Palin says she didn't exactly fire Commissioner Monegan -- He quit after refusing a demotion.

From The New Yorker -

She said that one of her goals had been to combat alcohol abuse in rural Alaska, and she blamed Commissioner Monegan for failing to address the problem. That, she said, was a big reason that she’d let him go—only, by her account, she didn’t fire him, exactly. Rather, she asked him to drop everything else and single-mindedly take on the state’s drinking problem, as the director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. “It was a job that was open, commensurate in salary pretty much—ten thousand dollars less”—but, she added, Monegan hadn’t wanted the job, so he left state service; he quit.

1. Yeah, from public safety commissioner to liquor control, with an almost $1000 a month pay cut--

Gee, I can't understand why he wouldn't take it? :eyes:

3. Spoken like a true corporate word-masher. Doesn't anyone see through this dim ditz?

This is so typical of these guys - repuke in gov or repuke in the private sector..they are all of the same ugly bucket of slime.
