Troopergate Begins...

Several of Sarah Palin's top aides defied subpoeanas to testify today at a legislative hearing into her firing of a state Public Safety Commissioner who refused to fire Palin's former brother-in-law:

Palin fired Walt Monegan, the public safety commissioner, in July. He claims he was fired for refusing to fire a state trooper who had gone through a nasty divorce from Palin's sister.

He claims he was pressured by Palin, her husband and members of her staff to fire the trooper.

Ah, but this is the excuse-heavy God-Obsessed-Party we're dealing with, so they have a ready-made answer:

Palin denies the charge, and says he was dismissed over budget disagreements.

Palin claims that the Commissioner travelled to Washington DC without authorization. Just one problem with that, Sarah...it's a lie.

When will people stop believing these prevaricators?
