Sarah Palin and Troopergate

Kargo-X over at Daily Kos did an interesting report on Sarah Palin and the report that came out of the Alaska legislature on Troopergate. Read more here, if the clip below interests you...

A month ago, we were asking What Makes Troopergate So Dangerous and noting that there was a pronounced half-assed Cheneyist quality to Sarah Palin's approach to "governance."

The release of the Branchflower report on Troopergate lays it all bare, and Palin's response to it makes the case against electing her:

"If you read the report, you will see that there was nothing unlawful or unethical about replacing a cabinet member," Palin said as boarded her campaign bus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "You got to read the report."

But as the very next sentence of the CNN report cited above says:

Palin violated state ethics law by trying to get her former brother-in-law fired from the state police, a state investigator's report for the bipartisan Legislative Council concluded Friday.

Palin says there was nothing unlawful or unethical, just read the report. And the report says? It was unlawful and unethical.

That, under normal circumstances, would tell you all you need to know: the Republican Vice Presidential candidate is a certifiable loon, dangerously disconnected from reality.
