While Caribou Barbie won’t be seeing George Clooney across the deposition table, it looks as though Alaska’s personnel board retained a “fixer” to investigate Governor Palin.
Given that Timothy J. Petumenos has been hired by a state personnel board composed of three members sitting at the will of Governor Palin, it would have been silly to expect [...]

This a reply to Jaimes Rainey’s article appearing in the Los Angeles Times, CNN bid to tie Palin to secessionists is a stretch – The cable news network fails to show that Sarah Palin embraced the call by some in the Alaskan Independence Party to sever their beloved state from ‘the Lower 48.’

Alaska Governor Sara Palin and the McCain-Palin campaign are doing their best to discredit the Alaska Legislative Council report.
