the unlawful maverick

October 10th, 2008 by stephen h | No Comments | Filed in Discourse, Links, News, Thoughts

a bipartisan legislative investigation in alaska today concluded that sarah palin “unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state’s public safety commissioner.”

after all that’s happened in the political landscape this week, especially all the accusations made by palin herself about obama, her credibility is now officially toast. this is a blatant ethics law violation, and consisted of not 1 or 2, but 19 separate phone calls by both palin and her husband trying to get his ex-brother-in-law fired.

apparently, a maverick is someone who roams the countryside spreading hatred and racism after abusing power and public office for their own personal gain, at least if you use her own quotes against her. of course, now she’ll blame political partisanship for this report – even though the investigation was launched before she was even tapped to be the VP nominee – because that’s just what a maverick does!

did i mention already how she does not deserve to be anywhere near the white house? i think i did, but i’m not sure…
