What's to spin? She did it. She "abused her power." Every executive,
political or private business, has done it. In fact, every person with
power has likely "abused" it at some point. And so what? She got her
sister's husband, who admits he was a drunk who smacked around his wife
and kids AND acknowledges he deserved being fired, fired "outside of
channels." Was it "abuse?" Absolutely. Was it "wrong?" I'd offer
that if she weren't McCain's running mate, 90-something percent of US
adults would say no. If it had been a "non-personal" thing where she
had "abused her power" to rid the force of some unrelated wife-beating,
kid-Tasering drunk, not only would most folks not care, most would
support the "abuse of power."

A little confused by facts, aren't you? Starting with, the sister's
husband wasn't the one fired.
