Palin reportIn a blow to her aspirations to be the next vice-president, Alaska governor Sarah Palin, the running mate of Republican presidential candidate John McCain, has been found guilty of an abuse of power. "Gov. Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda," the report states.

Democratic Party press release
"The finding of the Legislative Council's investigator that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska's ethics act is deeply troubling. Governor Palin has violated Alaskans’ trust. I hope that in light of this finding Governor Palin will stop playing partisan politics to the detriment of Alaska's future."

I'm starting to feel like a Branchflower Davidian; searching for the truth to avoid doomsday-hopeful it will be delivered via Steven Branchflower's $100,000 report due today, October 10. I am guessing Mr. Branchflower is dotting 'i's and crossing 't's tonight. When he accepted the job from the bipartisan Legislative Council, I think he took it seriously, but assumed he'd get some late summer fishing in. The state's approval of $100,000 to look into Governor Sarah Palin's abuse of power allegations hardly seems enough to have the weight of the investigation and the eyes of the world on your shoulders.

Ted's lairAs the Department of Justice prepares to rest their corruption case against Senator Ted Stevens, the jury and Alaskans heard from an FBI investigator who detailed correspondences with Stevens and the lack of disclosure of the seven years of gifts on Stevens' Personal Financial Disclosure forms.

TedToday the jury and Alaskans heard examples of Senator Ted Stevens’ scheme to not pay for renovations on his Girdwood chalet. Phone conversations between former VECO Chief Executive Bill Allen and Stevens’ close friend and neighbor Bob Persons were played to highlight that Stevens knew what was going on, but still didn’t pay for the work.

I watched the Palin-Biden Debate with over a thousand Alaskans at the Bear Tooth Theatre in Anchorage. Our collective response was filtered through years of the Palin experience combined with the recent disillusionment courtesy of intense national media scrutiny. The debate hit a nerve when the Darfur Genocide was brought up. Palin said she led the charge to divest the Alaska Permanent Fund of Sudanese investments.
