    What was Palin questioned about?

    What was she questioned about when she denied the abuse of power?

    The story I read said that the reporter asked about Monegan. She claimed that there was no violation of ethics with regard to Monegan. The excerpt that Greenwald highlighted was referencing Wooten. She answered the question about Monegan correctly.

    If we are going to chastise someone for misrepresenting the facts, we need to be certain of our own facts.

    I am as anti-Palin as anyone. But we weaken our arguments if we accuse her of something she didn't do.
