Quote (silverspoon @ Oct. 12 2008,15:31) | Sorry Alby, FTK ‘s blog doesn’t say what your replication of FTK’s blog says. I’m sure you were just reading it with crossed eyes, or maybe your materialistic pre-conceptions tainted your view. I’m sure it’s all your fault for misreading what she originaly wrote. |
Imagine that. And one wonders why FtK can't be trusted with an edit button here...
The current version Quote | Yeah, Palin's just a beast. She had a hand in the firing of a public safety commissioner due, in part, to his refusal to fire a state trooper for unlawful behavior. Bad, bad Sarah. |
is still wrong. Palin didn't "have a hand in" firing Monegan, as the governor, she had hiring/firing responsibilities and she fired him herself. No other hands were involved. She tried to keep her hands clean by pressuring Monegan to do her dirty work for her (since she doesn't have hiring/firing responsibilities for individual troopers). But in the end she, and she alone, had to fire Monegan since he took a principled stand and refused to bypass his own department's regulations just to placate the governor.
Additionally, Monegan (and his successor) refused to fire the trooper because the internal investigation indicated that there was no cause to fire him. His alleged behavior may be unlawful, but "alleged" may not be the same as reality here, since he was disciplined but not fired. He would have been fired if laws were broken. Confusion between alleged and real seems to be something else that FtK has in common with her hero, Gov. Bush Lite.
Nice work, FtK. Not only do you demonstrate your usual inadequate command of the facts, you also got to show us how you'd rather edit silently than take responsibility for an error or two...
