Published Oct. 11, 2008Regarding Sarah Palin's record of being a mavericky reformer of the Alaskan political scene:
Title of link to article on front page:
"Troopergate Report: Palin Did Not Break the Law"
Title once the article opens:
"Report stings Palin over Troopergate flap"
...and then to clarify:
"Stephen Branchflower, a retired prosecutor hired to conduct the investigation, said Monegan's firing was lawful. But the pressure Palin and her husband put on him, he said, was not."
I guess they're still holding out for readers who only do the "above the fold" thing.

But, since Palin didn't do anything illegal and is only charged with "letting" her husband do something, it seems that the Democrats are trying to make a bigger mountain out of this tiny ant hill.

That said, she can plausibly deny any wrongdoing by parsing the issue and staying focused on her firing of Monegan, which was legal. The final consequences of the ethics violations will not be meted out until sometime after Palin returns to her routine as Alaska governor.

In fact, I know many jobs just like that where it is not state government!!!
It's a fact of life, even though it should not be, and nothing about it is news to me. A waste of printed space to even report it.
Life really is not fair!!

That being said, imagine how angry you'd be if you heard reports of Mary Easley running around state offices pressuring people into firing people.
