Palin’s silence

The best thing Gov. Sarah Palin can do for herself right now is to explain exactly why she fired Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan on July 11. A nasty account of why she supposedly fired the commissioner was posted last week on the Web site of a Republican political rival, and the governor has strongly denied the accusation.

Looks like Palin comes out of this "smelling like a rose"! Take a look at this, just in, from palinforvp:

Pipeline passes State House as Monegan allegations implode!

This is a great night for Gov. Palin, the State of Alaska, and our movement! Gov. Palin's plan to build a natural gas pipeline was approved tonight by the State's House of Representatives, sending the plan to the Senate for final approval. If passed, the licensing of the TransCanada corporation to construct this pipeline will be the crowning achievement of the Palin administration.

Meanwhile, Gov. Palin has put out a press release containing information that devastates the allegations made by former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. For instance, did you know that Todd Palin was ordered to discuss Trooper Mike Wooten with Monegan by the head of the Governor's security detail? How about the fact that schedules disprove Monegan's claim that he only met with Palin four times in seventeen months? It turns out that they had over two-dozen meetings during that time, including several visits by Monegan to the Governor's home and joint trips to remote parts of Alaska. The circus looks to be drawing to a close, with Palin coming out squeaky clean!"
