Title: Alaska Ethics Investigation
Post by: Baruch Menachem on September 06, 2008, 12:25:58 PM
Alaska is going to investigate the firing of Sarah's ex brother in law.

The union is demanding this.  They say that the guy was already punished for his issues on the force, and Palin abused her authority by pushing for his firing.

My personal take on this is "Bully for her."  Tazering a 10 year old is abuse, and the guy should have seen the inside of a jail cell for that.   Do the folks after Palin really want to get on the wrong side of this that badly?

Wooten tells CNN he made mistakes
INTERVIEW: Trooper says he feels stressed from media spotlight.


Embattled state Trooper Mike Wooten, in an interview aired Friday on the CNN cable news network, admitted he'd made some mistakes and is feeling stress from having his troubles with the Palin family splashed across the national news media.



>>>snip (http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/517685.html)

Palin, her family members and at least one of her aides have harped about Wooten's alleged misdeeds -- that he demonstrated a Taser stun gun on his preteen stepson, shot a cow moose unlawfully, and operated his patrol car after drinking alcohol.


Isn't this the same media that were so excited over Todd Palin's 22 year old DUI?  This guy is a state trooper, driving a patrol car, and he's supposed to get a pass?   :thatsright: 

Well, at least I'm glad there is no media bias.   :mental:

He really badly didn't want this.  He tried to have the divorce records sealed last week.

I wonder who is feeling most mad at.  Probably the union right now, as no one wants to be used as a tool

Are you sure?  I thought that was the guy who was supposed to have had an affair with Sarah?  Or maybe both of them did.  But yeah, Wooten sounds pretty unhappy.
