Nonsense.

She used her position to achieve revenge in a family fight
; when another official bravely refused to cooperate, she fired him .

Even if her stories about her brother in law were true, there were standard ways of investigating and deciding on the fitness of the man for his job,
- not that it would be the governors job to do it;
doubly so if she had a personal fight with the man.

Your plain, flat, acceptance of her bullying misuse of power, -

is an insult to anyone who takes elected government seriously; and to the state of Alaska, which has the right to expect their elected officials to keep their personal vendetas out of the way of state business.

    I think I see your point .
    If you can raise an issue where someone else did something wrong, - then that makes what Palin did ok.
    
    Doesn't work as morality, of course;
    and it makes for damned poor government;
    but it really sucks as argumentation.
    
    Which is why I want you to keep on doing it .

      I had links showing that Palin did not break any laws but ACORN is. Come to your senses before it it too late. Obama is not the second coming.

  The panel should be investigated for using public funds for embarking on a personal vendetta and an obvious political witch hunt.

    I am unsure whether you are calling Palin a political witch; if so, please turn down your rhetoric.
    
    On the other hand, if you are just knee-jerk- rejecting the results of an investigation as 'partisan', - then I will remind you that it was Palin herself who called for the investigation, after it was reported that she fired someone for refusing to fire her brother-in-law.
    
    Maybe we could hire Ken Starr to look into Palin's call to investigate herself;
    If she refuses to testify on grounds that it would be self-incriminating she could be shackled which would be wrong very wrong so I am not advocating it one little bit.
    
    Not even a little bit.

    If we wanted a witch hunt we would hire her preacher, "Bless his heart"
