Here's the link, from the Anchorage Daily News: Kopp hiring proved Palin's fundamentalist street cred.
But Gov. Palin did not promote a socially conservative agenda during her first two years as governor and some Alaska right-wing commentators called her an economic liberal. Send us a sign, national fundamentalist Christian leaders seemingly said, that proves your credentials.... Kenai City Police Chief Chuck Kopp was a rising star in Alaska's Christian conservative movement.
So she hired him to replace the guy she fired for not firing her ex-brother-in-law.
Then, two weeks later, he is forced to resign for an old sexual harrassment scandal - which she admits that she knew about before she hired him. (She claims she thought he'd been fully cleared. He hadn't.)
