This has just broken... Dr. Maddow actually had paper shoved at her while she was on the air interviewing Alaska State Senator Bill Wilkowski about Troopergate (the coincidence!):
From AP:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- On the eve of a report on a legislative panel's abuse-of-power investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, campaign officials released their own report clearing her of any wrongdoing.
Palin, running mate to Republican presidential nominee John McCain, is the subject of two inquiries into whether she abused her power by firing her public safety commissioner. The commissioner says he was dismissed for resisting pressure to fire Palin's former brother-in-law, a state trooper.
Lawmakers are expected to release their findings Friday.
The report the McCain-Palin campaign released Thursday night says the firing was based on a budget dispute. Since then, the report says, the matter has been muddled with innuendo, rumor and politics.
So the Moosequeen has cleared HERSELF. Well - THAT's a relief, I'm sure.
Keep in mind: this is NOT the official report from lawmakers that will be released tomorrow - this is Palin's little report on herself (that Personnel Board Report - you know... the one where people who work for her were to decide if she was a bad girl....). This is yet more smoke and mirrors from the McCain/Palin Sideshow to try and get America to believe that she is an innocent, precious Patriot.
The McCain Camp's report is attempting to divide the Troopergate issue from Walt Monegan's dismissal, which we expected.
"The following document will prove Walt Monegan's dismissal was a result of his insubordination and budgetary clashes with Governor Palin and her administration," campaign officials wrote. "Trooper Wooten is a separate issue."
