Re: Troopergate...

First, after (2) wonderful mea culpas/smackdowns for McPalin late yesterday, I woke up this morning with a feeling of relief for some reason!

I know it's not over, and that they cannot be trusted, but I still felt that way.

Over on Jed, there's a great video Jed did with McCain's words over "the ad" from yesterday.

Also, there's a great piece that helps to understand.

Paraphrasing so I don't get it trouble again: there are two parts to the report. 1) Because the trooper was an "at-will" employee, she technically didn't break a law firing him, because at-will people can be let go (or quit themselves) without any reason.

2) However, she did "violate the public trust" which is against/part of the law...especially because Todd was so deeply involved.

Run over there to Jed's house real quick while we wait for Al's analysis...
