ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state's public safety commissioner. The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn't the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor.
Actually the report doesn't really say she abused her power in firing Monegan. In fact, it says she was within her rights as governor to fire him.
It says she abused her power because she pressured Monegan (and allowed her husband to pressure Monegan) to fire her brother-in-law. That's using your office for personal gain.

Here is a link to Todd Palin's deposition, annotated by Andrew Halcrow. I liked the part about Sarah being pissed at Monegan over his annual crime report because it showed a rising crime rate and made her look bad.

This one was also good
In addition, during an interview with former Legislative Liason John Bitney last July, he said, "People don't know just how much weight Todd's words have. When Todd Palin makes a suggestion, it's not really a suggestion."
Kind of scary to think of Todd Palin as a shadow president.
I wonder if he would actually advocate for Alaska to secede?
was a terrible choice and unqualified to begin with..Just another repub hypocrit...
