"Todd Palin talked with over a dozen state officials, many of them repeatedly, in his crusade to get a state trooper fired whom he considered to be a bad cop, a dishonest person and a threat to the Palin family, according to his sworn statement given Wednesday to a legislative investigator," per the Alaska Daily News, adding, "In his statement, Palin is unapologetic about his efforts to get Wooten fired, but he says he doesn't think those efforts had anything to do with Monegan's dismissal. He also suggested there was bad blood between the governor and Monegan over two other matters: (1) An inquiry from Monegan to the governor about whether she once failed to put her Trig, her infant, in a car seat while she was driving; (2) The unavailability of a state trooper airplane for the governor's use when traveling to the Bush.”

"On the car seat, Monegan sent an e-mail to the governor on June 30, 12 days before he lost his job, that said: 'Via a soon-to-be-retiring legislator, we received a complaint that had you driving with Trig not in an approved car seat; if this is so that would be awkward in many ways.' The governor fired back from her private e-mail account: 'I've never driven Trig anywhere without a new, approved car seat. I want to know who said otherwise -- pls provide me that info now.'"

1. she treats that baby as a prop

I'm sure she didn't spend time fastening him in a secure car seat.

2. She fired him because she didn't properly take care of her baby-prop, and someone

called her on it? He didn't have an airplane ready for her highness? Please.

3. This is surreal.

Did Todd really commit to paper that his wife, Gov. Sarah Palin, was accused driving their newborn around town without a car seat and THAT was a reason that Monegan was fired? Your wife is accused of abusing her office and THIS is what you say about her firing a Cabinet member? You cannot make this shit up.
