"Troopergate" on its last legs

Mike Gravel, former Democratic presidential candidate and senator from Alaska, on Troopergate:

"Troopergate" is going to come out in [Palin's] favor when they really get down for the details of it. This trooper should have been fired ... if the unions didn't want to step up to the plate. ...

This is a guy that shouldn't be wearing a badge, not when he threatens people's lives. ...

Did they have to wait 'til he killed somebody before they got rid of him?
