How could I have forgotten Troopergate wherein Palin first tried to get her ex-brother-in-law fired and then later his boss. What a great story about trying to use your power to harm people you dislike. I really must run for public office.
It starts like this. Before Palin becomes governor, her sister files for divorce. Allegedly, the brother-in-law threatens Palin's father in front of Palin....but she doesn't tell anyone about it until the divorce trial because she wasn't actually worried about it.
The Ex finally gets suspended from the state troopers, for among other reasons, killing a moose illegally (did you know if your spouse's name is on a permit, you can't kill the moose? remember that, kids) and tasering his stepson. Not because he was trying to abuse the kid but because his stepson asked him too! What a family.
Troopergate continues with the Palins bothering the ex's boss and firing him, though she claims it had nothing to do with his reluctance to deal with her sister's ex. Suuuurrreeee. Whatever you say Madame Governor.
