So Friday evening the “troopergate” report came out (see Wendy’s post) and it was at the top of every news web page.  It said that Sarah Palin abused her power - which considering she could potentially be our VP and even our President is a pretty big deal.
When I woke up Saturday morning the story was gone.  It had moved down considerably on most news websites.  Which means unless you are a dork like me and you stay in on Friday nights you might have missed the fact that our VP candidate was found to ABUSE HER POWER. Why this isn’t bigger news I am unsure of.  Finally there is a piece of real legitimate news against a woman that many folks have only been able to shake their heads at - and the story gets buried.
Sigh.
Here’s some of the coverage in case you missed it
Time
takepart to read the report and go after the jump for a video - including a conversation with the fired trooper.

In a desperate attempt to spin this mess, Palin is now claiming that the Troopergate investigation clears her of any wrongdoing, which it does not. We can’t afford eight more years of another administration that abuses their power. Sign this petition urging Palin to stop the lies and walk the ethics reform talk by removing herself from the presidential ticket now: http://go.care2.com/17292327
