It's also a stab at the republican swiftboating against Kerry, though in this case, the message is true(and she was convicted of abuse of power, something she recently said she'd fight in washington... hmm).; 10:35 PM

Her husband, Todd, asked that the Trooper be removed from his job, as he should have been. He should have been placed in the slammer. When the State Trooper's boss refused to even investigate the problem, she fired him.

Partisan politics and news media spin.; 10:59 PM

No, she wasn't They somehow found that she abused her authority by firing a person who, by said person's own admission, could be terminated for any reason.

Read that again: the alleged "victim" admitted he served at her pleasure. If she stood in the middle of the street and said she fired him because he wouldn't fire the trooper, the victim said that was permissible and it was, in fact, legal.

What got her was a group of legislators, for political purposes, finding that she had committed an ethical breach by pressuring subordinates to fire the guy. Frankly speaking, that's as bogus and worthless a "conclusion" as there can be.; 12:53 PM
