UNION FILES COMPLAINT AGAINST PALIN

From NBC's Aram Roston and Amna Nawaz
The GOP candidate for vice president, Gov. Sarah Palin, may be facing yet another ethics investigation back in her home state of Alaska.

An ethics complaint obtained by NBC News was filed yesterday by the police officers' union in Alaska, requesting a probe into possible wrongdoing by the governor or her office. It was brought on behalf of state trooper, Mike Wooten, the ex-brother in law of Palin, who is at the center of the "Troopergate" scandal.

The complaint alleges that the governor or her staff may have have improperly disclosed information from Wooten's personnel records. The complaint alleges "criminal penalties may apply."

"It seems obvious to us somebody has improperly accessed personnel file," John Cyr, director of the union that filed the complaint, told NBC News.

The McCain-Palin campaign today launched a spirited defense when contaced by NBC News. They say the personnel files were not protected. A campaign source says Wooten himself had previously signed a waiver allowing a divorce lawyer to obtain his personnel records. The campaign then sent a copy of that waiver to NBC News, which reads, "I hereby waive any privilege I may have to said information to said attorneys."

1. Jon Stewart was right. She must know Santa. She just keeps giving and giving and giving.

:rofl:

2. Is she now going to add 'attorney' to her resume'?

"I hereby waive any privilege I may have to said information to said attorneys."

Therefore she had no right to access said information.

3. This is getting better by the minute! eom

4. When you waive a right as in

this case I believe the waver applies to limited uses and for limited people. (As implied by "said information to said attorneys")

Unlimited release and unlimited use would be rare, I should think!

5. Obama has good luck with divorce papers

In the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, Obama was trailing Blair Hull until the release of some unpleasant stuff from Hull's divorce. Then, in the general election, the Republicans had a credible candidate in Jack Ryan -- until he had to withdraw following the release of some unpleasant stuff from his divorce. That's when the Republicans turned to Alan Keys, a somewhat less formidable adversary.

So, now, material that was produced in confidence in the McCann-Wooten divorce gets illegally released by Palin for political purposes, thereby swinging the election to Obama.

All of these strokes of luck -- damn, those people in Moneygall are right. He is an Irishman named O'Bama.
