IT'S ALL POLITICAL
The Pink Flamingo was the 2nd blog to pick up the story of "Troopergate" back on July 23. In fact, the moment I noticed the uproar, I felt it was an indication that Sarah Palin was going to be this year's Cinderella VP pick. The media is now feasting on their usual PDS antics, but are failing to mention one little thing. She had every right to fire Monegan, whose actions may have been inspired, in part, by the fact that he too, has been accused of domestic violence. I don't know about you, but I don't like "dirty" cops. I really don't care how they are removed from their position, as long as they have been removed. Nothing is more terrifying to a woman than to be married to a bad cop, and have no one believe her. Fortunately for Todd Palin's sister, someone did believer her. The problem was getting the bad cop (her ex) separated from his job.
What I find most amazing about his whole story is the fact that the same MSM who demands bad cops be terminated, are bound and determined that this dirty cop, is pure and innocent and bad Sarah Palin should be burned at the stake with other witches. On July 31, the WSJ had more about the incident.
In August, I wrote a piece here at The Pink Flamingo about the incident and domestic violence. That's what it is all about - domestic violence. What we're not seeing in all the let's hate Sarah coverage is the fact that Walter Monegan, who is at the heart of the problem, had domestic violence problems of his own. (Pink Flamingo)
"..."..."She apparently has difficulty compartmentalizing personal feelings from official acts," said Walter Monegan, who spent 33 years in the Anchorage Police Department - five years as chief - before Palin named him as the state public safety commissioner late in 2006.... It turns out that well before he was jettisoned for what he says was his refusal to fire trooper Wooten at the behest of Sarah Palin, Monegan had his own share of domestic troubles - some of them spilling all the way down to the Bay Area. In October 1994, Monegan's estranged wife, who had moved from Alaska to the Peninsula with the couple's two daughters after more than 10 years of marriage, sought a temporary restraining order against him - accusing Monegan of threatening to kill her, waving a gun at her and dislocating her shoulder, according to her declaration on file in Santa Clara County Superior Court. In an interview last week, Georgene Moldovan said Monegan had threatened several times to throw her body in an Alaska river. Monegan, 57, who has since remarried, vigorously denied Moldovan's allegations, both in court papers filed at the time and in an interview with us last week. "I'm not a door slammer - I don't punch walls," he said. Monegan admitted to dislocating Moldovan's shoulder, but said it was an accident that had happened before they were married, while they "were wrestling and tickling." Moldovan was an emergency room doctor and professor at Stanford and shuttled back and forth from Alaska to the Peninsula the last seven years of their marriage. Monegan asked her for a divorce in 1993, but snapped when he learned he might lose the couple's house, she says. One day in April 1993, she said in her court filing, "he pulled out his gun and waved it at me outside my home and yelled he would kill me if I stopped him." In the interview, Moldovan said Monegan "would show up unannounced and break into my apartment and do threatening things. I was forced to get a restraining order because I was really fearful he was going to harm me." Monegan denounced the allegations as "either half-truths or pure fabrications." He points out that Moldovan made her accusations in the midst of a bitter fight over who would get the couple's daughters. If any of the allegations had been documented, he said, he would have been fired from his Anchorage police job and never been hired by Palin as Alaska's top cop in 2006...."
