PALIN - Troopergate and Librariangate

Fri, 10-03-2008 - 11:14am

Just to clarify Troopergate and  Librariangate:


The issue is that Palin tried to pressure her ex-brother in law's supervisor to fire him because she and her family have a personal vendetta, AND that she used her power to disclose confidential information from his personnel records.

FYI..."Troopergate" is about the firing of Walt Monegan who was a public safety commissioner in charge of the state troopers.  Supposedly Monegan wouldn't fire Palin's ex-brother-in-law and complained that he was getting pressure from Palin (or her administration) to fire the ex-brother-in-law.  Palin said she fired him for other reasons, but he insists that he was fired because he wouldn't fire the ex-brother-in-law.    Here is a link to the Anchorage Daily News collection of articles regarding the firing of Monegan:

Palin pressured the librarian and sent her a letter telling her she was going to be fired for not pulling certain books that Palin wanted taken out of the library.

This may seem like the Palin debate/Stevens trial newsletter, but both have tremendous news momentum at the moment. First, a brief visit to the trial and what it means to Alaskans at home. Next up, Sarah Palin's big moment Thursday night, with attention to debate advice she's getting, analysis of her 2006 debate performances, the McCain/Palin interview with Katie Couric, Palin's looming trouble with conservatives and, lastly, the juggernaut that Troopergate has become.

Lastly, find Palin/Stevens-free, Alaska-only news at the bottom of Newsreader. Let's begin.

Alaskans on Stevens: "Who doesn't like Robin Hood?" As the senator's Washington, D.C., corruption trial resumes this morning with ex-Veco chief Bill Allen detailing the remodel on Stevens' Girdwood chalet, the Washington Post reports that in Alaska, the corruption headlines may not matter.

"I've lived here seven years," said Bill Stanfill, 57, a retired insurance broker who moved from Florida. "Had I been here 37 years and I'd seen him bring all these goodies for all these years, I'd see him the way everybody else does. Who doesn't like Robin Hood?"

"I think he's electable," said Florence Hall, 77, picking stray spuds from a potato field before the coming frost. "I have my doubts about a trial outcome in Washington, D.C. I really do. I've heard reminders that Washington, D.C., is full of politicians, and it's Democratic territory, and they're going to focus on hanging a Republican.

You know, it is really funny how the fact that one just wants to make sure that the truth is discussed, not innuendo or lies, means that one must absolutely support that person.

I, too, don’t see what it is you’re so confused about.

Please show me one article where it has been proven that Palin mentioned which books she wanted banned.
