The Rat’s will be all over the molehill “Trooper gate” story but won’t touch Obama’s long, long history with terrorist Ayers or his mismanagement of $110 million in grant money for education. Seriously furious here...
Here is the real “story” about the incident with the trooper.
Please pass this to everyone you know to blunt the attempt to make this what it isn’t.
Here is the “scandal” they are referring to:
Claim: “Palin used her position as Governor to get back at the man whom her sister was divorcing, and fired the man who refused to fire her sister’s ex-husband”.
This is the slimiest attack that the Democrats and the media will launch. It concerns a current investigation into allegations that Governor Palin fired former Alaskan Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan because he would not bend to her will.
When Palin fired Monegan, her office gave no reason for her decision. As the Commissioner serves at the discretion of the Governor, no reason is needed. In an effort to save his job and get back at the person who fired him, Monegan claimed that he was fired because he would not fire an Alaskan State Trooper, Michael Wooten, who was going through a messy divorce with Palin’s sister. Recently, the Associated Press ran an article about some tapes that surfaced regarding phone calls made by some of Palin’s staff worried about Wooten - and worried about the safety of the Palin family:

Quote:
JUNEAU, Alaska - Gov. Sarah Palin on Wednesday said at least two dozens calls were made from her staff members to Department of Public Safety officials questioning the employment of a trooper who went through a messy divorce with Palin’s sister.
But Palin maintained none was done at her direction, a claim backed up by one administration member caught on tape.
...The Palins have accused Wooten of drunken driving, illegal hunting and firing a Taser at his 11-year-old stepson, Palin’s nephew. These allegations led to an internal investigation, which occurred before she ran for governor.
Todd Palin has said the family was concerned about the governor’s safety, claiming Wooten threatened to kill Sarah Palin’s father and made vague threats to her. Todd Palin has said he took concerns about Wooten directly to Monegan.

Rev. Wright story is still relevant. Obama has not used good judgement in picking his friends.
Cokie Roberts on This Weak; stuck up for Palin on this one. Trooper was a really bad guy.
It’s up to us Dave to do their job that they refuse to do.
