It seems that the Alaskan inquiry into Palin’s abuse of power as Governor to pressure subordinates into firing her ex-brother-in-law was right and wrong.  Well, that was money well spent.  Thanks Alaska.

You see, according to the investigation by the Alaska Legislature Governor Palin was abusing her power by trying to pressure the public safety commissioner to fire her former brother-in-law.  But she was well within her rights however to fire the public safety commissioner after he refused to fire said brother-in-law.

“Such impermissible and repeated contacts,” the report states, “create conflicts of interests for subordinate employees who must choose to either please a superior or run the risk of facing that superior’s displeasure and the possible consequences of that displeasure.” The report concludes that the action was a violation of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.

The report says she knowingly “permitted Todd Palin to use the governor’s office and the resources of the governor’s office, including access to state employees, to continue to contact subordinate state employees in an effort to find some way to get Trooper Wooten fired.”

Further, it says, she “knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda.”

Sound confusing?  That’s because you’re not a politician and haven’t been schooled in the art of surreptitious morality riddles.  Now shut up and go shopping or we’ll report you to the DHS.

Besides, Palin’s a maverick bitches, she don’t need to “follow rules”.  She’s an outsider that abuses her power for her own best interest, pew pew.
