Out with the old, in with the new?Sarah Palin and Lauren Caitlin Upton.
Known as the "Branchflower report", findings in an investigation against Sarah Palin may well see the end of her political career, and puts John McCain in a perilous situation. Drop Sarah Palin from the Republican Presidential election ticket and look weak, or face the devastating political consequences of having a proven corrupt politician running-mate, for the second most powerful office in the World.
Either way Sarah Palin looks to be doomed politically, and the McCain-Palin ticket in very serious contention for a policitcal wallaping on the first Tuesday in November.
Below are the juicy key findings of the Sarah Palin Alaska state legislature report on the abuses Sarah Palin made while in the first year of office, beginning January 2007.
Below are the juicy key findings of the Sarah Palin Alaska state legislature report on the abuses Sarah Palin made while in the first year of office, beginning January 2007.
Finding Number One
For the reasons explained in section IV of this report, I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) provides The legislature reaffirms that each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust.
Finding Number Two
I find that, although Walt Monegan's refusal to fire Trooper Michael Wooten was not the sole reason he was fired by Governor Sarah Palin, it was likely a contributing factor to his termination as Commissioner of Public Safety. In spite of that, Governor Palin's firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.
Finding Number Three
Harbor Adjustment Service of Anchorage, and its owner Ms. Murleen Wilkes, handled Trooper Michael Wooten's workers' compensation claim property and in the normal course of business like any other claim processed by Harbor Adjustment Service and Ms. Wilkes. Further, Trooper Wooten received all the workers' compensation benefits to which he was entitled.
Finding Number Four
The Attorney General's office has failed to substantially comply with my August 6, 2008 written request to Governor Sarah Palin for infomration about the case in the form of emails.

But look on the bright side, maybe McCain could now dump Palin and replace her with the just as qualified former Miss Teen South Carolina, Lauren Caitlin Upton.....
