"The Obama campaign is attacking Governor Sarah Palin and her family for their role in the firing of State Trooper Wooten. What they won't tell you is that Wooten is a child abuser who used a taser on his 10 year-old son. He also threatened to kill the Governor's father. He has been reprimanded multiple times and was suspended form the force for five days for gross misconduct. Why is Senator Obama trying to defend an abusive father and husband in order to attack the first woman governor of Alaska?"
And the ad ends right as Hendrix sings, "I'm going down to shoot my old lady..."
Wooten is going to end up being Obama's Willy Horton.
Spare me. Horton was pardoned by Dukakis and killed someone later. Wooton was a thug who Palin was trying to stop ... BEFORE she was governor. And there is documented evidence that Palin had no idea her aides had gotten involved. Given that Wooten threatened Palin's father and tazed a 10-year-old kid, I doubt anyone will care.
If she wasn't governor yet, then she couldn't have fired the guy.
The real story is that when she won the governorship a good while later, she rid state government of those she didn't want serving in her administration.
That is the right of every chief executive.
Along with lots of others, she let this one go.
Why not a hit piece about the tax bureau guy she let go, and she objected to tax increases prior to her governorship?
1. You do something I don't like.
2. I turn you in.
3. Later, I become your boss.
4. As the new boss, I fire you and some others.
While you might have created an impression that didn't help you when it came to setting up my shop with my people, there is no necessary connection. I probably would have fired you because you were a crappy worker.
That’s great.
Now how does this get to McCain’s people?
Any lurkers?
Obviously the guy is a Democrat.
