Lawyer: 'Serious Damage' to McCain if Palin Probe Report Out Before Election

[tannybogus]

An attorney representing Alaska’s Legislative Council said John McCain’s presidential campaign fears a statewide ethics investigation into Gov.

Anchorage attorney Peter Maassen made those comments in a 17-page court filing Wednesday where he asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed last week by five Republican lawmakers who are trying to stop the Palin investigation. Maassen accused the McCain campaign of trying to derail a two-month old investigation to determine whether Gov. Sarah Palin improperly fired Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan

Did the First Dude point a gun to your head and demand that you put Mrs. Mooseburger on the ticket?

If so, I'll think about feeling sorry for you. Otherwise, you're on your own.
