The Plot Thickens

Kagro X over at Kos has this revealing piece that shows just how deep the Troopergate story continues to go. Turns out that not only did Palin try to get her estranged brother-in-law fired, she also tried to manipulate the guy's worker's comp claim. AND, she got her husband involved in the investigating!

According to a column by The Achorage Daily News' Dan Fagan, a very conservative Republican:

We know the governor's office was very interested in Wooten. Dianne Kiesel, a state employee with the Department of Administration, tells me former Palin chief of staff Mike Tibbles instructed her to walk Wooten's personnel file over to the governor's office. And there is the governor's aide, Frank Bailey, caught on tape admitting he has information that came from Wooten's workers' comp file. The very file that includes pictures, taken by none other than Todd Palin, of Wooten riding a snowmachine trying to prove the trooper was not injured.

If McCan't knew all of this -- how could he not have known since she was, according to him, fully vetted? -- what does it say about his judgment to put such a spiteful guttersnipe on his ticket? If he didn't know any of this -- and of course, how could he not have known? -- what does it say about how much thought he gave to the selection of his running mate?

Because she's the complete package: the intellectual depth of a Quayle, and the ethical integrity of both a Ferraro and an Agnew!

No wonder McCan't wants this investigation shut down!
