Palin Files Ethics Complaint Against Herself

Anchorage Daily News:

Gov. Sarah Palin wants a state board to review the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan -- taking the unusual step of making an ethics complaint against herself.

Her lawyer sent an "ethics disclosure" Monday night to Attorney General Talis Colberg. The governor asked that it go to the three-person Personnel Board as a complaint. While ethics complaints are usually confidential, Palin wants the matter open.

The lawyer, Thomas Van Flein, also asked the state Legislature to drop its own investigation into the Monegan matter. He says the Personnel Board has jurisdiction over ethics.

Can't you see whose hands are ALL OVER THIS? Come on people, she wasn't even smart enough to leave her daughter at home, but brought her and covered her with a blanket lol. This just further proves that the good ole boys have their hands up the back of her dress making the moves for her.

This is a naked attempt to stall/impede the independent investigation against her.

She was assumed to be a little fish in a big pond; it's starting to look like she's actually JAWS!

[obamanation31]

yes indeed! great move on her part.

boy, no wonder they aren't letting the press anywhere near her.

This is just Bush and Cheney revisited with feminine wiles. Just a real sneaky way to cover your tracks while looking magnanimous.

So she's basically trying to get the investigation moved to a board hand picked by her. Yeah, I'm sure that will be a fair verdict. And I bet they won't be done till after Nov 4th.

One of the issues she won on in Alaska was term limits.

Two terms of neocons is enough. The exact same people would be running the country behind the scenes under McCain.

HOW SLICK...you get to have an investigation that YOU control done by YOUR FRIENDS right along side the REAL Investigation. That way you can set the PACE and make SURE facts do not come out until too late. Not to mention you will get to see what the OTHERS have on you and run ahead and cover your tracks.

Bold move. She must be 150% confident to do this, because it could very easily backfire.

[Kynn]

She's doing it to get the other investigation closed.
