Hey watch dat chit over dar buddy

[perfect_rovian_storm]

This SOB better hide.

Read this document, specifically the part about the tasering incident, and tell me how you would react if you ever met this guy. Then multiply that times about 50 million people.

[JoeDetweiler]

Reading your link it looks like this whole matter needs to be buried (assuming that Wooten really has straightened up, of course.) Any attempt to drag this out is just going to victimize everyone involved; Palin, Wooten and let’s not forget Wooten’s kids, this can’t be easy on them.

That’s why I’m asking my question. This matter is already being investigated. What business does the Obama campaign have involving itself?

THIS STORY HAS NOOOOO LEGS!!!

How about some random drug testing on these state troopers???

[Arkinsaw]

The guy came out and admitted mistakes and didn’t bring his former feud into the national arena. I give him credit for some level of maturity there.

[MSRiverdog]

This guy want’s it all to go away for what ever reason’s, if not it all would have been out there day’s ago.

I can imagine said Trooper is thinking of the future, with his Ex-sister-in-law as VPOTUS, I imagine the Secret Service would keep close tabs on him if he was considered a danger to the 2nd Families safety. In his best interest to cool the jets.
He probably can sense what we sense, A win in Nov!

It means they are going to put the screws on the guy to talk...in other words, blackmail, extortion, loss of protection, etc.

In other words, they are siccing a "community organizer" on him.

SHE is taking it right to them.

She’s filed her own ethics complaint and demanding the issue be investigated:

What do you make of Palin’s father being the one to butcher the moose and the moose meat being shared with the Palin family? Then, two years later, when the Whooten’s marriage falls apart, Sarah Palin files the complaint about the moose kill?

This lady doesn’t mess around. She’s filed her own ethics complaint and demanding the issue be investigated:

Those were happier times I guess, but I'm sure Sarah didn't like it and at the time probably didn't want to cause a scene and knew there was some fragility in the marriage.

Then, later Wooten threatens to Palin's dad to "eat a f****** lead bullet" - Hey I would grasp for every trespass to get this guy's true colors out!

[JoeDetweiler]

I don’t have a problem with it because it’s 90% in line with Palin’s own testimony. They only really disagree about whether or not he gave his wife the opportunity to shoot and whether or not he abandoned the meat.

My point is that this moose business has always been small potatoes compared to the other charges, tasering, threatening, drinking, etc.......

[Netizen]

She might as well, the state was already investigating.

In July, the state legislature appropriated $100,000 towards an independent inquiry, and hired former prosecutor Steve Branchflower to investigate.

[GLDNGUN]

It means they are digging for dirt. And I hope it means that the American public will hear about that and understand that this is how Obama wins elections.

What are you saying? That Obama tries to win by disqualifying him, rather than actually win an election? Naaaaah. That would never happen! (/sarcasm)

[Netizen]

My question is why wait two years? Had her sister’s marriage not fallen apart, would she have not filed the complaint?

[brytlea]

LOL right...what was I thinking??

The story is how he married into, then divorced out of, Alaska’s first family.

There's a lie, right there. When he married Sarah Palin's sister, Palin was NOT the Gov. and when he divorced her sister, Sarah Palin STILL wasn't the Gov.

Even after she became Gov., Wooten still had his trooper job, so how did Sarah Palin's being Gov. affect him in any way?
