Apparently, it involves writing endless spurious “ethics” complaints against Republicans – especially uppity women and minorities.
They’re running 0 and 13 against Sarah Palin, but then they were only meant to have shelf-life until the first Tuesday of last November, now, weren’t they?
Michael Geraghty, investigator for the State Personnel Board, concluded that there is no need for a hearing on the complaint filed in March by Andree McLeod, who has been a vocal critic of the governor since being denied employment with the state last year.This is the 13th ethics complaint against the governor or her staff that has been resolved with no finding of a violation of the executive ethics act. A few more are pending.
“While the complaint process under the ethics act can be a useful tool for holding state officials accountable, it’s obvious that political opponents of the governor have been abusing the system, attempting to turn their resentments into legal issues,” said Bill McAllister, the governor’s communications director. “We’re grateful that the personnel board and its investigators have taken a rational approach to these matters, finding that the vast majority of the complaints did not even warrant the collection of evidence because they failed to assert any violation of the law.”
But it gave them a shrieking point – “Governor Palin is under investigation!” – to sway the ill-informed and gullible during the campaign.
And that’s all the really matters, isn’t it?
“I can see Russia from my house!”
You can see Russia from Perth Amboy?
AC isn’t a total idiot, so he must know that the quote comes from Saturday Night Live.
‘Member the attacks on The Newt in the 90s? The Democrats went 1 for 66 in complaints against him. And the one that sort of stuck was that he taught a college class in Georgia that had political content. Imagine that.
Of course she never said anything remote close, it was an SNL sketch that other obtuse people couldn’t discern wasn’t real either. This fact alone makes that video of all of those Obama voters being interviewed about specific quotes during the campaign all that much funnier.
0 for 13. I expect, when Jindal commits the sin of running for President while being a not-white male Republican, he’ll be 0 for 45 before the convention.
True enough, Chuckwagon. And Al Gore never said he invented the Internet. And John Kerry wasn’t a simultaneous coward and war criminal in Vietnam. And Barack Obama isn’t a Muslim. But it’s all good in politics, eh wingnuts?
“I can see Russia from my house!”
Who was it who said that again? It sure sounds like something Sarah Palin would say. And you can’t prove she *never* said it, can you?
And John Kerry wasn’t a simultaneous coward and war criminal in Vietnam.
Well, maybe not SIMULTANEOUSLY. That would take some serious effort, and Kerry was too busy having Christmas in Cambodia seered, SEERED into his memory.
Mmmmmm, seered memory. . .
Silly Clown. John Kerry is a confessed war criminal. Under oath, before Congress.
“I can see Russia from my house!”
From her house in Alaska, our 56th state!!
And Al Gore never said he invented the Internet.
Technically correct. His actual quote was:
“During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.”
I guess all lefty gaffes are taken out of context, right mangy clown?
“And John Kerry wasn’t a simultaneous coward and war criminal in Vietnam.”
Ah, so the next moonbat I hear smugly proclaiming that Democrats can “walk and chew gum at the same time” gets bitch slapped to the pavement on your say-so, right Clown?
ill-informed and gullible = AssClown
right on cue

mangy clown, you’re such a dumba$$. That’s the exact quote I cited.
Man, the toxic fumes in Jersey are further deteriorating your already feeble mind.
It’s an explanation of why it’s false to say Gore claimed he invented the Internet, you silly little prick.
“Invented” vs “took the initiative to create”. I think Mr. Gore’s resume padding was pretty plain for an objective observer.
How’s that TV network of his doing?
AssClown gets taken to task by BradC.
Careful Brad, that could get you a shuning!!!
Bwwwaaahahahahahahahahaha
Nice meltdown, AssClown.

Dunno what Al Gore’s up to at the moment, Kerm. Hey, you think maybe John McCain’s using his new free time to get those crooked yellow choppers of his fixed?
Nah, Shiftee, Angryclown only shuns wingnuts who are dumber that you. And that’s a pretty tall order. BradC is a half-wit, which puts him comfortably in the mainstream of you far-right Mitchketeers.
Hey, you think maybe John McCain’s using his new free time to get those crooked yellow choppers of his fixed?
Mocking a war vet, this time about injuries received in service to his country. Do all you far-left types hate the military, Angry Clown?
Yes, Clownie. I think McCain should sue the North Vietnamese for smashing his teeth in. I hear those commies have really good socialized health care. It must extend to dental work, dontcha think?
Dunno what Al Gore’s up to at the moment, Kerm.
Bending you city boys over a cap and trade barrel.
Funny, I thought Congress had free dental.

Just because Barbara and David P. Mikkelson think Al Gore should be excused for saying “I took the initiative in creating the Internet” in front of a national audience at a presidential primary debate doesn’t make it “false”, angryclown.
They think it was only “a bit clumsy (and perhaps self-serving)”, but people can read what he said and judge for themselves, and so they do.
Whatevs, Trojan Man. It’s not a surprise to Angryclown that you’re willing to turn facts on their head to fit your silly Faux News perspective.
What “facts” are upside down, angryclown? He didn’t say “I invented the Internet”? Given. The “fact” is he said something similar and equally embarrassing, so suck it up princess.
And what is with the “Faux News perspective”? Did you pick that up in the DU, or did you come up with that yourself? Is it supposed to hammer your “point” home? If so, it isn’t working.
The only way to “hammer a point home” through your thick skull, Trojan Man, is with a ball-peen hammer.
Perhaps it’s the only way you can think to accomplish it, but I suppose options are limited for unfrozen caveman lawyers:
