The only possibility I can see is that someone using the moniker "Matt Volz" has hacked the Associated Press. How else to explain this new story
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — 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.
That's some straight reporting of the facts there. Is Ron Fournier incapacited or something?
Of course, they aren't perfect. While they do go on to note that one of them personnel board members donated to Palin's 2006 campaign:
The other investigation is overseen by the state Personnel Board, a three-member panel appointed by the governor. Panel members can be fired by the governor for cause. Two members are holdovers from the previous governor and Palin reappointed the third.
One, Alfred Tamagni Sr., donated $400 to Palin's 2006 campaign. Petumenos has donated money to several Democratic candidates.
they don't mention the details of the other two board members.
Laura Plenert is also a staunch Republican based on her donations record.
The third one is Debra English, who was re-appointed by Sarah Palin, and has no federal or state contributions that I can find.
Moreover, there's been relatively little thought in the traditional media about just how absurd and repulsive Palin's current claim as to why she fired Monegan truly is.
In CNN's less-than-thorough story on the rape kit billing controversy (among other things, they seem to have not done a thorough reading of the recently released line-item budgets), they did bring that issue up and tie it in to some extent, though they also quote noted Internet troll Jill Hazelbaker.
However, all things considered, the traditional media is doing a pretty good job on Troopergate.
