You have to remember that a lot of Palin fans believe that this is just one HUGE conspiracy by Obama, Axelrod and the Democrats to take Palin down by any means possible. Heck they even believe that we anonymous bloggers are being paid to do this. They believe this is a vast conspiracy encompassing a wide majority of the “leftist blogs” and that we are so terrified of Palin and her abilities that we will make up anything and everything in an attempt to smear her good name and her solid reputation for bringing about change, and reforming government. Heck the other side has said that they can control ADN via tactics like complaining to the editors of ADN about comments being posted and getting changes made to that area, they have claimed that they are involved in changing the ethics laws in AK to better protect Palin from the frivolous charges being brought against her, and getting ADN to change their behavior simply by contacting advertisers on the ADN.
I would say those comments on the ADN fall right in line with that way of thinking.

The ADN opinion says, … But when Alaskans use the ethics law to score political points, they abuse that right — and may put it at risk.

What on earth does the editorial writer suggest is going on here? How can it be seen that an individual who files an ethics complaint is trying to score political points? For whom? Certainly not the individual themselves. With whom? So far no individual filer I’ve read about is being paid by or holds a position within a formal political party structure that is challenging the accused for their office. Besides, ethics complaints can’t be filed against someone who is running for office during the campaign season.

Maybe the ADN is thinking of the David vs Goliath story and realizing that every once in a while the little person wins one. It’s telling that the ADN, the “free press,” members of the once-revered 4th estate, would side with Goliath.

So, even though these guns specify that they’re given in the spirit of the 50th Anniversary of Alaska’s Statehood….Palin is keeping these special edition guns that will only increase in value….along with the one given to her by the NRA.

Question about these weapons, Andree. Are they given to her personally or as governor of the State of Alaska? If the latter, then they should all remain the property of the State of Alaska and displayed as such under standard security measures.

If Palin keeps them for herself, then there are valid grounds for an ethics complaint. Hell, I’d even file a theft charge.

Besides, it’s kinda like Sullivan saying there is no “record” of any liquor license complaints, well yeah, lol, if no “record” is kept there is no record. Even if a complaint is reviewed and dismissed, it should be kept and the public should have access to those records.

Does anybody know the rules on this? This seems very sloppy and vague.

“Judy Bockmon, who as the state ethics attorney at the Alaska Department of Law conducts the initial review of all complaints, said the state doesn’t keep track of how many are filed.

“It’s not information that is useful to anybody,”

The AG’s office has sent out yet another letter last week stating they need an extension in order to supply the emails. (It’s been seven months now.) I’m still waiting for the courts to schedule a date for the two McLeod vs. Palin active cases…one deals with using private unsecured email accounts for official state business and the other deals with Todd’s undisclosed emails that deal with official business.

Why not file a mandamus action and force the AG and Court to act on the specific matters before them? Or am I misunderstanding the part about waiting 7 months for the court to set a date? It certainly should not take the AG from a sparsely populated state to handle a matter. By comparison, I’ve been able to get the EPA to produce boxes of documents in a complicated matter in significantly less time. What is the problem there (other than that they do not want to produce the documents)?

She is one mean spirited women—-in the name of Jesus, of course.
