As far as I can tell, her problem is this:

Palin upon her election to Governor:

"Hold me accountable."

Palin now:

"These are a bunch of partisan attacks! Ignore what I expressly asked you all to do before. *whine, whine, biatch, biatch*"

The McCain campaign should cover her legal bills related to "troopergate", etc. It never would have become an issue if she hadn't been nominated and politically motivated charges were raised against her.

/// Yes, what her husband tried to do to the trooper was certainly wrong and probably illegal. It still wouldn't have required hundreds of thousands of dollars of legal work if she hadn't been thrust into national prominence.

FTFA:

Asked for response, state Sen. Hollis French, an Anchorage Democrat who directed the investigation, wrote in an e-mail that the state's bipartisan Legislative Council approved the investigation 12-0, with eight Republicans voting for it. The panel agreed to spend up to $100,000, mainly for an independent counsel, but spent $75,000.

If it was so politically motivated, why did 8 Republicans vote to conduct the investigation? They easily could have shot it down.

I'm sure there are a lot of of people out there who will help poor little Sarah. Just because she used her office to go on a personal vendetta and then got caught lying about it is no reason to persecute her.

they aren't "real Republicans" just like some of us aren't "real Americans"

get it? those are the evil Republicans who are corrupt and the one's she's out to get rid of. They're only trying to get rid of her first.
All this stuff about phone calls,emails,staff refusing to testify,her abdicating the power of office to her husband and people losing their jobs is just a sideshow.

It's their personal vendetta against her not her's against them.
Or maybe it's both?

here's what I think happened. She came to power due to her blowing the whistle on the "good old boys network" up there.
But she set up her own once she took over. She had some party backing. She had oil company backing.
She came in and pretty much let hubby run things while she stayed up front in the press and was the face on the office.
They decide to use the office to go after sister's ex brother in law. She's in a custody battle. Him losing his job would hurt his case.
They do break the law. Instructing the Chief to fire the in law
is against the rules. Firing the chief for not doing it was clearly retaliation. Then there was the cover up and denials that were exposed as lies when the phone conversations were recorded. Further investigation revealed emails and other evidence. Then came the refusal to testify. The GOP flew in lawyers.
Regardless of a partisan intent of the Republicans on the vote the facts still stand. Her argument is a red herring.

Calling her a weapons grade idiot and pointing out that she violated the ethics laws isn't a partisan attack when it's true.

We're not saying she's a lying moron because she's a republican. We're saying she's a lying moron because she lies and because we use more intelligent things than her as food.

Hey she didn't have to accept. If you have serious skeletons in your closet you should know they will come out when you run.

"I must defend against these baseless ethics accusations out of my own pocket as the use of public monies to do so could itself violate state law," Palin wrote.

... But, if it didn't violate state law, I'd totally use your money!

The investigation began a month before she was selected by McCain. Time being linear, her selection as running mate cannot have caused an investigation that was already four weeks old.

lol wut?

It wouldn't have just dissappeared or anything. I hope you realize this, but some people in her own state might not want to forget about stuff she may or may not have done if they were out to get her.

Sid_6.7: As far as I can tell, her problem is this:....

That's because you cannot see beyond the constricting bounds of your anus, where your head seems to be lodged.

Pray she gets the bailout or she may have to take over when principal production starts on "Nailin Pailin 2".

\ She probably looks at least as good as the chick in 1.
\\ them immovable titties were scary though.
\\\ seriously, I like a bunch of jiggle boobies.

She stepped out onto the National Political Stage before she was ready, before her own affairs were squared away, and now she's paying the price.

Hope that price of being the poster child for the 'Conservative' Movement is worth it.

I'm starting to see more Palin 2012 bumper stickers. It boggles the mind. If she is the answer, the GOP doesn't understand the question.

notmtwain: The McCain campaign should cover her legal bills related to "troopergate", etc. It never would have become an issue if she hadn't been nominated and politically motivated charges were raised against her.

The investigation was ongoing before she was chosen as the VP-nominee. Sorry, but she has to shoulder this one. Her supporters seem to love her though, so she should have no trouble raising the money.

Another concerned the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute using her photograph to promote seafood.

In fairness to her, they were using a picture of her vagina.

"Obviously we cannot afford to personally pay these bills -- and really no future governor should feel the sense of financial vulnerability at the hands of those with a political vendetta bent on personal destruction," Palin wrote. "Some have suggested a legal fund to pay these bills. We'll have to pursue that."

That doesn't sound very personally responsible.

Ask a former Arkansas governor how he feels about a legal fund.

Can't everyone see that she is a victim here? Just kidding, she's an irresponsible, lying biatch!

I must defend against these baseless ethics accusations

Baseless? Wasn't she more or less found guilty?

"...Now, it seems in order to do this job as Governor, with the political blood sport some are playing today, only the independently wealthy or those willing to spend their income on legal fees to defend their official actions in office ... can serve," Palin said...

Or you could just not do anything to cause yourself to be investigated for ethics violations

You forgot the part where this was already an issue before she was nominated.

She shoulda seen this comin' from her house.

I think it's cute. Like a kid believing in Santa Claus. The idea that Palin could not only survive a primary battle, but successfully debate Obama just makes me want to pat them on the head and say, "Yes, Mrs. Sarah IS going to run for President, but only if you're REALLY GOOD for the next four years."

Learn the difference.

Sid_6.7: If it was so politically motivated, why did 8 Republicans vote to conduct the investigation? They easily could have shot it down.

Because Sarah Palin is not liked by Alaska Republican politicians. She got to the Governor's position by stabbing a number of them in the back.

I can't think of a more concrete embodiment of all that is wrong with the Republican party than this rabid support for Sarah Palin.

Keep aiming low GOP, that way you never lose your arrow.

two posts deflecting to Clinton seems more than a "meh"
