Had already heard about it. Didn't plan on posting it though.

The main problem w/ this article is this line...

The board, a three-member panel under Palin's authority, was responsible for determining if she had broken any laws.

Well the original article stated that it was a independent board.

The mudslinging has gotten FAR more coverage than a small late retraction on page 22.
The damage was done.

From the CBC:

The Alaska Personnel Board, whose three members are appointed by the governor, has the authority to decide if Palin violated the law.

She appointed her own members to the ethics board to clear her of ethical wrong-doing...somehow, that doesn't seem fair and ethical.

[EmoRebellion]

Yeah, she was already found guilty by the Alaska legislature a few weeks ago.. This is a commission that she appointed to look into it. :rofl: The media is reporting this as if it means something..

[SoCalZX2]

You're a little late to the party Phosphite... I already pointed that out...

Your line isn't in the currently linked article (maybe Palin changed it?), and you didn't provide a good quote or evidence. You want truth don't you? ;)

[SoCalZX2]

I'm sorry, I didn't put it in a quote box... It's the line from the article on Yahoo... and it says the same thing yours does... with different words.

You wouldn't want to read the OP linked article to not come off looking like an ass would you? ;) :p lol
