Sarah Palin's original claim that Walt Monegan was ultimately fired for taking an unauthorized trip to Washington, D.C. is false. Documents recently obtained by ABC include a Travel Authorization form which was filed and approved prior to Monegan's trip to the nation's capitol. The former Public Safety Commissioner was also said to have been "egregiously insubordinate" and a "rogue" actor within Alaska's public sphere. Those claims are yet to be supported by any tangible evidence.
It's obvious now that this scandal in not so clear-cut after all. Palin initially welcomed a full investigation but has now been stonewalling for the better part of 2 months. She's apparently caught in a bold-face lie here with this "unauthorized trip" nonsense, and who knows what other revelations will be revealed before the official report is published on October 10th. The one thing that is certain is that Palin has the capacity for duplicity.
She jumped on the Straight-Talk Express after the engine had quit and tried to fix it with some good ole folksy- hockey mom- abortion hating-gun toting-creationist tools, and some lies of her own. Now she's in a muddled mess that could derail the Express for good.

My favorite part is that even though she says the investigation is "tainted" she still talks about how her former brother-in-law was such a bad person (she did it in the Gibson interview). It is almost like OJ Simpson, If I Did It.
Maxwell's Hammer is my favorite spot on the internets for news and opinion. There really is no finer source nor more diligent reporting than the intrepid 'Hammer' and his crack team of international correspondents.
