Anchorage Daily News - Palin's Response is "Orwellian"

When the Anchorage Daily News is calling Palin's response to her violation of state ethics laws "Orwellian" you know things are bad. Apparently Palin cannot read or she cannot face the reality of her own state's finding that she broke the law!

From The Anchorage Daily News:

Sarah Palin's reaction to the Legislature's Troopergate report is an embarrassment to Alaskans and the nation.

She claims the report "vindicates" her. She said that the investigation found "no unlawful or unethical activity on my part."

Her response is either astoundingly ignorant or downright Orwellian.

Page 8, Finding Number One of the report says: "I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act."

In plain English, she did something "unlawful." She broke the state ethics law.

Perhaps Gov. Palin has been too busy to actually read the Troopergate report. Perhaps she is relying on briefings from McCain campaign spinmeisters.

That's the charitable interpretation.
