They did this so Wednesday when the dumb bitch is back in Alaska they'll still have jobs.

i thought she was found to not have violated laws like 2 weeks ago

...isn't this the investigative group that she started or something? so that it would be nonpartisan?

Debaser · 11-04-2008, 01:26 AM

yeah she filed an ethics complaint against herself, to activate the investigation by this governor-appointed board.

Debaser · 11-04-2008, 01:27 AM

shit is jokes.

report:

The Branchflower Report ... states that violation of the scope of code provision may be based on the governor's inaction as opposed to the governor's affirmative acts.

...

But ... the Ethics Act does not require a person subject to its provisions to police the behavior of third parties who are not subject to its provisions. To find that the Governor violated the Ethics Act by failing to control her husband's behavior would require one to add language to the Ethics Act that does not exist.

I'm pretty sure Jon Stewart mentioned this after the actual investigation came out - that there was going to be a 2nd "more credible" investigation, by her own people that she hired, that says she did nothing wrong and how they'll explain that this is the "only investigation that matters".

I just figured it wouldn't be the night before election day.
