Sarah and Todd Palin worked relentlessly to get their ex-brother-in-law, Mark Wooten, fired from his job because of a personal dispute with him. That turns out to be a violation of Alaska ethics law. You don't get to use your position as governor to settle personal vendettas.
But some say, Mark Wooten is a bad person...why protect him?
Well, if you take a step back, you'll notice that Mark Wooten is not the primary victim here: He still has his job.
The victims in this mess are all the state government employees, including Walt Monegan, who were pressured and harassed by the governor and her husband over something they had no business meddling in. Those folks were repeatedly asked, by someone with power over them, to do illegal and unethical things. Or else.
That's the ethical violation, if only the Palins could see it.
