Less than two months before the Presidential election, Vice Presidential nominee Alaska Governor Sarah Palin faces an ethics investigation into her role in firing her state’s Public Safety Commissioner. Walt Monegan says he was terminated because he rebuffed intense pressure from the governor and her aides to dismiss Mike Wooten, a state trooper who was involved in a messy custody battle with Palin’s sister. The scandal has come to be known as “Troopergate,” and, while Palin initially agreed to fully cooperate with an investigation into it, she has now backtracked on that pledge. Meanwhile, the McCain campaign is working furiously to defuse the investigation – an action that is itself questionable in terms of ethics. The McCain-Palin ticket has claimed that Palin’s record as governor of Alaska proves her willingness to take on government corruption. “Troopergate” threatens to derail that claim. <\/p>\n
