McPalin Campaign on TrooperGate: Shut Up! Shut Up! Shut Up! Shut Up!

Walt Monegan, the guy Sara Palin inappropriately fired, just revealed he has emails proving the McPalin campaign’s latest lie–that Monegan was insubordinately seeking earmarks in DC–was a lie.

Former Public Safety commissioner Walt Monegan said he’s turned over e-mails not yet released that prove he was responsible with the budget and not insubordinate.

Monegan said his e-mails provide a bigger picture because they include messages between other people, including his legislative liaison.

Monegan said he often printed out e-mails to read them when he was in transit to Juneau and that’s why he still has them.

The McPalin campaign, realizing they’ve been caught (again) in a lie, responded in a manner worthy of Bill O’Reilly.

A spokesman for Gov. Sarah Palin said Sunday that Monegan is acting in an inappropriate manner.

"The deal is you serve at the pleasure of the governor, and when the governor is no longer pleased, you leave and you’re supposed to walk away quietly," Bill McAllister said in a phone interview. [my emphasis]

"Why didn’t you just let us fire you as part of a personal vendetta and move on?!?!?!? Why does it seem like we no longer have any power over you?!?!?!? Why oh why oh why oh just shut up!?!?!?!"

Nice to see the McPalin campaign is proceeding just as professionally in Alaska as it is in DC.
