But Palin's most consistent claim, that her staff were just worried about her family's safety, rings hollow (as does, even more so, the other argument she made - that Wooten was such a lout that he would hurt trooper recruitment).

His shot went wild, and Emmons scored a 4.4. Two bullets, two brushes with Olympic infamy. "I walked away and was like, 'Crap, it happened again,' " he says. "I thought, 'Goddam, this is crazy...
