McCain/Palin campaign releases pre-emptive report clearing the Governor, the day before the Branchflower report is due to be realeased.

On the eve of a report on a legislative panel's abuse-of-power investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, campaign officials released their own report clearing her of any wrongdoing.

Palin, running mate to Republican presidential nominee John McCain, is the subject of two inquiries into whether she abused her power by firing her public safety commissioner. The commissioner says he was dismissed for resisting pressure to fire Palin's former brother-in-law, a state trooper.

Lawmakers are expected to release their findings Friday.

The report the McCain-Palin campaign released Thursday night says the firing was based on a budget dispute. Since then, the report says, the matter has been muddled with innuendo, rumor and politics.

Do you smell that ?

That my friends is the smell of desperation!

There is no freaking way that this transparent attempt to diminish the impact of the Branchflower report is going to work. And I mean no way!

But hey if it does work on you, let me know. I think I might just have a "road to nowhere" to sell you.

And if anybody gets their hands on the actual report send it to me. Because this I have to see.
