The GOP's "Dead Parrot" sketch continues

OK, I've always been pissed that the mainstream media ALWAYS lets McCain get away with his "I have a perfect voting record on Vets issues." Whenever McCain is confronted over his horrible record on veterans' issues, his usual response is "Not it's not" and the reporter meekly shrugs their head and moves on to the next bogus question.
Seeing how well that's worked for the GOP candidate for President, Gov Palin now is saying her guilt is "resting after an extended squawk " (per CBS News)
"In a brief conference call with press reported by the Anchorage Daily News, Palin said, "I'm very, very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing … any hint of any kind of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that."
And, as usual, the mainstream media rolled over obediently and moved on to the next question.
Folks, we need to make sure that our own little part of the 4th Estate that despite how many times the candidates deny there's a dead parrot in the cage, they need to follow up and report the truth.
The statement we need to repost on every news website is this:
"The report affirmed that, as governor, she had the constitutional right to hire and fire at will, and therefore her termination of Monegan was lawful.
However, the report found that Palin, her husband Todd, and her subordinates used pressure and intimidation to try to force the firing of Michael Wooten, beginning before her swearing-in ceremony took place, and therefore broke the law.
The investigation said she violated Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act, which states, "… each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust."
GET BUSY!!!
