Gov. Sarah Palin has surrendered important gubernatorial duties to the Republican presidential campaign. McCain staff are handling public and press questions about actions she has taken as governor. The governor who said, "Hold me accountable," is hiding behind the hired guns of the McCain campaign to avoid accountability.

The McSenile Repugs are afraid results of letting the pitbull bitch and her staff cronies handles state business.

Weak. Are saying that elected officials shouldn't be allowed to run for president unless they resign first? Obama has been getting a paycheck from the taxpayers for two years so he could run for president instead of fullfilling his duties as a senator.

Troopergate is going to be in her [Sarah Palin's] favor - (D) Sen. Mike Gravel

The facts are really quite simple. From the Fall of 2007 through mid-2008 Commissioner Monegan repeatedly tried to undermine the Governor's authority by working against her and the administration over the Department of Public Safety's budget.

As everyone knows, this Governor came into office on a reform platform and one of her principal accomplishments has been to reduce wasteful spending. Commissioner Monegan refused to abide by this fiscal reform policy. One of the governor's top Department of Public Safety priorities was to fill as many as 56 trooper vacancies, but the Commissioner re-routed dollars away from these positions and into his own chosen areas of funding.

Last Fall, Commissioner Monegan proposed a 10-year strategic plan that committed state dollars and removed the governor's constitutional budget authority; he also traveled to Washington, DC to lobby Congress for federal earmarks without the Governor's knowledge; and then finished off the year by engineering a press conference that included his friend Senator Hollis French to present the department's own budget just days ahead of the Governor's reform budget.

Wasn't she supposed to be 'the barracuda' and 'the maverick', what's up with that?

Sorry Mr. Gravel but I think, as well as most of the American public, that refusing to testify (and having your husband ignore a subpoena) makes it look like you have something to hide. This would've gone away if she had just been honest and open about what happened. But no, now that she's McCain's Palin, the McCain campaign has to stonewall an actual investigation (that was unanimous in the legislature).

Ah jeez ducks everything was fine until you posted this lie.

The McCain-Palin campaign echoed the charge in a press release it distributed Monday, concurrent with Palin's legal filing. "Mr. Monegan persisted in planning to make the unauthorized lobbying trip to D.C.," the release stated.

But the governor's staff authorized the trip, according to an internal travel document from the Department of Public Safety, released Friday in response to an open records request.

Try again Mrs. Palin.

It's ok cuz all he'll do is come back with something resembling english.

[Shastafarian]

And that DC trip he went on....


"The last straw," her lawyer argued, came when he planned a trip to Washington, D.C., to seek federal funds for an aggressive anti-sexual-violence program. The project, expected to cost from $10 million to $20 million a year for five years, would have been the first of its kind in Alaska, which leads the nation in reported forcible rape.

What a prick!

I guess I scared ducks off with facts. Shame.
