Another Ethics Complaint Against Sarah Palin

  I told you that Palin would be the gift that keeps on giving. Of course, we all knew that already.

Zane Henning, the Wasilla man who made a public records request for thousands of e-mails from Palin aides, has filed a new ethics complaint against the governor.

His charge: That Palin is breaking state ethics rules by talking about her campaign and promoting her political career from her state office. He’s focusing largely on this recent interview with Greta Van Susteren in the Atwood building, but also cites her Nov. 7 interview with reporters in the lobby of the governor’s office.

“These video reports show Sarah Palin speaking to numerous reporters in her Republican vice-presidential candidate capacity defending and still promoting herself and not as the governor of Alaska representing Alaskans,” Henning writes.

Here's the complaint. Henning says he had a courier deliver it to Attorney General Talis Colberg this morning. He’s looking for a Personnel Board investigation into the accusations.    Entire Article

Vice President Cheney Indicted

   I've just got home from work, so I'm not to sure on the details of this story.

   The story I'm quoting comes from Fox News, but I'll be looking for other sources as the evening goes on.

A South Texas grand jury has indicted Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners in Willacy County's federal detention centers.

The indictment criticizes Cheney's investment in the Vanguard Group, which holds interests in the private prison companies running the federal detention centers. It accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and "at least misdemeanor assaults" on detainees by working through the prison companies.

Gonzales is accused of using his position while in office to stop an investigation into abuses at the federal detention centers.

  We'll see what else pops up on this story.
