Troopergate Verdict-Palin did NO WRONG
| Mon, 11-03-2008 - 7:56pm |
An independent review of the case (read that no political axes to grind) has found that Sarah Palin did NOT violate any ethics laws or any other laws in the case involving her brother in law and the firing of the Public Service Commissioner.
I'd say I hate to say I told you so, but I don't.

Sure one can be unethical without breaking laws.
I'm not spinning anything, as I don't have to.
You're continuing to read something into the report which simply isn't there.
Like I said previously, an action can be unethical without being illegal.
I was indeed mistaken in what I remembered of the original board's findings, though I myself never claimed any violations of the law.
are you officially dropping your erroneous claim of what the original report didn't say?
"Like I said previously, an action can be unethical without being illegal."
You mean, for example, like all of Palin's lies about how she killed the bridge to nowhere when in fact she was one of the last one's hanging onto that bridge for dear life, or that she is against earmarks when she spent her entire career trying to secure them?
Yeah, while the timing could be completely coincidental I'm not much of one for coincidences, especially in regards to this crop of liars.

Yup. When a person and a party lie as much as these Republicans have, we need proof, not trust. Even Reagan said trust but verify.
That's what gives me so much pause over this one:

"With no indication that Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) presidential campaign will release Gov. Sarah Palin's medical records -- or even a single-page summary -- Palin's spokesmen appear to have lied when they said Palin would release details on her medical history.
Two weeks ago, Palin's campaign told several reporters on the trail that a summary of the Alaska governor's medical history would be made public before Election Day.
But there's no indication that even a single coversheet will be released, according to CNN.
"Reporters were told that details on Palin's medical background would be released early last week," CNN reports. "Last Thursday, after that timeframe had passed, a campaign aide backed off the previous pledge, saying the campaign wasn’t sure when the information would be released."
By most accounts, Palin appears to be in good health. But some -- including conservative pundit Andrew Sullivan -- have raised questions about whether Palin's decision not to release any medical data has to do with the birth of her son, Trig, at 43. Sullivan has documented myriad inconsistencies in the governor's account of her son's birth.
After her water broke in her eighth month of pregnancy, while out of town to give a speech, Palin did not go to the hospital and instead called her doctor over the phone.
"I think that the majority of obstetricians, given a 44 year old with 4 previous deliveries and a known Down syndrome pregnancy at less than term with a question of ruptured membranes, would advise her to be seen at a hospital (especially if out-of-town and the question of traveling was on the table) to have these tests performed; given the malpractice risk, very few would be comfortable making the diagnosis over the phone," said one obstetrician Sullivan quotes."
There are so many rumors swirling about Palin and her teen unmarried daughter's pregnancies. Palin is just throwing oil on the fire with this one.
It's bad enough two time cancer survivor oldest first-term President ever McCain won't fully release his records. Young supposedly healthy honest Palin is won't release a single record, after she said she would. Why should we trust such a bunch of liars. She lied about the bridge to nowhere. She lied about being against earmarks. Why wouldn't she lie about this too? She is a walking contradiction. Can you image if, in the event America picks McCain, she then becomes President? Yikes. Now talk about risky.
