Once again eonerated, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin officially is ruled the victim of a Democrat-inspired smear by prosecutor Steve Branchflower, according to an independent investigator hired by the Alaska Personnel Board.
In a report released Monday, the investigator said Branchflower miscontrued evidence and applied the wrong state laws in order to claim Palin abused her office by firing Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. The report provides last-minute vindication for Gov. Palin, who had claimed that Branchflower's investigation had been motivated by partisan politics.
With voters casting ballots Tuesday, the board decided to release the normally secret findings after the governor waived her privacy rights.
Although the first investigation found Palin violated no laws and was within her right to dismiss the state employee, Branchflower made it appear she abused her position as governor. Of course, the media was glad to run with the abuse-of-power smear.
The question is: will mainstream media have the guts tonight to admit the truth, even if voting is mostly over by time for the evening news to air. If the exoneration was for the Obama campaign on a similar issue, the networks eagerly would have broken into daytime programming, right? Did they for Palin?
