I really cannot believe this douchebag actually is reporting this as some alleged controversy.
Gov. Sarah Palin is already facing ethical questions over her firing of the Alaska public safety commissioner, and now she faces questions over the firing of a longtime local police chief.Hey schmuck, when you become mayor, you can fire the police chief if you so desire. Is Ross really this fucking stupid?
After taking over as Mayor of the small town of Wasilla, Palin fired the longtime local police chief. The former police chief, Irl Stambaugh says he was fired because he stepped on the toes of Palin's campaign contributors, including bar owners and the National Rifle Association.
Stambaugh's lawyer, William Jermain, says the chief tried to move up the closing hours of local bars from 5 a.m. to two a.m. after a spurt of drunk driving accidents and arrests.
"His crackdown on that practice by the bars was not appreciated by her and that was one reason she terminated Irl," said Jermain.
See, if you are the mayor, that means you're in charge and the other public employees more or less report to you.
Really, I understand the media is stupid, and that never has been more on display than the past five days, but you would think something so simple as this couldn't possibly be reported.
Palin says she was up against entrenched insiders when she was elected mayor of Wasilla in 1996.Further destroying any shred of credibility that Ross had is he goes on to quote a Democrat at length, the same Democrat leading an "investigation" of another purported "scandal" involving Palin.
"We had a lot of people that were kind of dead wood," said Colleen Sullivan Leonard, a staff member in Palin's office. "We needed people with new energy and a new vision."
What Ross unwittingly does here is provide evidence Palin is more experienced that the community organizer from Chicago. What was Barack Obama doing in 1996 except going to visit the terrorist William Ayers as he tried to launch his political career?
