The degenerate Democrats (but I repeat myself) and their Propaganda Machine are going to have a tough time digging up dirt on the Palins. They’ll be driven to making it up—something certainly not beneath them (nothing is), but it’ll be a tough job, and they have little more than two months. I’m sure their nasty little minds are in overdrive right now.
Wooten tasered an 11 year old family member, his step-son. He should be arrested for assault. He should be charged with child abuse. He should be fired and not provided with government weapons by law enforcement agencies to use against family members.
If I were a governor and knew personally of such things...I would fire the individual myself and slap a restraining order on him and make sure my own were safe from him...being apart from him and well armed should he come around...and never take a second thought for it, knowing that I had served the public good, and hopefully protected the innocent.
bttt
This says Todd Palin is a native Alaskan. To clarify.... his mother is a quarter Yu’pik Eskimo.
So a bad trooper got fired. And it sounds like he may have been rough with his wife. The Dems are going to run with this? This should actually get Palin a few more votes.
Plus it’s nothing compared to Obama having a buddy in domestic terrorist Ayers. Or Obama’s Annenberg cover up. Or his Rezko ties. Or his 20 years with Rev Wright. Etc.
Bring it on!
Troopers are civil service.
This sounds more like Arkansas than Alaska.. ;)
During my career as a Police officer and Police Administrator in Maine, I had several cases where I had to terminate the employment of officers. In every case the fired officer and his loyal associates claimed it was “Personal” and an “abuse of authority”. This is the norm for these cases, which is why the administrator is routinely meticulous about fairness and documentation of the investigation. Union challenges and lawsuits are anticipated. The fact that the union could only get a token reduction in the suspension time means that the AST investigators dotted the “I’s and crossed the T’s”. The Dems and the MSM had better think twice before going too far down this road, because they will very likely highlight the picture of a sister, not a governor, blowing the whistle on an abusive cop who was abusing HIS power.
I heard two pundits this morning saying they couldn’t be happier with mac’s choice, liberal women but their faces didn’t show that emotion.
Such a predictable situation.
I am sending this link to Bill O’Reilly, who should have at least investigated the whole story before blurting out that Sarah Palin had a “dust up” going on in Alaska and not yet a full “scandal”. O’Reilly is a mouthy moron and a bloviating buffoon.
I had already wondered what type of abusive/criminal behavior this idiot had participated in.
Thanks for posting this.
O’Reilly can sometimes be amusing, but in many cases, such as this one, he shoots from the lip.
The “scandal” involves firing Monegan who had been appointed Palin for supposedly not firing Whooten who was the trooper married to her sister. She didn’t have the authority to directly fire Wooten. The really important part of the piece at Flooping Aces is the source of much of the story and the heat it’s gotten: the guy Sarah Palin beat in the last election. Also she’s been shaking up the power structure in Alaska and I’d guess they don’t like that. Liberals would really hate her because of her positions on abortion, guns, etc. and since they dominate the media in Alaska like they do most places you can see the advantage of going along to get her.
O’Bloviator is still working on his investigation of the Swift Boaters so it’s unclear when he’ll get to what you sent. You’ll recall how he disparaged them first and said he’d say no more till he investigated the matter.
The Taser incident is well documented.
I could imagine some eager 10 year olds asking to get tasered. Having an adult actually do such a thing is really just beyond the pall of reason.
O’Reilly is a total hypocrite for accusing MSNBC of bias, while he committed his own character assault on Sarah Palin. He is no better than the moonbats at NBC News that he constantly complains about.
