Troopers eventually investigated 13 issues and found four in which Wooten violated policy or broke the law or both:
Wooten used a Taser on his stepson.
He illegally shot a moose.
He drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion.
He told others his father-in-law would eat a fing lead bullet if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.
Used a taser on his stepson? Drank beer in his patrol car? Threatened to kill the governor's father? And they want to investigate Palin?
Beautiful work!!!! Im not trying to figure out how to email it that way....hahaha!
In January, you’ll see the “Barracuda” sworn in as VP, while the Libs will only lament that “Barack coulda”...
Assuming you use IE or Firefox, you can save yourself a hassle of bringing up the source HTML script for that page and copying it into your email...
You can 1) save page (using File menu -> Save As...) and then attach it to your email; or 2) send page by email outright (File Menu -> Send -> page By Email...).
Yes, I just decided to save the whole shebang in Word and am now emailing as an attachment to friends and family....giving you credit, of course! ;)
Just copy and paste it to your email.
It worked for me great.
Pictures and all.
Not true.
You saw what 75,000 "screaming fans" looked like the other night.
Now tell me the crowd standing on three 120ft wide streets in Berlin was three times the size of that crowd..
It's utter rubbish!
The Berlin crowd was 50,000 or less.
When I attempted several times to copy and paste into email...the facts and pics ended up all over the place...jumbled......so just made a Doc and attached it. Thanks though! ;)
Great post. Palin, not Obama, is the change agent. Obama, although relatively new, is a part of the establishment. Indeed, he came out of nowhere and quickly became a tame pet of one of the most corrupt establishments in the country. He says the same platitudes that sounded old when Jimmy Carter said them 30 years ago. Palin is a true leader and not a lackey of special interests.
Just Ping me
