Sarah’s “abuse of power”

It started out "unlawful abuse of power," in the AP’s version, until it got rewritten by editors who  actually bothered to read the report. Jules Crittenden has a funny take:

"A hasp and a hinge or two shy of a gate, as the Alaska Legislature’s bid to shaft McCain-Palin comes up a little short. Ethics violation alleged by partisan hacks in efforts to fire the trooper. No law broken in commissioner’s firing."

Some will say this report can’t be biased because it was issued by a committee that had more Republicans than Dems. But that’s forgetting that she’s an equal-opportunity reformer, attacking Alaska Reps as often as Dems.
