agree with SoHeiFox on this one. Palin should probably be impeached for her abuse of power, but not convicted in the state senate.

Yeppers Obama won. I believe the Good guys are gonna win this one this Year. Bout damned time too.

"Danforth, do you see the part where they said "proper and lawful"? "

Yeah, right after "abuse of power".

"Damnit, have some sense of fair play!"

By endorsing her foul play?!?

"Kinda like how Clinton wasn't convicted on his impeachment becuase they thought his lie was justifiable under the circumstances."

No, they properly reasoned it didn't rise to the "high crimes and misdemeanors" level. Do you actually believe he should have been impeached for that?

"Looks to me like the very people who said she was abusing her power found it to be a justifiable under the circumstances."

"Justifiable?" Let me ask you this: Should elected people get to use the power of the office to retaliate in ways the citizenry legally can't?

That's the real question, and everything else is tap dancing.

She broke the rules so She MUST be thrown out or Her words about being against corruption are just meaningless. I say She should be an example upon Herself.

...I personally believe Clinton's impeachment should have never made it as far as it ever did, but hey. I understand the need for due process, even if it is just a formality.

"Palin should probably be impeached for her abuse of power, but not convicted in the state senate."

Only if the opposition leader is currently getting someone fired inappropriately.

Mark my words. This is the nail in the coffin for McCain's Campaign.

She broke an ethics law. Not as bad as it could have been, but the whole "good ole small town values" crap McCain has been letting paliin pretend she has?(while shes been lying her ass off btw)

Done. Gone. Over.

Why is sohe allowed to not get a suspension? If you step out of line you get the boot. I guess we all have different rules.

I dunno, rasta...why don't you go look up his address you hypocritical freak?

More to the point, it certainly doesn't rise to the HC&M level, but the concept 'it's okay to abuse the process, because the brother-in-law was a jackass' is dead wrong. Good results with bad motivations don't suddenly exonerate the bad choices.

You shouldn't even be here Jackass/Hardcore/Messiah/ Rastaninja You was permanently banned from Here so You have no room to say ANYTHING about rules. You broke em and yet You come back. AMAZING.

Larry

Just for the record. Day 42 Palin watch:

0 press conferences
0 Sunday news shows
2 flunked interviews

Alexandrite I am not a hypocrite. You are the hypocrite. You want others to get punished for the same offenses you perpetrate but get away with.
