This is good stuff, well-researched.

N.B. for future reference, as this is what the Obama campaign is going to hit her with.

If someone tasered my nephew, drank on the job, and threatened to fill my father full of lead, I would demand he be fired.

Great Resource! Can’t wait to see the next CBS memo documenting Palin’s guilt.

I have no doubt you will hear lies, lies and stupidity about this from the Dems now until the election.

While there’s nothing to “Troopergate”, even if every single bit of it was true, it would pale in comparison to what happened to Larry Sinclair in Delaware.

Thanks.

Found it through technorati.com.

If Palin ever really gets in hot water over the troopergate thing, all she has to say is that those aren't the troopers she thought she knew and throw them under the bus. After that, simply declare the subject of troopergate off limits to all discussion and criticism.

The media has already proven that they'll accept this explanation and technique as perfectly valid, so she really doesn't have anything to worry about.

Just to be on the safe side, she might want to ban all Kinko's fax machines in Alaska so that no fake but accurate documents leak out of the state.

Wouldn't these actions at least qualify this person for a cabinet position in a Democratic administration?

I heard about this on the radio in an exchange between a local Conservative Talk Show host and an Obama Fire Breather...this is the indication of desperation from the Obama camp; as the host told the Obamabot, the ‘Trooper Gate’ issue is a personal issue which has not affected Palin’s ability to govern Alaska. And besides, the woman has an approval rating of 80%.

The guy Governor Palin wanted fired tased a 10 year old. I don’t care, if the 10 year old wanted to try it, I don’t care if the kid’s mom knew and was ok with it.

A guy with that kind of judgement ia law suit waiting to happen and a fiscally conservative governor naturally want to avoid that cost. And it is just impossible to beat up someone politically for wanting to fire someone who tased a 10 year old.

If he did these things to his family, I wonder what he did on the job to Alaskans that he considered real “perps”.

Would be interesting to know what the investigation found out about Wooten's on the job performance. I suspect he was a control, egomaniac power freak....and probably a Democrat.

[JLS]

Well the tasing incident is not a huge thing to me, but it shows bad judgement. I have a now adult step-child. Even when you adopt someone else child through marriage you are a fool if don’t understand that child is still more its natural parents child.

And if you are going to tase your child even with permission, you better be planning NEVER to be divorced. Things like that a just bound to come back to haunt you.

The other things that are someone else said, he denied are certainly even more worrisome and makes you wonder how poorly he treats people on the job he considers perps.

[TBP]

Hey, the mainstream media lies.

What else is new?

[Wiseghy]

I fully expect the MSM to flip soon, and accuse her of not taking enough action to protect her family.

Bump for later Sunday reading.

One of the best comments on the Flopping Aces blog Troopergate deep dive posting section was made here where someone who calls himself "Herr Morgenholz" said, and this is only part of the comment (with additional spacing added to make each point he made stand out a little better:) As for this “scandal”, know something about the vetting process. Republicans are far better at it.

In McCain’s team, somewhere in the background, is a crusty old fart. He’s an old line high dollar lawyer, former FBI or US Attorney’s Office, who went through this thing with a lice comb.

There’s nothing here, not because of what anybody else says, but because of what crusty old fart said. Believe it.

[JLS]

Yep, I just read an article about the vetting process McCain used and she was being looked at from the beginning. This is well vetted.

Remember this is a legislative inquiry so “the good ole boys” of Alaska may give her a clean bill of health next week, if it helps get her out of the state to DC. Then they can go back to their old ways perhaps?

[SuziQ]

Since the investigation began before Palin became Governor, and it wasn’t she who demanded the suspension, it was Wooten’s own boss, I don’t see how it’s relevant to Palin’s ‘governance’.

*snort* Crusty old fart; loved it.

I’m a crusty old fart *in training*.
