Abuse Of Power
It turns out Sarah Palin is more like "Georgie" than even I thought.
It was just announced that the results of the investigation in Alaska into "Troopergate" determined she DID abuse the power of her office.
Inability of Sarah Palin and her husband Todd to separate their personal lives and problems from the responsibility of public service was quoted as one of the abuses of her office as Governor of Alaska.
At least 19 phone calls from Palin and her husband attempting to coerce people into firing the Public Safety Administrator because he wouldn't fire her former brother-in-law.
State laws were broken and Palin violated state trust.
If you liked Bush/Cheney, you'll LOVE McCain/Palin!

She didn't break state law. But this abuse of power is pretty incriminating.
Regarding the unanimous decision to release the report, I'd love to know what information they all agreed not to release.

Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain.
