Palin Troopergate preceeded by another firing scandal (almost recalled as mayor!!)

The Washington Independent:

-Snip-

In this role, Palin acted in a way that eerily foreshadows her recent actions while governor. Early in her tenure as mayor, the city council threatened to recall her over accusations that she fired the city’s police chief, Irl Stambaugh, and the library director, Mary Ellen Emmons, without warning. She accused them in a letter saying: “I do not feel I have your full support in my efforts to govern the city of Wasilla. Therefore I intend to terminate your employment …” (The Anchorage Daily News, via nexis)

Ultimately, Palin let the library director have her job back; though Stambaugh’s position was not returned. The police chief took the matter to court, where a judge sided with Palin, saying city law allows the mayor to fire the police chief without cause.

When questioned by the Anchorage Daily News at the time, Palin refused to give details on how Stambaugh had not supported her, saying only: ”You know in your heart when someone is supportive of you.”

Check out the photo of a very pregnant Palin from an earlier pregnancy (in the comments at bottom).

to find that picture. i think i started looking after the scrub.

Palin was HUGE in the photo.

i don't know WHAT to think now.

Really.. if we had wrote a wish list of the "perfect storm" nominee for VP, I don't think anyone in their wildest post could have come up with something this good. It just keeps getting better & better with this pick.. and it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with her being a female.

She's done.

what are these X's in yellow boxes i'm seeing on a bunch of the threads today? thanks....

fuck facts being a part of the equation.... lol like mccain knew in his heart palin was his soulmate.... i am saying,

Clearly unveted.

or is this what they were going for?

She's the very opposite, but none of the interviewers who are told by Palin's supporters how great she is, ever seem to be armed with any contradictory information.

It seems that with any conservative politician, start digging for information about their background and the ugliest facts will emerge.

ie, I Just Know In My Heart The President Is A Good Man!
