The real scandal here is that the Alaska State Troopers could conclude that a trooper tasered his 10 year old stepson, drank in his patrol car, violated the law (hunting violation) and has an escalating pattern of poor judgement and bad conduct but then slap him on the wrist with a 10 day suspension. Don’t believe me? Read it for yourself:

If Palin did as this bipartisan report alleges (by the way, the panel voted to RELEASE the report, they didn’t vote on it’s conclusions), then her husband’s actions didn’t just benefit Palin personally but they also benefitted the PUBLIC AT LARGE. Is Branchflower actually making the case that Palin was obliged to stop her husband from speaking up about a bad cop and likely liability case merely because it would benefit her personally as well as the public? That’s idiotic to say the least. Moreover, if Hollis French, sleazebag Obama partisan extraordinaire doesn’t think a cop that tasers kids and drinks in his patrol car isn’t a rogue cop then pray tell, what exactly does that cop have to do to earn the title “rogue cop” from French? Murder someone? This is a smear job. Palin shouldn’t be trashed for this, she should be CELEBRATED.

I’m shocked that you Obama supporters are actually supporting the idea of keeping a dirty cop that abuses children and drinks in his patrol car on the job. I thought you had better morals than that. At least that’s what you keep CLAIMING.
