Palin aide's phone call pushing for Wooten firing

[funandeducation]

I'm so happy to see that Frank Bailey has written a tell-all book about Sarah Palin and his time with her... he exposes the truth and takes blame for his part. One Palin book I will actually read... because I know this one is honest.

[enigma1990]

I wanna who was the 'genius' who decided to pick no-name dumbass Sarah Palin to run for Vice president? Maybe we wouldn't all be sitting here typing away about how she could very well be the next president of the USA - I dont know about you but I am very scared about 2012....Perhaps the Mayans are right...If Troopergate has taught us anything is that Palin may be dumb but she is a cunning political adversary that will do everything she can to "get you". DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HER!

[FIGHT1FOR2CHANGE3]

This little snitchy twirp is funny.

[zubernick]

Anything that shows Palin's true colors is good but I bet she ducks any flack for Wooten until post-election. I hoped her email hacker would find the smoking guns she used on her enemies. Maybe she's just vapid enough to fizz on her own - voters will focus on McCain's crumbling faculties instead of her brand of eyeglasses - nuts. I still think Obama's only marginally the better candidate and has his own skeletons. It's as though the people who want to run the country shouldn't be allowed to.

[1jazzsinga]

If people want a change from the way Bush and Cheny have run this country into the ground.... they should not vote for these lying hypocritical politicians we are seeing in both McCain and his pick Palin. Imagine if McCain has a heart attack... and we are left with Palin to lead the US. She knows nothing about the economy, or foreign affairs. She knows the party line and thats about it.

[Snowhitevil]

I suppose that it is patently obvious to everybody that the reason Wooten is making these ludicrous claims against Sarah Palin is to strike back at his ex wife by ruining her chance for success-by-proxy through her sister.

He is a scorned man making a feeble attempt at 'evening the score' of having been left by his wife (Sarah's sister) because of his cruel and abusive behavior.

This man is an asshole, but EVERY family has one or two of him, don't they?

[FrankThoughts]

Hmmmmmmm. Whether anything about Trooper Wooten had anything to do with Walt Monegan, Alaska Public Safety Commissioner, being fired. Hey, hear no evil and see no evil - - just do evil - - that's our request of people in appropriate positions of authority.

[dogorman3]

Zubernick, I might have felt that both candidates were poopie-heads in 2000 -- I might even have thought they were both poopie-heads in 2004 (one who already had the job was certainly the bigger poopie-head). But I must respectfully take exception to your descriptions of Obama and what will happen if he becomes President. This ain't another one of those "they're both poopie-heads" elections. He's not going to bankrupt the country and his personal resume is anything but short on accomplishments.

[honnenut]

I wouldn't do any stand-up dude.

[richardruhe]

sounds like clinton; trooper-gate...eh, more like travel-gate all over again. Let's see we had the liar/lacking in familiy values Clinton, then we had the vindictive stonewalls bush/chenney...now...?????

[honnenut]

"So Sambo beat the bitch!"

This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama's win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

[zubernick]

Prove that.

[WickedMofo]

Thats what your mom told me last night in bed.

[WickedMofo]

Palin had been complaining to state police officials about Wooten since before she became governor. In March 2006, he received a five-day suspension for drinking beer in his patrol car, illegally shooting a moose under his wife's hunting permit and using a Taser on his 10-year-old stepson "in a training capacity."

[ironwork92000]

and he biggest and most convinient of the complaints was that he left her sister. she needs to go on trial for abuse of her authority!

[WickedMofo]

Can you not read? He tasered his 10 year old step son...He should have been fired.

[applepie1e]

can you not read? Look again, the son was 11.

If you are going to be a jerk at least get your facts straight.

[WickedMofo]

Cnn had his age at 10.

[biochemiststudent]

Yeah- PALIN is a scam-- liar-- sneak!! Nobody is going to let her be VP

[OmniNorth]

In other news, Barack Obama would still make a horrible President.

[biochemiststudent]

whatever omniNorth loser-- Barack rocks and Palin is a tard

[OmniNorth]

B.O. will lose.

And you will be crying over it as I toast the magnificent landslide victory of The Great Sarah Palin.

[biochemiststudent]

I feel sorry for your world if you think that Sarah Palin is "great"-- you should have higher role models-- her own family doesn't even listen to her-- her daughter is pregnant- she's 17!! Palin's stance on sex-ed is to teach ABSTINANCE-- the hilarity!!!

[MasterDulak]

the great Sarah "the bridge to nowhere" Palin

[zubernick]

Yeah, but it comes down to whether you want a soaring orator who is long on promises, short on accomplishments, and, if he tries to do everything he promises, would bankrupt our country; or, do you want someone who has served his country with honor, conviction, and personal sacrifice, but whose faculties are failing and who made an abysmal choice for his VP - nothing against Palin, but she's unfit for VP and much less so for President. Either way it goes now we're screwed. Politics as usual.

[firstvoiceofreason]

Actually, it doesn't... This tape is about a government official performing an ILLEGAL act. We all know the coverup is what gets people busted. Palin is toast, and McCain is too.

WHAT WAS HE THINKING PICKING HER IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS INVESTIGATION, WHEN EVEN PALIN KNEW THAT THE SUBPOENAS WERE COMING?

Either McCain didn't fully vet her (he's an idiot), or he took a pretty big risk (he's a gambler). Neither of which are good Presidential qualities.

[firstvoiceofreason]

What does Barack Obama have to do with this tape? Sarah Palin ILLEGALLY acted outside her authority, I'm sorry, there's nothing you can say or do to spin this one!!! I smell blood.

[Cozz4ever]

Why wasn't Mike Wooten fired?

He admitted he drove drunk while on the job and used his gun to shoot moose and used a taser on a 11 year old son? And still keeps his job?????????????

Yup, Walt Monegan is the victim all right for hiding Mike.

Walt deserves to get fired.

[firstvoiceofreason]

Beside the point here. It was Walt Monegan's decisions, not Gov Palin's!!!

What we're all really wondering here is just HOW MUCH IS GOV PALIN a tyrant power hungry leech? She spend $50,000+ of the roads funds to renovate her office while Mayor of Wasilla. THINKS SHE's ABOVE THE LAW, does what she wants and thats the final word!!!

Do we really want another "I'm the decider" in charge?

[firstvoiceofreason]

BTW, You remind me of the argument "I don't care if there were no WMD's, IRAQ was still a good idea because Saddam was a bad guy"

[johnnyjavelina]

The part left out was equally important, as the caller asks that the lieutenant become a mole in the union negotiations, and provide info to the Governor's Office.

Anyone who has been in government before understands how this gets done - send your aide out, make it sound important that something get done, and try to make a deal the other can't refuse. Deniability.

[palanquitas2]

Scary that this shady individual could one day be the president of the USA.
