From an Anchorage Newspaper
Being from Smalltown, USA means everyone in the community knows you and can see through the hooey you’re spewing across TV, USA. The Daily Anchorage News is on to the stonewalling that the smalltown gal is up to. Here are excerpts:
“Gov. Sarah Palin is taking the wrong approach to Troopergate. She should be practicing the open and transparent, ethical and accountable government she promised when running for governor and boasts about now that she’s on the national stage.Instead, Gov. Palin has begun stonewalling the Legislature’s attempt to get the bottom of allegations that she, her family or staff violated ethical or state personnel rules.
Gov. Sarah Palin’s lawyer, Thomas Van Flein, made an absurd threat in his battle to get the Legislature to back off its ethics investigation of the governor and her staff.Van Flein said legislative investigator Steve Branchflower tried to call First Gentleman Todd Palin directly on “a secure and confidential line. This represents a serious security breach that we may be obligated to report to the Secret Service.”
Is this the model of open, reformist government Sarah Machiavelli Palin has been advertising?
