I know it's just a small thing, but listen to the tone of this first paragraph from an AP story:
Less than a week after balking at the Alaska Legislature's investigation into her alleged abuse of power, Gov. Sarah Palin on Monday indicated she will cooperate with a separate probe run by people she can fire.
I know we wish that they would just come out and say that the Repubs have pulled another "Florida 2000" with this Trooper-gate story, but I sort of like the snide tone the story starts with. A good sign all in all.
