Team McCain and the Trooper
Nominee's ally moves to curb probe of Palin

Key Alaska allies of John McCain are trying to derail a politically charged investigation into Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of her public safety commissioner in order to prevent a so-called "October surprise" that would produce embarrassing information about the vice presidential candidate on the eve of the election.
In a move endorsed by the McCain campaign Friday, John Coghill, the GOP chairman of the state House Rules Committee, wrote a letter seeking a meeting of Alaska's bipartisan Legislative Council in order to remove the Democratic state senator in charge of the so-called "troopergate" investigation.
Coghill charged that the senator, Hollis French, had "politicized" the probe by making a number of public comments in recent days, including telling ABC News that Palin had a "credibility problem" and that the investigation into the firing of public safety commissioner Walter Monegan was "likely to be damaging to the administration" and could be an "October surprise." Wrote Coghill: "The investigation appears to be lacking in fairness, neutrality and due process."
The investigation, authorized by the Legislative Council last July, revolves around charges that Palin abused her power by embroiling the governor's office in a bitter family feud involving her ex-brother in law, a state trooper named Mike Wooten. Specifically, the council is investigating whether Palin fired Monegan when he refused to dismiss Wooten (who at the time was involved in an ugly custody battle with Palin's sister) after getting repeated complaints about him from the governor and her husband, Todd Palin. (Among the allegations that were raised against Wooten by Palin's sister: he had Tasered his ten-year-old stepson and shot a moose without a permit.) Palin has denied wrongdoing; Monegan has said he believes his firing was connected to his refusal to fire Wooten.
French, the Democrat overseeing the probe, has hired a special counsel to determine, in effect, whether Palin "used her public office to settle a private score," he recently said. He has also suggested that the probe may turn up evidence that state laws were violated by Palin's aides because they pulled confidential personnel files on the trooper.
But Coghill, who told NEWSWEEK that he has the backing of Republican Speaker of the House John Harris in his effort to remove French, suggested Friday that the investigation into Palin's firing of Monegan should be shut down entirely. "If this has been botched up the way it has, there's a question as to whether it should continue," Coghill told NEWSWEEK.
Re: McCain nervous about outcome of Troopergate
Its a game. Palin actually wanted the process sped up, but since the liberals sent an army up there to investigate, they are gonna play their game.
If the liberals want a game, give them a game. They have nothing better to do anyway.
Re: McCain nervous about outcome of Troopergate
This is really the only thing the liberals have to fight Palin. They are gonna drag (whore) this thing out as long as they possibly can.
And the thing is nobody fuckin' cares. If Palin knew, through her sister, that the guy was out of line, whether you agree with it or not, it was conduct unbecoming of an officer, and his commanding officer PROTECTED the conduct unbecoming of an officer.
That's just how the game is played.
Re: McCain nervous about outcome of Troopergate
What makes this witch hunt comical is this douche bag used a taser on a kid, shot moose while out of season, and other assorted bullshit and the liberals are building a statue in his honor.
At the rate this Palin obsession is going, by next week a gang of liberals will break into her house so they can boil some bunnies.
Re: McCain nervous about outcome of Troopergate
Or bend her over a table to teach her a lesson.
I'm talking about the liberals, and the Democratic party. Not Obama. And those guys have ran a down right SEXIST blogger-campaign this entire year, including against Hilary.
All because they are women. The same way they've showed prejudice with the "McCain is so old" shit. I'm gonna laugh my ass off at the first guy that says "Obama is just too black to be president". Because it's the EXACT same thing.
SEXISM
GEEZER-HATING
RACISM
The United States of fuckin' America 2008 baby!
