Rick isn't confused about the facts, he was just quoting the
title of a comedy album.

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."

Yeah, that should been "She was attempting to get..." IAC, the rest
remains. She "abused her power." She didn't do it for financial gain
and the reason is one that few with quarrel with if she wasn't the GOP
veep candidate. As far as firing the PSC (or whatever Mondrigan's ???
title was), that was found to be "lawful" and while the BIL's situation
was part of that firing, it wasn't the sole reason, nor, apparently, the
substantive reason. IMO, the "abuse" was the attempt at getting the BIL
fired, not the firing of the PSC. Did the replacement PSC fire the BIL?

Great fictional clarification. Now how about explaining away her
husbands $100+K, come-when-you-want-to job with the oil companies, or
better yet what she did with the "bridge-to-nowhere" money she let
folks at the convention believe that she turned back, AFTER she double
crossed Senator Stevens(R). Either one should provide a suitable
venue for creative writing.

But at least you do seem to do some of your own reading, as opposed to
the "Bills" who apparently are too lazy to check anything themselves
but prefer to just riff off of other posters. Laziness is non-
partisan.

ROTFLMAO. ZERO credibility.

simmer down, Bill. They were reporting a publicly filed
document. Questioning their credibility under such conditions make you look
like an ideologically driven idiot. Which, apparently, you seem determined
to be.
