The more people learn, the worse the truth of the situation sounds:

But fair-minded people who find out a little about Wooten are bound to conclude that the real scandal is why he wasn’t fired well before Palin became governor.

By the time Mrs. Palin was inaugurated in December 2006, an internal state trooper investigation had concluded he had used a Taser on his 10-year-old stepson, illegally shot a moose, drunk beer in a patrol car, and told others his father-in-law would “eat a f***ing lead bullet” if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.

Apparently because of intense public-safety union lobbying on Mr. Wooten’s behalf, instead of being fired for breaking the law and violating trooper policies, he was suspended for a grand total of 10 days in March 2006.
