She doesn't have an original thought in her head and will speak talking points until she turns blue. Just a gimpse into Palin's administration and the Mccain campaign, true weasels!!

How can she say mainstream media is treating her badly and yell sexism when she won't even talk to them. I find her a coward and her ends justify her means, she lies and believes what she says. I don't feel that McCain has put any words into that foul mouth, not after hearing and reading the things she said as Mayor and now Governor. She needs to go back to Alaska and answer to all the people who put their lives into her hands. How can you possibly trust someone who has no clue of her own wrong doings? Obama/Biden '08 Meg says she is speaking for Sarah…guess someone has to as she sure can not speak for herself.

A trooper that use to be a member of the family. It is also bad for her husband to be involved in this at all. She is the elected official not him. I don't think we need a report to know this. In the end...we paid for a report and probably will have to pay Walt because he was fired. Guilty or not!

It's one thing to debate whether or not Palin should've fired Moneghan, but that's not the point. Neither is it whether Branchflower had any ties with French, Moneghan, or even Santa Claus. If people would take their heads out from the Republirocks out there and actually read the report...it's startling. If the interviews detailed in the report contain a shred of truth...and notice that Palin hasn't debated that at all...then she did, in fact, unethically, abuse her power and position as Governor. It's not an opinion; it's a fact as defined by ethics law. C'mon, folks...quit beating around the proverbial bush and read the facts. I’m so dismayed that the whole thing has worked out like this.

Gara is against anyone from McCain Palin campaign refuting and challenging his opinion of Monegan/Branchflower/French. Everyone from Anchorage knows of their ties. Why should anyone apologize for attacking any of them? So guys like Gara will use that against the person who apologized to spin their own hype. Let's face it, there are folks in our own families we may not see eye to eye with, but what happens when a perceived outsider takes issue with them? We often defend them vehemently. That's precisely the case here. Gara took issue that an outsider attacked other Alaskan's. It really doesn't matter what anyone's political affiliation is here folks. When you become friends with someone do you first qualify that friendship by asking their party affiliation? Who cares what party Branchflower is? That is moot. He and his wife do in fact have significant ties with Walt Monegan and the ethics committee knew this when they hired him.
