Troopergate, Redux

By now you've heard the story of Troopergate. As governor, Sarah Palin fired Alaska's Public Safety Commissioner. Many say he was fired because he refused to fire Palin's ex brother-in-law. Palin claims that he was fired because of insubordination, for taking an unauthorized trip to Washington. Earlier this week, several Palin-connected witnesses refused to testify after being subpoenaed in the probe, risking contempt citations from the Republican-controlled legislature.

Today comes news that the Public Safety Commissioner in question had authorization to travel from Palin's Chief of Staff Mike Nizich. Another week, another set of lies from the McCain-Palin team.
