Alaska Police Union Files Complaint Against Palin

MSNBC:

The GOP candidate for vice president, Gov. Sarah Palin, may be facing yet another ethics investigation back in her home state of Alaska. An ethics complaint obtained by NBC News was filed Wednesday by the police officers union in Alaska, requesting a probe into possible wrongdoing by the governor or her office. It was brought on behalf of state trooper Mike Wooten, an ex-brother-in-law of Palin who is at the center of the "Troopergate" scandal.

The complaint alleges that the governor or her staff may have have improperly disclosed information from Wooten's personnel records. The complaint alleges "criminal penalties may apply."

John Cyr, director of the union that filed the complaint, told NBC News, "It seems obvious to us somebody has improperly accessed [Wooten's] personnel file."

[MsLiz]

No.

[pattio66]

link please

[cia1018]

I am pretty sure that I heard Mika Ram??something on MSNBC state that when McCain was asked about the $8 Million Obama picked up after Palins speech last night his response was that they have raised "8 times" that amount since announcing Palin.

[BabsfromKansas]

"RNC Picks Up $1 Million After Palin Speech"

WSJ

[rcwblessed]

Obama's campaign received $10 million in donations, from over 130,000 donors, IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS following Palin's speech! I'd say that really makes a statement.

do you need a shovel for the s**t your pushing?

[Judyisacutie]

She reminds me of a wannabe Dick Cheney.

[MeanGreenMachine]

Dick Cheney's not half the man SHE is.

[Independent-for-Obama]

The Republicans don't care. Unions typically support Democrats.

[MidwestMomma]

Yep! Because the democrats have a proven record of supporting policy that benefit working people which is what unions are!

[LemonMeringue]

Send Palin and her poor kids back to Alaska in November, if not sooner, then let Alaska recall her.

What was Alaska thinking! Are they embarrassed yet?

[BabsfromKansas]

Up until last night, I believed Sarah Palin was unqualified and corrupt. Now I would add cynical, mean-spirited, and deceitful to the list.

[guntotinganglion]

All of which put her in good stead with the Republican party. She's exactly what they were looking for...being that corruption and mean-spirits are the hallmarks of the GOP. Deceit and lack of qualifications are just icing on the cake!

[Marilynleigh34]

Over 80% approval rating....

[BabsfromKansas]

I heard it had dropped to 65%

[2farnorth]

You might wanna double check that statistic ;)

[LemonMeringue]

Not anymore.

[gladys46]

Did anybody read that HuffPo article stating Sarah attended 5 colleges in 6 years!!!???

[BabsfromKansas]

"The McCain campaign did not have an immediate comment on Palin's higher education record"

ROFLMAO!!!!!

[faithfully]

I wonder what her GPA and SAT scores were?

[SmackwaterJack]

The police union is acting in a responsible manner, I hope they leave no stone unturned, these Republican bullies have been getting away with this sort of intimidation for far too long.

[AtticusinPa]

Just imagine her with influence over the FBI, IRS etc. She will make Nixon's enemies list look like an invitation list for the sorority ball.

[myangeldog1]

This Alaskan is due for a meltdown

[seriously29]

oh yes.

[seriously29]

time for the taming of the shrew

[BabsfromKansas]

Shrilla from Wasilla

[Ironfox]

Now, no matter how valid your feelings about this person, with a comment like this you lose all credibility.

[MeanGreenMachine]

Palin has problems with authority, unless SHE'S it.

[tigs]

yes we all agree she is a disaster ,but what are the dems doing about it,palin dosnt give a damn
about what we think ,not now she has the repub on side ,same old same old as the last 8 years,
. maybe we should subcribe to the national enquirer, they dont mind what people think either, but they get the info ok.

[gladys46]

They are just now officially nominating Sarah!! She gave her acceptance speech last evening!!!??

[MsLiz]

IOKIYAR

[proudamericanblkwoman]

Neither Palin or McCain are reformers. They are typical Repugs who abuse power and destroy lives for their own amusement and gain. We thought Bush/Cheney were horrible...If these two get in office, "you ain't seen nothin' yet!"

McCain - Palin, Reckless Mavericks!

Vote Obama - Biden '08 & '12! ... PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE! - I beg of you, America!
