Troopergate Revisited

We all remember Troopergate, when Palin and the First Dude abused the governor's office to try to get Palin's ex-brother-in-law fired.

Now here comes another trooper to cause her problems:

Investigator Kyle Young sent an e-mail to the Public Safety Employees Association saying the search warrant of Johnston's house was delayed for political reasons, the Anchorage Daily News reported Monday.

"It was not allowed to progress in a normal fashion, the search warrant WAS delayed because of the pending election and the Mat Su Drug Unit and the case officer were not the ones calling the shots," Young wrote in the Dec. 30 e-mail.

The warrant was delivered the same day as Sherry Johnston's arrest.

To add to the fun, Tripp's father is now unemployed after it was pointed out he wasn't qualified for the job:

Levi Johnston, the boyfriend of Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol, has quit his North Slope oil field job over questions about his eligibility to work in an electrical apprenticeship program, Johnston's father said Monday.

Johnston, 18, began working this fall in the Milne Point oil field with ASRC Energy Services Inc., a major Slope contractor.

In a Sunday newspaper column, Anchorage radio talk show host Dan Fagan questioned how Johnston could take part in ASRC's apprenticeship program without a high school diploma.

Fagan said he understood federal regulations require all members of apprenticeship programs to have a diploma. He also questioned whether the governor might have had a hand in getting Johnston into the program.

Palin adamantly denied that Monday.

Eh. Delays in criminal investigations and her grandbaby's daddy mysteriously landing a job he wasn't qualified for. Oh, how do these things happen?

The thing that is really ironic is that many on the right think that Palin is their future. She seems more like their past and present.

    It's so damn hard to keep all those bizarre names straight. Only if I had a Palin name generator to help me keep them straight.

    Correction duly made, BTW.

  2. Thought you had a good scoop there.

    As they say in Nova Scotia, 'What's the most confusing day on Cape Breton Island? Father's Day.'
