Bailey’s ‘Blind Allegiance’ Portrays a Paranoid Palin

The lion’s share of the book focuses on the much-discussed Troopergate scandal, in which the Palins allegedly targeted Wooten for termination following threats against their family. When public safety commissioner Walt Monegan didn’t bow to her wishes, Palin fired him. Such were the charges from political opponents, at least. ..If for no other reason, Blind Allegiance is a worthwhile read for its firsthand account of the scandal. Whether the retelling is accurate is another question. Consider the source. Bailey devotes page after page to sanctimoniously smearing Palin’s reputation, yet he claims the book is a way to confess his own sins and clear his own conscience. That declaration would seem more genuine were he not cashing in by trashing his former boss. Bailey has an ax to grind, and he does so with glee.
