If the Rats are going to hang their hat on this story, then they will be in for a rude awakening after they see how the general public reacts to their implicit support of a wife-beater, child abuser, and corrupt cop, which Palin acted (rightfully) against.
Depends on whether the MSM covers the story or plays it only as an abuse of power (firing someone who wouldn’t do what she wanted). You know which way they are going to try to go.
Amen and spot on.
This “scandal” stems from an abusive state trooper going through a divorce and threatening his now ex-wife’s family. Lots of nasty things happen in a divorce. How ironic that if it hadn’t been for nasty things in a divorce, Obama would still be a state senator in Springfield.
Sarah, her husband, and her administration are accused of putting pressure on Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan to fire Wooten, the former brother-in-law. Monegan was appointed by Sarah. When he got fired, he claimed that it was because he didn’t fire Wooten.
But unlike Monegan, who had an at will position, Wooten was protected by his union. How could Monegan fire him? The union had already protected his outrageous behavior and had reduced his suspension from 10 to 5 days.
This saga began three years ago — way before Sarah was elected governor. Wooten did pose a threat to the governor and her family, and she and her husband had every right to inform Monegan of his alarming behavior. And that was the so-called pressure.
This investigation isn’t going to amount to a hill of beans.
