Ah, yup,yup,yup

don't let that faux hick accent fool ya, there.

Abuse of governmental authority is a nice way of saying she's another Dick Cheney. Or, if one wants to get ultra technical, she has 'totalitarian tendencies'. For the Poli sci geeks out there, yup, yup, she's one more friggin' wannabe Leninist.

By the way that "politically motivated" investigation included 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats.

The report has been released (by unanimous vote of the Council). Here's the nugget:

For the reasons explained in Section IV of this report, I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) provides

"The legislature reaffirms that each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust."

Or as Newsweek put it:

Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative [and majority Republican] panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket.....

I like that 'imperiled her reputation'

...ya think?
