I have some vague recollection of reading about this awhile back.
I just came across the article when Googling Alaska Senate President Lyda Green - a Republican who is backing the Troopergate investigation.
http://www.adn.com/opinion/story/295464.htmlexcerpt:
"Palin was clearly enjoying every second of Lester's vicious attack on her political rival.
But it gets worse.
Lester asks Palin point blank: "Do you have any idea of what you did, to make Lyda Green dislike you, hate you?" How does Palin respond? Does she do the right thing? What you would expect from a mature leader, a governor and say, "Bob, Lyda doesn't hate me."
No, she responds like a 13-year-old and says, "Um, you know once and a while I try to figure that out but I can't figure that out."
The Palin camp says the governor did call Green and apologize. That was the right thing to do. But the governor's statement shows the apology a half-hearted one.
The statement in part reads: "The Governor called Senator Green to explain that she does not condone name-calling in any way and apologized if there was a perception that the comment was attributed to the Governor."
But there's strong evidence Palin did condone Lester's name-calling. At the end of Lester making fun of Green as a mother, calling her a cancer, twice, and saying she has to go; after calling the senator a b----, making fun of her weight, and accusing Green of being jealous and hateful; after all of that, Lester ends the conversation offering to visit Palin.
