Behind the Scenes Update for Hard-Core Troopergate Devotees
From The Mudflats: http://mudflats.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/behind-the-scenes-update-for-hard-core-troopergate-devotees/

Stretch your mind back for a minute. Remember when a group called Alaskans for Truth collected all those signatures asking for the immediate resignation or dismissal of Alaska Attorney General, Talis Colberg for telling state employees it was OK to ignore legislative subpoenas? There was a big rally (the biggest in the history of the state) and more than 2000 signatures were collected in the span of a couple days. Then they were delivered to the governor’s office in Anchorage. They were supposed to be delivered to Lt. Governor Sean Parnell….but he decided to stay holed up in his office with the blinds drawn, so we got this guy:



That’s Bill McAllister. He used to work as a newscaster at KTUU, Anchorage’s NBC affiliate. Now he’s Sarah Palin’s Communications Director. Meghan Stapleton used to work as a newscaster at KTUU, Anchorage’s NBC affiliate, too. I’m beginning to sense a pattern here…

As any good Truth Squaddite would do, McAllister is still not content to let the Troopergate investigation conducted by Stephen Branchflower and the Legislative Council rest. All those state employees (plus Todd Palin) who didn’t show up for their depositions? Right at the end, they acquiesced and wrote up a quick statement with the help of the McCain cadre of lawyers.

Well, Bill wasn’t quite through smearing Walt Monegan, the ex-Commissioner of Public Safety whose firing caused the whole Troopergate fiasco. He wrote a little letter to local and national journalists which was a 50/50 mixture of scolding and whining. Linda Kellen Biegel (blogger Celtic Diva) who was present during the petition drop, didn’t like it much. As a matter of fact, it rankled her so badly that she posted an open letter to the aforementioned Mr. McAllister:

Worth a look. She’s maaaad.

Be sure to go to the link to read Celtic Diva's letter. It's awesome.

3. I'm SO looking forward to Sarah's return.
I'll bet she has no idea of just how pissed off people are up here. She and her minions have made a huge mistake disrespecting former allies as they have throughout the past two months. I think a recall is in order.

6. Oh, that's my absolute DREAM!
I want her recalled, or better yet, impeached. I am beyond belief that anyone takes her seriously--she's obviously a scheming manipulative politician in Alaska and a RW token tool nationally.

4. Yep, thanks for the update. I don't think most people realize...
how big this is up there. Anyone who thinks Palin will be running for Pres. in 2012 is crazy. She's going to be facing major punishment up there for the whole Troopergate thing and all of it's associated scandals and will most likely be impeached/recalled and then her political career is over.

9. I can't wait. I also can't wait for her to get the huge tax bills she is
running up with the clothes and the trips.
