Palin aide bails on talking to Legislature

Thomas Van Flein, an Anchorage lawyer being paid by the state to represent the governor, said he thinks only the state Personnel Board has the authority to look into what he considers an ethics matter involving the governor. He wants the Legislature to drop its investigation.

The governor is now running for vice president alongside Republican Sen. John McCain. Is the campaign calling the shots?

"I am making the legal strategy for the governor. I have a legal team. We conduct our own strategy internally. I am not working for the McCain campaign and they are not working for me," Van Flein said.

Oh, did I forget to mention? The Personnel Board? It's made up of three Palin appointees. Imagine that.

Does this smell like the Bush DoJ? Yes. Yes, it does.

If they behave like Bush/Cheney, it's because they ARE like Bush/Cheney.

Four More Years? FUCK NO.
