I don't believe the investigation has anything to do with being "partisan" but in all likelyhood, a personal vendetta as we all know that Palin has ruffled quite a few feathers in her efforts to rid Alaska of corruption, etc. Also, if you (collectively) delve into Alaskan governmental protocol, that the Personnel Board is the one empowered to investigate claims of ethical wrongdoing and Palin and husband Todd have publicly stated that they will be 100% cooperative with the Personnel Board's inquiry later this month.

Also of interest is that the legislative panel that produced the report did so using public funds. If anyone broke the law, it's the panel, not Palin - she broke no laws and was not, and will not be, charged with any crimes.
Her political career is far from over, it's just getting started.-

Do you know what a legislative panel is? It is the state-level version of a congressional investigative committee. It is comprised of state legislators. Of course, they use public funds. Duh!
According to this government committee, Sarah Palin broke a statute regarding ethics, an impeachable offense. Their work was finished when they issued this report, which has now gone to the entire state legislature. Now it is up to the legislature whether they want to do anything about it -- ignore, censure or impeach.-

The point you missed is that they used public funds to pursue their own personal agenda. Duh is right!!
Also, the legislature has already indicated that no further action will be pursued.
Tune in to the Personnel Board at the end of this month where Palin and husband have already indicated full cooperation. We'll wait for THAT outcome for further comment.-

political ethics is NOT a personal agenda. we pay these people-they are our employees. when they misuse their power its a very PUBLIC matter, not a personal one
investigate the case-the governor and her husband had a PERSONAL agenda concerning their PERSONAL lives, and used a PUBLIC office to try to resolve it
the panel that reached the conclusion actually had more republican than dem members on it
that should tell you the findings were not about a personal agenda, but a misuse of public office, if nothing else does
of course if you want to see this as a partisan demonization of Palin, nothing will stop you, even knowing the panel that found her 'guilty' was bipartisan and actually had more people on it from her own party -

This is an ethics matter. The state legislature had every responsibility to deal with this. They made their decision based on that responsibility. Whether or not they pursue any further action isn't the point. The point is, she was found to have participated in unethical conduct. Sort of like John McCain was found to have have used "poor judgment" in a Senate ethics review over the Keating scandal.

As for the Personnel Board, you mean the one with her appointees sitting on it? That personnel board? Who cares what they say about it. It will not negate the findings of the committee.
