Never throw pearls before swine...
Looks like the rug is being pulled out from under Sarah Palin.
Last week - a Superior Court Judge ruled that the legislative body assigned to investigate allegations against her for "abuse of power" - has proper jurisdiction to review the issues.
Subsequently, a lawsuit filed to block the investigation was summarily dismissed.
Up until that swift sure ruling, Palin's "soldiers" - seven scurrilous aides who have stood by their Ice Queen in the scandal that has been brewing in recent weeks - were inclined to thumb their noses at the investigation and ignore subpoenas.
That was troubling for a couple of reasons.
For starters, the "subpoena" practice was instituted by lawmakers to ensure that hostile witnesses appeared before a proper legal authority when summoned.
In addition, laws were also put in place, to penalize those who disobeyed a summons under the premise that the overt act was in "contempt of court".
If Palin and her gang of rogue aides are inclined to disobey the laws of the land in the throes of the election process, just imagine the kind of despicable illegal conduct they'll be furthering once they are firmly ensconced in the hallowed halls of the White House.
Without doubt - the Palinites will follow Rove's cue - and cite executive privilege to avoid close scrutiny of their wrongful acts.
While new developments in the saga have left some scratching their heads, I'm not fooled, to say the least.
Yes, it has been reported that the Palin scoundrels will now testify, in respect to the issues at hand.
Break out the Moosebear, dudes!
Are they taking a cue from O.J. Simpson's friends and business associates (who turned on him during the recent robbery and kidnapping trial) in order to save their own precious hides?
The answer may be twofold.
Since the court dismissed the legal action in respect to jurisdiction, the Palin miscreant's are painfully aware now that failure to appear to testify, may result in criminal action for contempt of court.
Notwithstanding - because the head investigator has noted for the record the investigation is almost complete - they undoubtedly have come to recognize the folly of their ways.
If the Palin camp doesn't offer up some defense in the proceedings, Republicans may lose their bid for a verdict of not guilty for Sarah.
Palin, on the other hand, remains misguided and - basically - in a sad funk.
According to the latest press reports, Sarah is stridently arguing to anyone within earshot, that the State's personnel board should investigate the firing which has her up on charges for alleged abuse of power.
Since Palin has the authority to "fire" a member of the personnel board, isn't it obvious to the dizzy broad, that there is a conflict of interest?
Moreover, does she honestly think the personnel board would feel comfortable ruling on such an issue, when she is currently accused of firing an employee that refused to obey her wishes before?
It's obvious to any fool, they'd be next on her hit list!
Palin stepped into a heap of Moose dung day one when she refused to cooperate with the investigation.
Before the whole scandal has gone bye-bye, Ms. Goody two-shoes will be eating crow, no doubt.
Sophisticated city slickers are light years ahead of you, Sarah.
Time you got up to speed and fessed up.
