Governor Palin’s speech tore the convention center down tonight. I’ve linked part one of her speech, from which you can find the subsequent parts. I can’t think of anything that Governor Palin left unsaid. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, the next Vice President of the United States!
Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Palin Files Ethics Complaint About Self
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported earlier today that Governor Sarah Palin has filed a complaint with the Personnel Board, which handles ethics complaints against government officials in Alaska. This comes after a $100,000 investigation was authorized by the Governor and the Legislature to investigate allegations that Governor Palin used improper influence to have her ex-brother-in-law fired from his position as a state trooper.
I think this is an encouraging sign. Where the Democratic investigation in the Alaska legislature is likely to drag on and on and continue to affect the Presidential election, an impartial investigation by a board that is empowered to do these kinds of investigations will be seen as less partisan and, therefore, the results will be more accurate.
Will this stop irresponsible speculation on Governor Palin’s actions? No. But it shows (just as all her other actions have) that the Governor is forthright and honest about her record.
