What does it mean when Palin won’t cooperate with legislative investigation?

FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

Governor Sarah Palin is being investigated by lawmakers in her home state of Alaska. At issue: Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan and whether he was fired because he refused to pink slip a state trooper who divorced Palin’s sister.

But Palin is refusing to cooperate with the investigation. Shades of President Bush. Embarrassing investigation? Just refuse to cooperate and claim it’s all someone else’s fault.

Palin says the probe’s been hijacked by the Obama campaign for political gain. But Monegan was fired and the investigation begun long before Palin was named to the Republican ticket.

The Obama campaign denies the accusation.

McCain’s people say Palin will not cooperate with the investigation because it is “tainted.” They insist Monegan was fired because of insubordination.

Palin has not been subpoenaed, but last Friday Alaska lawmakers voted to subpoena her husband, several aides and telephone records. This kind of stuff may also explain why Sarah Palin is reluctant to do interviews or news conferences.

Here’s my question to you: What does it mean that Gov. Sarah Palin is refusing to cooperate with the investigation into the firing of her public safety commissioner?

Tune in to the Situation Room at 4pm to see if Jack reads your answer on air.

1. People who've done nothing wrong have nothing to hide

Isn't that true, Mr. Bush?

2. If he was fired for insubordination...

...was the insubordination not firing her former brother-in-law?

[Lucky 13]

12. No, they made up a new story about that.

I read somewhere that they are claiming insubordination because Walt Monegan (a descent man whom I have met personally) apparently was working to try to get funding for a program that Palin already vetoed.

That's the excuse... for the next ten minutes.

3. There's a stench that just seems to follow Ms Sarah everywhere

She's beginning to reek.

4. All of the comments say she's hiding her guilt

5. Andrew Halcro has a good entry in his blog

here http://www.andrewhalcro.com/test_0 . He's been a continual critic of Governor Palin since he ran against her for governor in 2006 as an independent. A lot of people have accused him of "sour grapes," but it appears he will have the last laugh.

11. Thanks for the link. Palin is full of contradictions, isn't she?

She is a fine example of this Republican characteristic. Lie, lie, lie and lie some more, and if that doesn't work, lie again. And, if that doesn't work, or even if it does, avoid scrutiny by blaming the Democrats for exploiting their good Republican name.

9. K&R! n/t

[girl gone mad]

10. I'm so happy that he's back. n/t

[LiberalHeart]

13. Me, too. His welcome back tugged the heart yesterday.

I thought he was going to cry when Wolf expressed his condolences and Jack mentioned all the thousands of people who sent him messages. Then when he was back on later in the show, he was as feisty as ever.

14. just fucking arrest her. nt
