Oct. 14, 2008 | Sarah Palin claims to be a reformer who is going to fight corruption and clean up Washington cronyism. But a bipartisan report establishes beyond a doubt that Palin herself indulged and abetted an illegal and unethical personal vendetta carried out by her husband. Sending her to clean up Washington is like sending the Hatfields and McCoys out to restore civility in rural America.
On Friday, a Republican-dominated Alaska legislative panel unanimously voted to release a report that found that Palin had abused her power as governor by allowing her husband Todd to engage in a lengthy campaign, run out of her office, to try to fire her ex-brother-in-law, Michael Wooten. “Governor Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda, to wit: To get Trooper Michael Wooten fired,” the report concludes. It also finds that there is evidence that Palin herself actively participated in the campaign.
The GOP claims to be the party of “family values.” It turns out they meant Soprano family values.
