http://www.adn.com/opinion/story/516641.htmlIn keeping with her alleged "open, transparent, accountable" malarkey, Palin had promised the Alaska legislature to cooperate fully with its Troopergate investigation. Accordingly, the legislature did not see fit to equip its investigation with subpoena powers. Now a key state employee has refused to appear before the investigation voluntarily, and his boss, Palin, refuses to order him to do so. The investigation, without subpoena powers, having relied on Palin's word that she would cooperate, is helpless.
Furthermore, Palin's lawyers have just demanded that the investigation wrap up without completing its work so that Palin can file a complaint against herself that would be investigated by another statutory body, thereby preventing the current investigation - - to which Palin had pledged her full cooperation - - from completing its investigation prior to the election.
Fresh new face - corruption fighter - accountable government my ass! The only problem I can see for the Democrats is how to get this stuff before the public in a way they will understand and care about. She's a liar and a hypocrite and a phony for sure - - but how to communicate this to the masses?
