Well, the results are in. We all know that Sarah Palin was found guilty of an abuse of power. That's not the story.

The fact that Palin said to the press today, after a weekend of thinking about how she should respond,

"I'm very, very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrong doing in regards to Trooper Wooten. If they feel that he belongs in his job, then they should know. If they feel Trooper Wooten is capable and qualified......yada, yada, yada."

You know what? Funny thing. Troopergate was about Monegan, not Wooten. Sure the thing she harrassed Monegan about was Wooten. But it was the inappropriate ACTUAL firing of Monegan that was being investigated. If you listen again to her soundbite response, you'll hear her constantly emphasis being cleared in regards to Wooten.

Oh, Sarah, you're a tricky one. Still, not the story.

The fact that during this period, Todd Palin said he was not a regular visitor to the Palin Offices because he was working on building their home, now that's interesting.

Of course, we need to step back a moment. One of the largest, arguably THE LARGEST thing to happen in Wasilla since the history of Wasilla, was the awarding of a contract to build a $12 million sports center. You know who was awarded that contract? None other than the son of the head of the GOP for Alaska. You betcha.

And you know that house that Todd was building. Well, it started construction only 2 months before Palin was to leave office. All of the construction materials for the Palin's brand new $12 million dollar home that Todd built with his bare hands were donated by the same contractor/GOP's native son's construction company. Yeah. I guess the guys over at Alaska's Acme Contruction really know how to say, "thank you. "

We'll be here all week. Tip your waitress.
