Palin Abused Power in Trooper Case, Alaska Probe Says (Update1)
By Tony Hopfinger
Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Alaska Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by letting her husband press for the firing of a state trooper, a legislative probe found, while adding that she acted within her authority when she dismissed the state's public safety commissioner.
``Governor Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda,'' said the state legislative investigator's report released yesterday in Anchorage. The report also said Palin's dismissal of the commissioner, Walt Monegan, was a ``proper and lawful exercise'' of her power to fire department heads for any reason.

Okay...this is NOT political. Really.
But how can someone (especially a governor fer cryin' out loud) get in trouble for "knowingly permitt[ing] a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda''?
(If you must know, I wouldn't vote for Sara Palin for Mayor of Moose Turd, Montana. But this sounds like a load of crap to me.)
