State Legislature Rejects AG Candidate

Wayne Anthony Ross, Governor Palin's nominee for Attorney General and a director of the NRA, was rejected by the Alaska Legislature today.

He has spoken his mind on certain issues over the years, and in this squeaky-clean, politically-correct era, honesty just won't fly.

Governor Palin released this statement after the vote: “I believed I knew what Alaskans wanted when I selected an individual who is a strong backer of 2nd Amendment rights, a staunch supporter of the state Constitution and a defender of life,” Governor Palin said. “Wayne Anthony Ross supports responsible, ethical development of Alaska’s rich resources. I’m surprised that legislators in this case really did not seem to represent their constituents and allowed themselves to be swayed by side issues. Mr. Ross is a fine Alaskan. He is held in high esteem by many Alaskans. I appreciate his willingness to serve the public.”

Read the rest here.

Note: this is the same legislature that made sure to confirm the marmot as the State animal, this session. Lovely. Just lovely.
