This is something that bothers me.. and honestly as soon as I heard the circumstances surrounding this situation I had a strong feeling she was guilty.

She claims it was for budgetary reasons? You would think that for her own political safety alone she would've avoided this guy as much as possible and fired someone else if it was truly a budget issue.

Palin is definitely guilty of this. Makes you wonder how often this happens in the general populations workplace. Probably more often than we'd like to think.

There's a saying.. "it's who you know" I guess the same is true when getting fired. Poor guy (brother inlaw).. family matters should stay family matters and out of the workplace.
