Palin repeatedly lies
Out of the gallons and gallons of swill that right-wing conservatives throw at the rest of the public on an hourly basis, one of the things that they wanted us to swallow was that Governor Sarah Palin was different. Governor Sarah Palin was authentic. Governor Sarah Palin was “real.” Well, over the weekend, we found out, again, she is none of those things. Governor Sarah Palin lies just as much, if not more, than any other politician. (Find the Troopergate report here for you to read it for yourself.)
From ADN:
“Governor Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda … to get Trooper Michael Wooten fired,” Branchflower’s report says.
“Compliance with the code of ethics is not optional. It is an individual responsibility imposed by law, and any effort to benefit a personal interest through official action is a violation of that trust. … The term ‘benefit’ is very broadly defined, and includes anything that is to the person’s advantage or personal self-interest.” (more… )
