Subpoenaed!
The AP is reporting that Todd Palin, husband of the GOP's vice presidential nominee, has been subpoenaed in a state abuse of power investigation involving AK Gov. Sarah Palin.
AP: Republican efforts to delay the probe until after the Nov. 4 election were thwarted when GOP State Sen. Charlie Huggins, who represents Palin's hometown of Wasilla, sided with Democrats. "Let's just get the facts on the table," said Huggins, who appeared in camouflage pants to vote during a break from moose hunting.
Thomas Van Flein, the Palins' private attorney now representing her as governor, did not immediately return calls for comment.
In response, John McCain's campaign released a statement from AK Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, a Republican, who called the investigation -- dubbed Troopergate -- a "smear."
"I'm disappointed by the complete hijacking of what should be a fair and objective process," Parnell said.
