A judge repeatedly told Palin and family not to badmouth her sister's ex

  • Court documents show that Judge Suddock was disturbed by the alleged attacks by Palin and her family members on Wooten's behavior and character. "Disparaging will not be tolerated—it is a form of child abuse," the judge told a settlement hearing in October 2005, according to typed notes of the proceedings. The judge added: "Relatives cannot disparage either. If occurs the parent needs to set boundaries for their relatives."


A spokesperson for the law firm that represented Palin's sister, now known as Molly Hackett, said Hackett's lawyer would have no comment because custody issues are still in litigation. Other lawyers representing Sarah Palin in connection with the state legislative investigation—which is examining whether she abused her powers as governor in trying to have Wooten fired or disciplined—had no immediate comment. Palin's official gubernatorial spokeswoman did not respond to e-mails and a phone message requesting comment.


Wooten's lawyer also did not respond to messages requesting comment. John Cyr, executive director of the State Troopers union, who testified at the divorce hearing and is acting as Wooten's spokesman, said Wooten has avoided giving media interviews because he wants to avoid criticizing his former relatives (to date, Wooten has granted just one interview, to CNN).


As the divorce case dragged on, the judge's concern about family "disparagement" appeared to deepen. In an order signed Jan. 31, 2006, which granted Palin's sister and Wooten a final divorce decree, Judge Suddock continued to express concern about attacks by Palin's family on Wooten. The judge even threatened to curb Palin's sister's child custody rights if family criticism of Wooten continued.


In monitoring how a joint-custody arrangement worked out, the judge said in his order that he would pay particular attention to problems noted by a "custody investigator," specifically "the disparagement of the father by the mother and her family members."



The second page goes on to talk about the existing, ongoing investigation into Palin's firing of the commander of the State Troopers.  And the McCain camp keeps saying they vetted this woman?  What an embarassment.


Two people, McCain and Palin, running for the highest offices in our land who cannot control their emotions very well and end up acting like the "under" educated people that they are.

I'll be happy to elaborate.


John McCain graduated 894 out of a class of 899.

Academic achievement isn't everything, obviously. If it were, we'd just search the nation for the person with the highest GPA or the most advanced degree, and ask them to be President. However, it's certainly a major factor to consider when thinking about casting a vote for President. There are certainly other factors to consider, as well - for instance, even though Bill O'Reilly earned a Master of Public Administration from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, there is no way in a billion years I would consider voting for the man for President; he's a hothead and - despite all the academic achievement, someone who thinks first with his "gut," and tries to rationalize the decisions later: he tries to fit the story (delivered on his program each night) around his ideology, not the reverse, or even simply delivering the story "as it lays," instead of trying to spin it as anti-liberal. Obama may not be various people's cup of tea for various reasons; I just don't understand the reason that says "I'm not voting for him BECAUSE he went to Harvard," as opposed to "I'm not voting for him for OTHER reasons, EVEN THOUGH he went to Harvard." When George W. Bush was elected - both times - the media and the public went out of their way to forget or overlook the fact that Bush had attended (as his father had) both Harvard and Yale (except when the debate turned to if someone was qualified, at which point Bush's ivy league pedigree was trotted out briefly). But in the main, you never saw Bush talk about it, never saw his supporters reference it - in fact, Bush was elected, I dare say, on the strength of the argument that he was a "regular guy" - someone who WASN'T an east-coast Oxford-shirt-wearing, elite-college-attending type of guy. I wonder how many of the people who voted for him (either time, though obviously I'd expect this figure to be larger the first time, when he was less well-known) actually knew he'd attended and gotten degrees from those schools? I wonder how many of them just thought he was from a self-made Texas business family that had become successful in politics, based upon the way Bush very carefully speaks and behaves? No way to know, obviously, but I'd sure be interested in finding out, if there was a reliable way.

Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging
