Palin on Troopergate report: You need to read the report.


Thinkprogress:


While Sarah Palin was boarding her campaign bus this morning, a reporter seeking comment on the new Troopergate report shouted out to her, “Governor, did you abuse your power?” She responded:

If you read the report, you’ll see that there’s nothing unlawful or unethical about replacing a cabinet member. You’ve got to read the report, sir.

As Jake Tapper notes, Palin is dodging the question and parsing her answer. “It’s true that there’s nothing ‘unlawful or unethical about replacing a cabinet member’ in principle,” he writes, “but the report is not as Gov. Palin is presenting it.” The report explicitly states that she did abuse her power and acted unethically:

For the reasons explained in section IV of this report, I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 2952.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.


Memo to Palin: No, you need to re-read the report where it discussed about Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.

I saw somewhere that Palin's IQ is even lower than W's, so someone probably needs to read the report TO her.

In the other post, yes, people are booing and they stop after the puck drop and it turns to all cheering.

There is more about Blunderwoman on the Troopergate. According to Jason, Ms. Sarah's vendetta prior to her being Governor. Will post the latest from Jason's TPR for Sunday's posting along with Palin's 2005 email. The woman has become nothing but a nightmare in this campaign.

Call Katie and tell her Sarah can't read or choses not to read. It's sad to see a person who wants to be VP lie so much.

History in the making. Both McCain/Palin if elected will be the first President/Vice President who have ethics complants. Now before you say I'm wrong just remember Vice President Spiro Agnew.
