Political Jackass

If Palin has nothing to hide why does she keep changing her story of what really went on? Why is the McCain campaign doing everything they can think of to stop the investigation AFTER she agreed to cooperate? How can anyone trust this woman?

Aides to Gov. Sarah Palin won’t comply with subpoenas issued by state lawmakers investigating the firing of Alaska’s former public safety commissioner, since Palin “has declined to participate” in the probe, her attorney general says.

“As state employees, our clients have taken an oath to uphold the Alaska Constitution, and for that reason, they respect the legislature’s desire to carry out an investigation in support of its law-making powers,” Attorney General Talis Colberg, a Palin appointee, told the investigation’s manager in a letter released Wednesday. “However, our clients are also loyal employees subject to the supervision of the governor.”

Palin once pledged to cooperate with the state Legislature’s investigation into the July firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. After his dismissal, Monegan accused Palin of trying to pressure him into firing her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper who had been involved in an acrimonious divorce from the governor’s sister.

Palin has denied any wrongdoing. Her allies argue the investigation has become a “partisan circus” since she became Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain’s running mate, and they argue that any investigation should be handled by the state personnel board. From CNN
