From Kyle Hopkins in Anchorage --

Sen. Hollis French just announced that there's now a tip line you can call to help with the Legislature's investigation into the firing of former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.

The number is 264-6617.

I called and hung up before the beep, hearing this short message from the investigator: "Hi this is Steve Branchflower, thank you for calling. Please leave your information ..."

Steve Branchflower, a retired prosecutor, was named Friday as special counsel to the Legislature to investigate Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.

"Alaskans are calling for a complete and fair investigation into why Walt Monegan was fired and if it had anything to do with trooper Mike Wooten," Sen. Kim Elton, D-Juneau, said in a press release.

"Steve Branchflower is a highly respected prosecutor and public servant," said Sen. Hollis French, D-Anchorage. "If there were wrongs committed, he will find them. If there were not, he has the professional experience and good judgment to say so."

Branchflower will begin work immediately. The investigation is expected to take several months

3. If you want to see the conservative spin on Troopergate

I'm sure there are other conservative blogs saying the same thing, that just happens to be the one I read. I don't like to delve too deeply into the conservative blogosphere, for the sake of my blood pressure, but I think it's a bad idea to only read sites I agree with, as it can lead to a sort of "liberal bubble" equivalent to the "conservative bubble" that people who only listen to Rush and Fox News live in.
