...telling exchange: Deputy Commissioner John Glass, who worked under Monegan, told Branchflower he was "livid" after a Palin staffer, Frank Bailey, went outside the chain of command and called a state trooper in far-off Ketchikan to complain about Wooten. Why had Bailey called the trooper? Because, Bailey said, this trooper had gone to church with Sarah Palin back in Wasilla, so he felt "comfortable" talking to him about Wooten. Glass, too, tried to sound the warning that continuing to pressure anyone and everyone in the matter would end in "an unbelievable amount of embarrassment for the Governor and everybody...
...Palin would not acknowledge a need for "education" prior to ascending to the second highest office in the land. Her smirking, contemptuous dismissal of community service at the Republican National Convention; a litany of falsehoods including the claim to have said "no thanks" to the Ketchikan "bridge to nowhere" and discrepancies in her assertions on the investigation into abuse of power during her tenure as governor; her campaign's unprecedented demand for "deference" from a free press before answering questions - all paint a portrait of a woman who believes she has it all figured out.

...names are narcotic: Skagway, Unalakleet, the Hazy Islands, Turnagain Arm. Saying ''Talkeetna'' aloud clears a city man's mind of lint. Whispering ''Aniakchak'' cures nervous debility. Think ''Last month, off Ketchikan'' while futilized in a traffic jam on the San Diego Freeway, and all the other cars disappear. Zap, there they go. Last month, off Ketchikan, from an altitude of about 1,000 ft., Bush Pilot Dale Clark spotted something glinting in the water of Carroll Inlet. He pointed. ''Down there, see?''
