Palin Fired Old Friend Apparently For Who He Dated

[kpete]

Shadow Governor?

In the aftermath of the Walt Monegan firing, one question keeps surfacing over and over again; why does the governor's husband, Todd Palin appear to hold so much power?

..............................

Consider the story of one of Governor Palin's former trusted advisors, John Bitney.

Bitney grew up with the governor, often telling the story of being in the same band class. He served as her Issues Coordinator during her successful gubernatorial campaign in 2006, spokesman for her transition team after the election and on December 1, 2006 he was named her Legislative Liaison.

Bitney was respected as a hard worker by people who knew him and worked with him. In six months, Bitney guided the governor's policies through the legislature, including her hallmark legislation; AGIA.

But John Bitney made the fatal employment mistake; he got on the bad side of Todd Palin.

In June of 2007, it became known that Bitney was dating the soon to be ex-wife of Todd Palin's good friend. Palin reportedly began demanding that Bitney be fired.

1. She sure seems to have fired a bunch of people for personal reasons

And once again :wtf: is her husband doing in the middle of all of this?

2. This is so incredibly disturbing, I don't even know where to start. Sounds

like this lady and her husband keep an enemies list and use their (her?) position to settle personal scores. Can you imagine what they (she?) would do with the power of the VP office behind them (her?). I can't even begin to contemplate it.

6. This douche and his wife use the Governor's Office to settle scores for OTHER people.

How do they find the time to actually run the state?
