If you're like me, you're getting tired of all Palin, all the time. But there's more:
Another Controversy for Sarah Palin, Former Police Chief Says He Was Fired for Challenging Palin's Campaign Contributors
When does it end? This has got to be the worst choice in modern American history. Worse than Dan Quayle. At what point does she just become so ridiculous that she is only fodder for late night TV, like Letterman or Leno?
Details, if you can read yet more, after the fold.
After taking over as Mayor of the small town of Wasilla, Palin fired the longtime local police chief. The former police chief, Irl Stambaugh says he was fired because he stepped on the toes of Palin's campaign contributors, including bar owners and the National Rifle Association.
Stambaugh's lawyer, William Jermain, says the chief tried to move up the closing hours of local bars from 5 a.m. to two a.m. after a spurt of drunk driving accidents and arrests.
"His crackdown on that practice by the bars was not appreciated by her and that was one reason she terminated Irl," said Jermain.
In his 1997 lawsuit, Stambaugh also alleged that his stand on restricting concealed weapons upset the NRA.

He lost the suit, because he was an at will employee and could be fired for any reason, including the ones stated in the lawsuit.
But it just continues with Palin. More and more, drip by drip, torrent by torrent.
We seem to have a pattern of abuse of power to go with everything else.
That's my Palin diary. I promise. No More.
