BIG SHOCK! Someone from Alaska actually filed a complaint about Gov. Palin using company time and her office for her interviews to lobby for her future run for President in 2012. The Anchorage Daily News reports that a "new ethics complaint filed Tuesday says she's already improperly mixing her official duties and broader political ambitions."

Follow up:

"The charge: That Palin broke state ethics rules by holding national television interviews about her run for vice president from the governor's office.

The complaint comes as Palin's personal life, her prospects as a future presidential candidate and everything she says and does continues to draw headlines.

Zane Henning, a North Slope worker from Wasilla, said he filed the complaint with the attorney general. He says Palin is promoting her future political career on state property, pointing in particular to the governor's Nov. 10 interview with Fox News Channel host Greta Van Susteren."

I'm proud of Mr. Henning, but I don't think he heard what happened in Troopergate and what happened to the last person that crossed Gov. Palin. Still, it warms my heart to see someone take a stand against "Caribou Barbie".

Mr. Henning went on to say:

"The governor is using her official position and office in an attempt to repair her damaged political image on the national scene,"

The Palin camp, besieged by interview requests, said the governor was no longer a candidate at the time of interviews, but otherwise had little to say about the complaint.

"The consideration of complaints under the executive branch ethics act is a confidential process, by law," wrote Palin spokesman Bill McAllister.

I suspect Mr. Henning will soon be an EX North Slope worker from Wasilla or his boss will if he doesn't toe Palin's line.

And, even if the legislative body were to find her guilty of ethics violations AGAIN, here is what I think she will do.

DENY, LIE, DENY!!!!
