Fired official asked Palin about her car seat use with son Trig

Source: Boston Herald

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Todd Palin talked with more than a dozen state officials, many of them repeatedly, in his crusade to get a state trooper fired who 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.

The 25-page statement from Gov. Sarah Palin’s husband, in response to questions submitted by the investigator, shows that Todd Palin’s efforts started before his wife became governor and accelerated during the first 19 months of her administration.

He also suggested there was bad blood between the governor and former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan over two other matters:

• An inquiry from Monegan to the governor about whether she once failed to put her infant son Trig in a car seat while she was driving.

• The unavailability of a state trooper airplane for the governor’s use when traveling to the Alaska’s rural areas.

Is she just seriously trying ot get that kid killed?

:shrug:

When her water broke, and she spent hours giving a speech, taking 2 plane flights, and driving 45 minutes to a country hospital (having been in 3 big cities that day that certainly could have offered her quality care). And she doesn't put him in a car seat either?

Why would a child of privilege go into the Army as an enlisted man anyway? Ask a recruiter. If they are honest with you many times it's the army or prison.

Ya can't have it boooooth ways, y'know ...

Just a joke ...

It's official now; this woman really IS in Britney Spears' league.

Next she'll be flashing the Rich-Lowry types at her rallies . . .

remember how jamie lynn sent a baby present to bristol?

Gee golly, I think a documentary should be made, tying these two families together. Family values and all of that also and again.

very touching. Hockey moms without car seats or birth control for your teenagers, UNITE!

Edited to add:

On the other hand, given how desperate they have become this is a distinct possibility - Joe Six-pack would love it, ya betcha!

:yoiks:

Could be McCain.

In his sworn answers he very carefully says "he" did things. Like compile a dossier on on Wooten and present it to Monegan. In the transcripts of the taped interviews of 2005, Todd states that "we" (being Todd and Sarah) hired the investigator, paid for the report, etc.

Todd did his best in his answers yesterday to imply that he worked alone and his wife was "tired of" his rants and didn't want to hear.

Those answers are in direct contrast to both his and Sarah's recorded answers back when things happened.

because she was sick of hearing it.

So the campaign could dream up something like: Todd could get a story together where he takes the fall, and it is out of love for his family that he proceeded--on his own, mind you--to pursue this vendetta with the brother-in-law. But it was all his fault, his alone, just Todd.
