Say you held a meeting and nobody showed up.....

Looks like as long as people like Bailey are still on the payroll they won't talk. Why talk and loose a fat paycheck while sitting home or selling coffee over at his stand on Brayton Dr? Wish I could sit home and collect a paycheck for drinking coffee...

How refreshing to see the "Change" in the McClown Republican party. what a crock, it's ALL about obfuscation, denial and blaming someone else for their woes. As usual - "small man" politics from a "small" man. Who do they think they're kidding? Hold them all accountable you honorable Alaskans.

French needs to take action against those who refuse to testify. State law is clear. The Legislature has the power to issue subpoenas, and there are criminal consequences for those who fail to comply with those subpoenas. As such, jail time may be in order for this gaggle of Palin cult worshipers who are refusing to comply with state law, in order to protect the "image" of Sarah Palin. If French does nothing, the Lower 48 McCain-Palin campaign folks have effectively neutralized the powers of our state govenrment. No matter what side of the fence you stand on in Alaska -the one thing none of us can stand is someone from the Lower 48 telling us what to do and when we can do it. Consequently, French cannot allow these idiots to sabotage the powers of the Alaska state government with their bullying efforts through the media and courts. I would posit one more thing. I believe those cell phone records, and Bitney's testimony alone will reveal some pretty nasty conclusions regarding the actions of Sarah Palin with regard to Trooper Wooten. And I would suggest that Branchflower's Report should be released on time -with or without the testimony of the Palin cult worshipers. Last thing is this: Sarah Palin doesn't give a rats ass about Alaska. She has used Wasilla, and now the State -to further her own image and political aspirations. Enough is enough.

The state employees involved apparently forgot that their duty is to the US and Alaska constitutions and US and Alaska laws, not to the governor or any person. If they (or the McCain campaign) feel that subpoenas are illegal, they deal with it by going to court and getting a judge to agree. The fact that O'Callaghan/Van Flein and other McCain operatives are not taking that step indicates that they know they have a loser on their hands.

No one, but no one, is above the law. What we need is a Truth Squad! Oh, I almost forgot! We have one - don't we????? http://thepalintruthsquad.com/

Since these people are above the legislative law and the like. I want to know who signs the checks that pays the salaries of these people. If it is the State of Alaska I want to know why they are not fired for insubordination...what is good for the goose is also there for the gander. I want them fired, as a citizen of this state and one that teaches my kids to be responsible for their actions I want these people dealt with-

Is it not unlawful to skip court?

Mr. Halcro, Given the current bizarre circumstance - that Ms. Palin (and to God knows what extent, her husband) is a nominated candidate for the vice-presidency - your page is a great public service to the citizens of the 49 states who do not know the Palins. I am sure that it is for the citizens of Alaska as well, although, entertaining as your politics are, it wouldn't matter quite as much if their exploits were confined to your majestic state. In any case, I appreciate what you are doing, and I am referring as many people as possible to your account of the whole affair. Thank you, Michael Peffley Harrisburg PA
