Probe seeks subpoenas for Palin's husband

By GottaLaff

Looks like the "first dude" is in deep dude-y:

The investigator looking into whether Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power in trying to get her former brother-in-law fired is asking state lawmakers for the power to subpoena Palin's husband, Todd.

The probe has taken on new significance since Republican presidential candidate John McCain picked Palin as his running mate.

Retired prosecutor Stephen Branchflower asked the state House and Senate judiciary committees for power to subpoena 13 witnesses, including Todd Palin.

"He's such a central figure. ... I think one should be issued for him," Branchflower said.

The committees were expected to grant the request.

Branchflower said he wants to interview Palin herself, but did not ask for a subpoena for her.

Drip. Drip. Drip.
