The LAST paragraph of this story:

Lawmakers indicated they planned to release the report even though there was disagreement about its findings.

“I think there are some problems in this report,” Republican state Sen. Gary Stevens. “I would encourage people to be very cautious, to look at this with a jaundiced eye.”

The headline of that story?

Legislative panel: Palin abused authority

Clearly, the AP doesn’t want to take Mr. Stevens’ advice.

As for the story itself? In a word … Whogivesashit. Guy was fired because he didn’t fire a state trooper that apparently tasered his pre-teen son or some such thing. Memo to Trooper - if *I* were in charge, firing your boss would come after a loooooooooong ass-beating session. You got off easy, pal.
