Todd Palin's subpoena answers can be found here.

I really dislike reading legal documents as a rule. They are dry and boring and seem mostly exercises in vocabulary gymnastics. But this thing is actually not dull at all.

It is however extremely enlightening as it seems to reveal a sort macho face off between Todd Palin and Trooper Chuck Wooten.

During his child custody case it appears that Wooten made some angry threat toward the Palin family, clearly out of frustration due to their interference in his battle to continue to see his children.

Todd, being a macho Alaska dude, felt a little intimidated by the fact that Wooten was a substantially larger man who carried a gun, and decided to out macho Wooten by hiding behind his wife. Once Sarah became the Governor it seems clear that Todd felt the playing field favored him, and he decided to use his access in an attempt to punish Trooper Wooten.

Now you can read these answers for yourself by clicking the title, but my take is that Todd was clearly paranoid about Wooten retaliating against him or his family, even though there seems to have only been one threat made against Sarah's father during the child custody case and all of the other perceived threats were only in Todd's head. He makes reference to a fear that Wooten would try to frame one of his children for drug possession or take some other kind revenge against the Palin family. It does not take much imagination to see that Todd had become fixated on punishing Trooper Wooten for his past threats and his perception of possible future intimidation's. In short Trooper Wooten threatened Todd's manhood, and it was time for some payback.

And this document does not do any favors for Sarah Palin either.

According to Todd, the Governor believed that her difficulty in gaining access to a King Air Turbo Prop, the plane the state workers use to travel the Alaskan interior, was payback from Walt Monegan for daring to sell the Murkowski jet. The idea that this one plane was in constant demand by a number of state employees, including the State Troopers to transport prisoners, did not seem to mater to the Governor. It appears clear that Sarah Palin felt that her needs should take precedence over the needs of every other state employee.

Todd also brings up an incident where Walt Monegan informs the Palins that he received numerous reports that Sarah had transported little Trig Palin in a vehicle without using a child safety seat. For some reason the Palins take this as unfounded criticism and a personal slam on their parenting by Walt Monegan. They demand to know who made the charge, something that Monegan would not have legally been able to provide, and then decide that the whole thing is politically motivated.

All in all this thing does nothing but shore up the argument that Sarah Palin and her husband are two extraordinarily petty people who feel perfectly within their rights to fire anybody who does not play ball with them, or who dares to disagree with them.

The thing that I find stunning is that this is how Todd Palin comes across WITH this lawyer helping him to edit his answers before handing them to Stephen Branchflower. I would have paid big money to see Todd's original, unedited, answers to these questions. They must have been a hoot!

Update: It looks like the Anchorage Daily News concurs with many of my conclusions concerning this report.
