Palin E-Mails Show Intense Interest in Trooper's Penalty
Source: Washington Post

EAGLE RIVER, Alaska, Sept. 3 -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the running mate for GOP presidential candidate John McCain, wrote e-mails that harshly criticized Alaska state troopers for failing to fire her former brother-in-law and ridiculed an internal affairs investigation into his conduct.

The e-mails were shown to The Washington Post by a former public safety commissioner, Walter Monegan, who was fired by Palin in July. Monegan has given copies of the e-mails to state ethics investigators to support his contention that he was dismissed for failing to fire Trooper Mike Wooten, who at the time was feuding with Palin's family.

"This trooper is still out on the street, in fact he's been promoted," said a Feb. 7, 2007, e-mail sent from Palin's personal Yahoo account and written to give Monegan permission to speak on a violent-crime bill before the state legislature.

"It was a joke, the whole year long 'investigation' of him," the e-mail said. "This is the same trooper who's out there today telling people the new administration is going to destroy the trooper organization, and that he'd 'never work for that b****', Palin'.)"

2. This was 7 months ago. She has no idea how to use her office properly
How did Bush overlook her for AG?

Ready on day one? Worst VP pick ever.

She makes Dan Quayle look like Socrates.

Keep digging. She's a carwreck from which you can't turn away.

BTW, Rudi is talking in the background. I'm still tasting the puke jr.

6. Wow
Those emails are pretty damning. I wonder will this be reported on any of the cable news channels.
