Interesting piece in Newsweek, after summarizing the Blanchflower report, points out that there's more to come.

Some weeks ago, the McCain team devised a plan to have Palin file an ethics complaint against herself with the State Personnel Board, arguing that it alone was capable of conducting a fair, nonpartisan inquiry into whether she fired Monegan because he refused to fire Wooten, who had been involved in a messy custody battle with her sister. Some Democrats ridiculed the move, noting that the personnel board answered to Palin. But the board ended up hiring an aggressive Anchorage trial lawyer, Timothy Petumenos, as an independent counsel. McCain aides were chagrined to discover that Petumenos was a Democrat who had contributed to Palin's 2006 opponent for governor, Tony Knowles. Palin is now scheduled to be questioned next week, and the counsel's report could be released soon after.

Will we actually get to hear Palin respond to a not totally sympathetic questioner one more time before the election?

Meanwhile, Time has an interesting take on the Branchflower report.

[T]he Branchflower report still makes for good reading, if only because it convincingly answers a question nobody had even thought to ask: Is the Palin administration shockingly amateurish? Yes, it is. Disturbingly so.

The 263 pages of the report show a co-ordinated application of pressure on Monegan so transparent and ham-handed that it was almost certain to end in public embarrassment for the governor. The only surprise is that Troopergate is national news, not just a sorry piece of political gristle to be chewed on by Alaska politicos over steaks at Anchorage's Club Paris.

Is Caribou Barbie really the best McCain could do?

The better question would have been: "Is McCain the best Palin could have done?"

No that's sounds more like something you'd do. Damn cat has no health care, doesn't have a right to live.......

Not my fault Palin doesn't know how to work a condom so that knowledge couldn't trickle down to her daughter.

i got a shiny nickel that says it'll get bigger. and i'd be very surprised if palin cooperates until after the election.

done when alaska settles out of court
