    I can certainly see her browbeating CIA analysts.

    "Even as an angry "hockey Mom," it is impossible to imagine her browbeating CIA analysts to concoct new rationales for invading Iraq."

    Why do you think that? She's on record as having her husband and a half dozen of her staffers browbeat Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan in an attempt to get him to fire State Trooper Mike Wooten. Wooten's "crime"? He was in a nasty custody suit with Palin's sister.

    She eventually fired Monegan for not firing Wooten.
