Come Clean, Sarah Palin

It's time for Sarah Palin to come clean about her involvement, if any, in the so-called Troopergate scandal involving her ex-brother-in-law and allegations of her misuse of her office as governor to have him fired.

Even the Anchorage Daily News is saying she is stonewalling the investigation.

Gov. Sarah Palin is taking the wrong approach to Troopergate. She should be practicing the open and transparent, ethical and accountable government she promised when running for governor and boasts about now that she's on the national stage.

Instead, Gov. Palin has begun stonewalling the Legislature's attempt to get the bottom of allegations that she, her family or staff violated ethical or state personnel rules.

As a result, the Troopergate allegations hang over Palin's future and cloud her candidacy for vice president.

The allegations are that she, her family or administration improperly pressured then-Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan to fire Gov. Palin's ex-brother-in-law, state trooper Mike Wooten, who had been in the middle of a custody dispute with Palin's sister.

It's simple to clear the air. Just let everyone tell the truth and we can all move on.

If nothing else, the stall tactics sure make her look guilty.
