Branchflower said his report did not include late-arriving statements from state officials who, on the advice of Attorney General Talis Colberg, had resisted subpoenas. They, as well as Todd Palin, did provide written statements this week after a judge upheld the subpoenas. Their statements did not cause Branchflower to change his conclusions.

Sen. Gene Therriault, R-North Pole, said the report is flawed because it didn't include those statements.

Therriault said Todd Palin's written response indicates that Gov. Palin, at some point, urged her husband to drop his efforts against Wooten. That information goes to the heart of Branchflower's conclusion that the governor violated the ethics law, Therriault said.

Therriault said Branchflower was unable to consider those late-arriving materials "because we had this artificial deadline today."

"Why?" he continued. "Because we're in a political season."



Ooopsie?

Two other lawmakers said the governor and her husband's actions were understandable.

"Who is going to blame Todd Palin for protecting his family?" said Rep. John Coghill, R-North Pole. "Not me."

Another member of the Legislative Council, Rep. Bob Lynn, R-Anchorage, said he thinks Branchflower's findings are wrong, and that Palin didn't violate the ethics act. "She and Todd Palin were trying to defend their family," Lynn said. "I think any normal person would do the same."

More frothing at the mouth from the idiotic crap for brains. You don't even know one side let alone two. Hell, you don't even know yourself.

You just don't know when to shut the hell up, do ya? You just keep talking and talking thinking people actually give anything you say credibility, but you lost it ages ago. Sorry, but until I see pictures of you standing beside the participants, you don't know crap... I mean, we already know you don't know crap.

What a laughable fool... LOL

It just occurred to me why dart gives Palin a pass on her foreign policy experience. He actually thinks close proximity to information counts as knowledge. He's shown us time after time that he thinks he "knows" something, spouting off this source or that, but upon closer examination, we find out he doesn't know anything at all.

I mean, his concept of knowledge is completely screwed up. We already understand this from the time he told us he knew god existed (ROTFLMAO). Sarah Palin's youngest child probably knows more than dart does.

Here's a hint for you, little re-dart, boy of the 30 IQ... next time you're tempted to utter the words, "I know..." just stop yourself. Who knows? Maybe someday you'll shake the reputation of a complete moron.

hehe

Even the liberal rag, Time Magazine, says....

So what does this say about the possible Vice-President of the United States? Certainly not as much as her enemies would have hoped. She was only directly involved in a small bit of the pressure campaign — a meeting or two and a couple of emails. She can thank Monegan for not having her hands dirtier; it was he who told her to keep herself at "arm's length" from any Wooten conversations.

Darn right! Pesky Brother-in-Laws who are involved in messy divorces


"Messy" divorce huh? Talk about mimicking the liberal spin.


Terribly liberal, after all that was the term in the initial Associated Press story. I am certain that Mr. Limbaugh would describe it as a simple misunderstanding. Unless it involved a Democrat, in which case he would call for a Congressional investigation. Remember how readily the ditto heads thought nothing of the firing of US Attorneys, as long as it was the Republicans doing the firing.

In fairness, which politician other than the President himself does have true, honest-to-goodness foreign policy experience?

Now that Shcmo has shown to be the fool that he is, he goes off on his typical rant in order to divert everyone's attention from his stupidity:
It just occurred to me why dart gives Palin a pass on her foreign policy experience.

I did? Where?
He actually thinks close proximity to information counts as knowledge.

I do? Where? These straw men are desperate attempts to divert, and nothing more.
He's shown us time after time that he thinks he "knows" something, spouting off this source or that, but upon closer examination, we find out he doesn't know anything at all.

You call this rant "closer examination"? I proved to you I knew Wooten's position, which is the other side. You proved you knew nothing about his position. And now you're just ranting in frustration because you're every bit the moron you try to pretend you're not.

I mean, his concept of knowledge is completely f****d up. We already understand this from the time he told us he knew god existed (ROTFLMAO).

LOL. You really are desperate aren't you Schmo. When all else fails, drag up some past argument you think helps divert attention from your idiocy. Of course my "fuckedup" concept of knowledge was perfectly supported by the dictionary. Your refusal to accept it just goe sto illustrate your own idiocy and bigotry.
lin's youngest child probably knows more than dart does.

Back to the quintessential schoolyard Schmo...

Yea, you're really interested in "closer examination" of the facts.
Here's a hint for you, little re-dart, boy of the 30 IQ...

Add 115 to that.

I knew it! He thinks he's a genius! And he wants everyone else to think he's a genius too! The bigoted, arrogant, homophobic, misogynistic, racist ignoramus thinks he's a genius. And, he clearly gets upset when you point out how stupid he is. That's why in re-dart-ed boy's world, everyone who’s smarter than him is an idiot.

OMG, that made my day. ROTFLMAO

by the way, the only thing you proved is that I'm right about you. But obviously, you're too smart to see that, aren't you, little prodigy?

LMAO

This is gonna be a good day.

She didn't "abuse authority." The conclusion is an utter joke considering the dearth of evidence these democrats used to arrive at that conclusion.


She didn't "do" anything. It would help if you actually knew the facts. She was accused of being unethical for what she didn't do. And as far as firing that guy, she didn't need a good excuse anyway (although she had very good ones) because she could fire him for being too short if she wanted.


That was the argument being made on Fox News when I watched it by a Fox News commentator. I simply relayed that argument to the board. Your anger is directed at him and those that agreed, not me. I'm personally just watching you from afar and chuckling, which I think is the appropriate reaction.

I watched the commentary on FOX as the news was released, and they didn't make that argument. "She abused her authority" is something you threw in there, and now you don't want to own up to it.
