Progressive Blogger in AK: An Open Letter to Rachel Maddow--Let me help you update your Sarah Palin

An Open Letter to Rachel Maddow--Let me help you update your Sarah Palin "Trooper-gate" info
Dear Rachel,

Congratulations on your new MSNBC Show. I cannot wait to see it. Also, I regret so much not getting the chance to see you in Denver. At the time, we were trying to get more passes (we did) for my whole team to go to see Obama at Invesco Field so I had to miss your talk. I still hold out hope that someday I'll meet you in person.

But that's not the point of this letter.

I saw you on Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" and while your analysis of McCain's choice of Sarah Palin was spot-on, you obviously lacked some vital information regarding "Trooper-gate." I'd like to help you there.

I made THIS POST after attending the press conference where Mike Wooten asked the union TO RELEASE HIS RECORDS to the media. In spite of the fact this would reveal any flaws he may have in the matter, he wanted folks to know that their Governor, her family and her friends were spending a whole lot of time trying to get him fired. I also believe that (at the time) with Monegan gone and with the short-lived appointment of Chuck Kopp, he believed his job was not long for this world so what did he have to lose?

I recommend that you look at the documents closely...they are all linked in the post on the Public Safety Employees of Alaska that I linked above. You will read all of the allegations against him. I especially encourage you to read the "email" from Sarah Palin to retired Col Julia Grimes. Try to figure out which cereal box produced Sarah's Communication degree. Then read the interviews she does with the troopers, where they discover that her email was based entirely on the hearsay from her sister (the woman scorned) and Sarah knew NOTHING first-hand.

2. Yeah I posted the oasis links earlier as well, pretty interesting!

[book_worm]

3. exactly dems and reps are wanting her investigated, so this is not

some kind of partisan charade.

4. Wow. Wootengate does sound like a soap opera.

We get our own messy tabloid story before she even gets into office. Yikes.

5. Sara Palin = dirty politics

[Born_A_Truman]

6. Yeah, these bloggers are on it in Alaska.

S/he has a post up now that says:

A very reliable source overheard Republican spokesperson McHugh Pierre state TODAY that he had spoken to the McCain Campaign. They are coming to Alaska tomorrow to check out the "Troopergate" investigation.

In other words, THEY DID NOT DO SO PROPERLY AHEAD OF TIME.

Unreal!

7. Makes you wonder if they are going to deep six it.

McCain is an idiot. The man has no idea how to do due diligence. He is not fit to be President.

8. republicans are always above the law. I don't expect anything good to come of this.

9. two sayings that come to mind

1) fools rush in where angels fear to tread, and
2) there's no fool like an old fool

14. Thaks for pointing this out Born_A_Truman

I posted another thread just on this so it would get more exposure. It sure sounds like there could be more to the story of Sarah Palin.

[Janice325]

10. WOW!!

When I came here and started reading this there were no recs. Now I see there are eight.
k&r with number 9!
Thanks for the info.

[yourguide]

11. please keep this kicked!

[Hope And Change]

12. K & R!

13. I've been trying to find an email address to Rachel Maddow for weeks but can't

Does anyone know how I can get in contact with her?

Thanks! This was a great post...

[roguevalley]

15. send it to keith earmarked for rachel. kick this to the front page.

[bleever]

17. Try this:

"Ask Dr. Maddow:

If you have a question for Dr. Maddow call us at 212-871-8173"

:thumbsup:

16. If you read the Memorandum of Findings,

you'll find that the charges against Wooten that were sustained were Unbecoming Conduct and Personal Conduct violations relating to using a taser on his stepson (possibly because the stepson asked to see what it was like), getting angry at his father-in-law and telling him over the phone he'd kill him if he helped Wooten's wife get a divorce lawyer, and for shooting a moose for his wife, on his wife's permit, while hunting with his wife.

To me, it all looks like it comes down to a child custody battle, and Palin used her office to try to make sure her sister's ex-husband was unemployed when it was time for custody to be determined.

18. I knew Palin's allegations of domestic abuse were bullshit

Just too conveeeenient...

[rebel with a cause]

19. Perhaps someone should do something to create

copies of these websites, before the repugs have a chance to delete or destroy access to these records.

Of course, I am speaking as a dummy about web sites, but I know sometimes this sort of thing happens.
