ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The abuse of power investigation against Sarah Palin, Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate, took a potentially ominous turn for her party on Friday when state lawmakers voted to subpoena her husband.

Republican efforts to delay the probe until after the Nov. 4 election were thwarted when GOP State Sen. Charlie Huggins, who represents Palin's hometown of Wasilla, sided with Democrats. "Let's just get the facts on the table," said Huggins, who appeared in camouflage pants to vote during a break from moose hunting.

The Senate committee acted at the request of investigator Stephen Branchflower, who is gathering evidence on whether Gov. Palin abused her power by firing Walt Monegan, the state's director of public safety. Critics charge she fired Monegan after he refused to dismiss Mike Wooten, a state trooper who had a messy divorce from the governor's sister. Palin says Monegan was let go because of a budget dispute.

I lol'd at the bolded part though.

Have you got a sudden Moose problem in the states or something?

I don't know how the Repubs could delay an investigation like this, glad they failed anyway.

I doubt that her husband will give away too much incriminating evidence though. lol

Yes, obviously that's what I was laughing at.

I was referring to the fact that he went to vote while in full gear.

So someone is getting subpoenaed as part of an ongoing investigation? That almost never happens.

It doesn't matter. There's an investigation ongoing. People get subpoenaed.

It really is.

She's like Dan Qualye, but a woman.

Part of me wants her and ol' John to get elected as then it would make TV way funnier.
