Mouthy McEthicless isn't happy. Remember that little ol' ethics complaint against her? What was it, number 12? Well, now Mouthy is all a-froth with indignance:
The official response to the 12th ethics complaint filed against Governor Palin came in the form of a state issued press release. The complaint is referred to as “outrageous.”
One thing in the press release was particularly disturbing:
Mike Nizich, the governor’s chief of staff [said] “I hope that the publicity-seekers will face a backlash from Alaskans who have a sense of fair play and proportion.”
That wasn't very nice, now was it? Imagine what the unofficial response was.
Linda Kellen-Biegel, has addressed this question [of what a backlash would mean] HERE.
“There’s a core hypocrisy in nearly all of the ethics complaints brought against the governor, including this one. The ethics act clearly states that complaints, when filed, are to be confidential. Ms. Tompkins publicized her filing on several blogs, breaking the letter and the spirit of the law. While there are no penalties in the statute for this illegal behavior, Alaskans of all political persuasions should be appalled that the people who are alleging unethical behavior by the governor are repeatedly doing so unethically.”
Wait. So they're saying it's unethical to allege unethical behavior? Why... why... that's unethical!
[O]ne of those who filed an ethics complaint against the governor did make very sure to do it in public, and announce it with lots of media attention, right before the election in November, with an obvious desire to influence voters. That person was Sarah Palin, herself. Oops.
I think there should be a backlash against Mouthy for that. Unless, of course, that would be considered unethical.
