Looks Like She Abused Her Powers Again

The Mike Wooten life ruiner herself looks to have done it again: Not abide by the own law that she is suppose to follow as the one in her state most accountable to do so.

As Sarah Palin settles back into her job as the state's chief executive, a new ethics complaint filed Tuesday says she's already improperly mixing her official duties and broader political ambitions.

The charge: That Palin broke state ethics rules by holding national television interviews about her run for vice president from the governor's office.

Who is charging her with this?

Zane Henning, a North Slope worker from Wasilla, said he filed the complaint with the attorney general. He says Palin is promoting her future political career on state property, pointing in particular to the governor's Nov. 10 interview with Fox News Channel host Greta Van Susteren.

"The governor is using her official position and office in an attempt to repair her damaged political image on the national scene," Henning wrote.

He must be some crazy liberal in Alaska doing this, huh?

He lives in Palin's hometown and describes himself as a fiscal conservative. He worked for Conoco Phillips until 2005 and is now an environmental coordinator on the North Slope for Pioneer Natural Resources.

Henning's also a member of a Valley conservative group called the Last Frontier Foundation -- local tax hawk and property rights activist Penny Nixon is the chairman, he said -- but said he filed the complaint on his own behalf.

As usual, the spin grandstanding of the cronies under Ms.Wasilla are giving their side of the story:

The Palin camp, besieged by interview requests, said the governor was no longer a candidate at the time of interviews, but otherwise had little to say about the complaint.

"The consideration of complaints under the executive branch ethics act is a confidential process, by law," wrote Palin spokesman Bill McAllister.

"The governor will respect that legal requirement for confidentiality, even if others do not."

And with how they have been able to maneuver and almost bury Wooten for good (though that is far FAR from over), they will certainly be keen enough to try to sniff this complaint out as well.

(By the way, I feel like I'm getting like mudflats, specifically doing posts about Alaska politic and its ridiculous shadiness.)
