How Will This Wild Ride End?
It seems every day brings out a new and more bizarre twist to the strange saga of Sarah Palin.
According to today's Anchorage Daily News, Palin has filed an ethics complaint against herself, regarding the hoopla over her state-trooper brother-in-law and her firing of Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.
The complaint will be heard by a three-person Personnel Board.
If you think Palin took this unusual step out of a genuine concern to get the facts of her involvement in this sordid mess out in the open, think again:
[Palin's lawyer] asked the state legislature to drop its own investigation into the Monegan matter. He says the Personnel Board has jurisdiction over ethics.
Apparently Palin would rather deal with this board than the investigation headed by state Senator Hollis French, a Democrat and a former state prosecutor. French has no intention to kill his investigation.
