Palin Helped “Abusive” Brother-In-Law Become a State Trooper

This blogger/journalist has obtained a pile of documents, probably from the State Police’s union, illuminating Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s long history with “villain” Mike Wooten. There are many highlights but here are just a few:

In a Jan. 1, 2000, letter of reference, Palin wrote that if “America had more people with the grace and sincerity that mirrors the character of Mike Wooten…we would have a much kinder, gentler, trustworthy nation as a result. …“I have witnessed Mike’s gift of calm and kindness toward many young kids here in Wasilla,” said Palin’s Jan. 1, 2000 letter written on City of Wasilla letterhead. “I have never seen him raise his voice, nor lose patience nor become aggitated [sic] in the presence of any child. Instead, Mike consistently remains a fine role model for my own children, and other young people in Wasilla.”

As has been reported, later he apparently tasered his own stepson. There’s also his terrible behavior that according to Palin, should get him fired:

Palin also alleged that Wooten illegally shot a cow moose, but added that her father butchered the carcass and that she and her family cooked and ate the meat.

She demanded he be fired for illegally killing an animal she then ate. What level does the bizarre behavior have to rise to before the media begins to report on the enormous level of baggage on this character Palin?
