ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin remained in the dark while her husband repeatedly asked top state officials
to help get his former brother-in-law kicked off the state police force, Palin's husband and top aides said in affidavits
provided to The Associated Press. 

Palin,
the Republican vice presidential nominee, is the focus of a legislative
investigation into whether she abused her authority by firing the
state's public safety commissioner to settle a long-standing family
dispute. The commissioner says he was fired after resisting pressure to
fire Mike Wooten, a trooper involved in a bitter divorce with Palin's
sister. 

The investigation has been a distraction for John McCain's presidential campaign.
Lawmakers were scheduled to meet Friday and release a report on the case, which could shed light on how Palin governs and
what role her husband played in her administration. 

The
affidavits filed with investigators late Wednesday will probably help
Palin's defense that the firing was not a tit-for-tat, but they also
portray her as uninvolved while her husband met repeatedly with her
aides about family affairs. That could provide fodder for her political
opponents. 

"I

have heard criticism that I am too involved in my wife's
administration," Todd Palin wrote in his affidavit. "My wife and I are
very close. We are each other's best friend. I have helped her in her
career the best I can, and she has helped me." 

Oh give me a break -- now they are claiming she KNEW nothing about his doing this????
