Last night (10/11/08)while posting on a Anchorage Daily News forum (adn.com) the poster several post behind me posted a link which I clicked and lo and behold an old letter of then Mayor Sarah Palin's glowing recommendation of her brother in law Mike Wooten for a job with the State Troopers. The letter written in 2000, spoke of how great Mr. Wooten was with children. His ten years in the military and what an upstanding character he had among other things. The letter is written on City of Wasilla letterhead and contains the personal signature of then Mayor Sarah Palin.
I copied the complete post, but I deleted the username of the original poster...

All the nice stuff she wrote in her Letter of Recommendation went down the tubes when he left her sister for another woman, which is the real reason she wanted him fired. And when monegan wouldn't play her game he became a bad guy as well. Blame the victim the Sarah Failin way.
PLEASE RECOMMEND THIS POST THIS DOCUMENT IS SOMETHING THEY WOULDN'T ALLOW TO COME OUT IN THE INVESTIGATVE DOCUMENT PROVIDED TO THE PUBLIC BUT PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE TROOPERS WANT TO PUT THE TRUTH OUT AND LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HIRED IF SHE DIDN'T WRITE THIS LETTER.
A CLOSE FRIEND ON THE FORCE SENT ME A COPY OF THIS LETTER..."

Ms. Kaplan,
Odd, but as a black woman, Mrs. Obama's behind wasn't the first nor the last thing I thought of when I saw Michelle Obama. Her body is a result of her genetics...she didn't/doesn't have much to do with her height nor her body shape...So I am more interested in how she shaped her brain and her world view...but I am thrilled you have been made happy by this turn of events...it seems high on your priority list.
