The Palins had filed numerous complaints against Wooten while Sarah was a private citizen, which apparently wasn't enough.

His union said his behavior was not "job-related".

He sounds like a bad cop to me, and they're often the hardest to control - especially with a powerful union in their corner.

Asshole or not.. Last I checked Palin had an executive office, this was a legal/judicial matter. At best she should've called for review through the Alaska Court systems; taking it up to the state supreme court if needed.

I'm not saying he probably didn't deserve it, but her reasoning doesn't match what officially happened. Secondly she over extended her authority over personal conflict.

I believe everyone here knows which side I lean on; and i have to say this is a messy situation and a conflict of interest. It was a mistake on her part to have involved herself the way she did.
