they may not be erroneous, and no one is denying that. but those are personal family problems; she should deal with him personally (call the police or whatever). the fact of the matter is she "may" have pressured the commissioner to fire the brother-in-law is ethically wrong.

it's like you're dating a girl in the workplace and you're the manager. she dumped you for another guy. that's a "personal" problem and you shouldn't let it affect the workplace. instead, you use your power to fire that person.

You're kidding, right?

All four have to do with the reliability of his judgment and his competence to be an agent of the law. These are not spread out over a 20 year career; he's only been a trooper for a few years.

I didn't even include it but I heard somewhere that he's burned through four marriages-- haven't verified that yet. That seems like a lot-- again for a relatively young man.

I saw a news story posted just a few hours ago where he regrets all of this becoming a national story.

This is not going away. from josh --

Now it comes out that before she even became governor -- and was in a position to abuse her power of office -- Palin had to be warned by the judge in the divorce case that her harassment of Wooten amounted to "a form of child abuse."

If her behavior was so abusive and over-the-line before she became governor (this was in 2005), can there really be much doubt she would have used all her power of office to get him fired?

Just what we need another person who abuses their elected power and tramples on the constitution.

This election is too important for us to put McSame in the Whitehouse.

Didn't the commissioner serve "at the pleasure of" the governor?

Which of these "facts" about her former brother-in-law are erroneous?

1. Under close supervision, he allowed his step-son to experience being tasered (violation of departmental policy if not law)

2. Killed a moose without his own license (Sarah had to "dress it" for him )

3. Threatened to kill his ex-wife's and Palin's father (trooper denies it)

4. Nabbed driving with open beer in the car on "up-to" four occasions I hear (he denies)

Though it is a common ploy to use misdirection, and I understand the need for it in this scandal, but you're obfuscating the issues.

There is no doubt that the ex is a douchebag and deserves whatever hell has in store for him.

The issue is whether she abused her power to go after him.
