Wooten happened to be Palin's former brother-in-law and had been involved in a bitter divorce and custody dispute with Sarah Palin's younger sister Molly McCann since 2005. Monegan's refusal to remove Wooten was, he said, part of what led to his firing. If Monegan's accusations are true, it would be a serious abuse of the power of the governor - not to mention a major blow to her image as a good-government reformer - suggesting that...
...Wooten allegedly told McCann that Palin's father would "eat a f___ing lead bullet", a comment that Palin says she and her son overheard.

After checking in to one of the more grownup hotels--the so-new-it-smells-like-paint Westin Imagine has a barman, Kyle McCann, who does masterly things with flavored vodka--go ahead and submit to Disney World. Skip the main park and head for Animal Kingdom ($75). Cynics will argue, correctly, that the park's Kilimanjaro Safaris are merely rides around a large zoo. But this zoo has no walls, and you see it from...
...welcome the news today, although it is no cause for celebration.' KATE MCCANN, whose daughter Madeleine has been missing for 14 months, after Portuguese investigators closed the case. She and her husband were cleared as suspects...
