You pretty much captured the essence of the incident!
I would only add that the brother in law tased his own kid, threatened to kill family members, and was/is a total a@@hat...
I have little doubt that by this time next week, we'll all know his name. This investigation just went into high gear.
And not a moment too soon, my lady was just on the phone this morning with one of her gay friends from Florida who could do nothing besides talk about this 'scandal'. Fortunately, I have enough facts already from FR to reassure her that the guy is a scumbag, and this is just petty political payback for the corruption that Gov. Palin has had to root out of Alaska.
