In 2005, before Palin ran for office, the Palin family accused trooper Mike Wooten of drinking beer in his patrol car, illegally shooting a moose and firing a Taser at his 11-year-old stepson. Palin and her husband, Todd, also claimed Wooten threatened to kill Sarah Palin's father. Wooten, who hasn't returned numerous phone calls left by The Associated Press this week, was suspended over the allegations for five days in 2006 but still has his job.

To me- an understandable abuse of power on Palin's part, and as such, a non-issue for me (not meaning to sound all NeoCon here, just seems like personal business is all, Cops shooting mooses (meese?) irks me some).

How is it an "understandable" abuse of power? Abuse of power is abuse of power.

The report says that he was suspended because of the allegations. Doesn't say they were true. Just coming through a nasty divorce, I don't believe any of it without unbiased proof.

Oh you KNOW that trooper's trash, c'mon. They suspend you if guilty up there, not for doing nothing.

the innocent and decent Police Commissioner she DID fire because he couldn't legally reopen the 2 year old closed case against her dirt bag brother in law is the one who was abused,
and didn't deserve it.

We've had 8 long years of an Administration who has used their office to benefit themselves, their friends, Haliburton, oil companies....
and we don't need 4 years of the same!

It is time to put the government to work for the people,
not for the privileged few
