Sounds like some reverse nepotism...

it should be looked into. and it is...

On April 11, 2005, before Palin became governor, her sister Molly McCann filed for divorce against her then-husband, Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten. The same day McCann phoned the police to complain that in February 2005 Wooten had threatened to shoot Chuck Heath (father of McCann and Sarah Palin) if he hired an attorney to help in her divorce, had threatened to "take down" Palin if she got involved, and had driven while intoxicated on several occasions.McCann, Palin and Heath subsequently made several further allegations against Wooten.

In May 2005, Palin told police investigators that she had witnessed a death threat against her father (Heath), but had not called the police immediately because she did not want to put Wooten's career in jeopardy and the situation had not yet progressed to physical violence. On August 10, 2005, Palin sent an email to Julia Grimes, chief of the Alaska state police, urging that Wooten be dismissed and giving more details about the alleged death threat. The email from Palin to Grimes said that in February 2005 Wooten had threatened to shoot Heath after McCann had accused Wooten of attending an event with another woman:

“ I heard this death threat, my 16-year-old son [Track Palin] heard it, Molly heard it, as did their small children. Wooten spoke with his Trooper gun on his hip in an extremely intimidating fashion, leaving no doubt he is serious about taking someone's life who disagrees with him....Wooten's words were, "I will kill him. He'll eat a [expletive] lead bullet, I'll shoot him," if our father got the attorney to help Molly.

In a police interview discussing this event, Palin explained that she and Track were not in the same location as Wooten and McCann, but were listening over the telephone. According to Track, they were listening in order to determine whether Wooten was having an extramarital affair. Sarah Palin went on to say that after hearing the threat

“ I jumped in my truck to drive over to M[olly]'s house because I was sure M[ike] was gonna he was, like a ticking time bomb and I thought he was gonna blow and physically harm M[olly] or the kids or my dad. ”

After making observations through a window, Palin asked a neighbor to monitor the situation on her behalf:

“ I had to head on into C[hugiak], I had ah a meeting that I couldn't miss. I told the neighbor … "could you stand by … cause it it's looking dangerous" … after standing there watching M[ike] freaking out for however long probably, 15 minutes umm, I had to leave. I took off. ”

In her email to Grimes, Palin described Wooten as "a loose cannon" and "a ticking timebomb," and said that failing to fire Wooten "would lead a rational person to believe there is a problem inside the organization.
As a result of the email, Palin was interviewed again by state troopers on August 18, 2005. During this interview, she stated that she did not warn her father Heath of the death threat until two weeks after it was made; she explained the delay by saying that Wooten had no reason to shoot Heath. According to Heath himself, the delay was a month: "Heath stated that his daughters didn't report the incident to him until a month later."
In addition to the alleged death threat against Heath, Palin has alleged that Wooten has made other threats against the family which were witnessed by Molly McCann alone. For example, in a legal filing on September 1, 2008, Palin accused Wooten of making a threat to "bring Sarah Palin down." When Palin was asked about this threat in 2005, by Sgt. Ron Wall, a police investigator, Palin explained this threat as follows:

“ … as [Molly] had explained. "I'm gonna take your sister down … I'm gonna ruin your family … I know people in all the right places, in high places. I know judges. I know attorney's. I have relationships with these guys. You guys are all going down.

The trooper internal inveatigation reported that

“ Sarah Palin and Molly McCann both stated that Investigator Wooten made threats that he would "bring down" Sarah and her family. Sarah Palin had no first hand knowledge of the threats. Molly McCann stated that Investigator Wooten made this threat to her several times and that she understood him to mean that he could use his position as a trooper to make life difficult for Sarah.

I've got no issue with the investigation, it's as it should be. What I have issue with is: What kind of judgement does it show McCain to have, when he selects someone with a court date coming before the election date?

She is a politician...

don't they all have a court date comming most of the time.

When I was young Congressmen and Senators were called "Esteemed Gentleman from..." Now they are most commonly refered to as "That crook from Washington".
"Jerks in Washington..."

And worse...

Every one knows that a woman can't do two things at once. There is no way any woman can raise a family and be Vice President

Women can't work in an office and raise a family

Women can't be professional atheletes and raise a family

they should be kept barefoot and in the kitchen making sup

that's just nuts

You do not vote because you do not have the right to vote, Maybe you should fight for that right. In case you haven't notice Alaska also borders Canada is that way you want her there. To protect your country?


she cannot manage her own house, let alone the whitehouse or canada.

she cannot manage her own house, let alone the whitehouse or canada.


this is a very judgmental statement.
why cant she??
because her daughter is 17 and pregnant??



please clarify.

she cannot manage her own house, let alone the whitehouse or canada.


Well good thing her job wouldn't be to manage Canada then.... She only has the US to put back together after the natural disaster named George Bush Jr.

Listen chicy parents can't help what their kids do, you can raise them right, and they still do what they do especially a 17 year old, now if the daughter was 13 I'd be singing a different toon.

oops never mind

I forgot to hit refresh when i returned.

why do you speak in haiku?

Maybe you ought to worry about your own country. When the fair trade act stops, what will you have to say then. OOPS? You talk bad about this country all the time when it doesn't concern you! Try something different sometime hey?

my post would have been way out of context and it was mirrored by another.

I deleted it.

this little oops means I backed it out.

no one will ever know that didn't cvatch it quickly.

it was juicy though, and highly inflamatory and a personal attack of astounding proportions and ....

oops, now i sound like a liberal...LOL

I heard she eats wild books... raw!
