Sarah Palin

Anchorage Daily News:

Gov. Sarah Palin owes more than a half million dollars to an Anchorage law firm that has defended her against ethics complaints, and she may create a legal fund to pay the bill, she said Friday.

Legal bills have mounted fighting complaints that she called partisan, false and frivolous, starting with "the politically motivated Troopergate probe," Palin said in a written response to questions.

I don't expect to get agreement but the fact that others are so quick to attack rather than give thoughtful responses shows they don't so much want thought but for people to agree. If you want a one thought nation then I hear communism is still in vogue. If you want a free nation then disagreement is a necessity.

With her new BFFs, Van Susteren and husband, acclaimed Scientologists, she can now start praying for a Scientology miracle.

The Witch Doctor just wouldn't pay up.

Speaking of which...on her website...

"For event requests, please use INVITE GOVERNOR PALIN TO AN EVENT PAGE."

Wonder if she'd be interested in our frog jumping contest?

Also on her website, a bio of the "First Gentleman of Alaska"??? Bwahahaha.

This might be a really simple question, but, why can't her SarahPAC be used to pay her legal bills?

Oh, right, that would be too sensible and straightforward. She would never do anything that logical.

She could sell all of those clothes that the GOP provided to her. I understand that they are still missing?

The Alaskan bloggers posted on ADN her webpage if you want to comment.
http://gov.state.ak.us/govmail.php

What's wierd is it asks you a question,on the bottom of the page before you can submit.
Here it is........

" To validate your submission, please answer: 16 + 0 = ? "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess if the Alaskan Schools didn't teach you how to get the answer... the Gov doesn't want to hear from You. I hope you get the ' answer ' Right...? Tooooooo funny.... and sad.(more money for education )

When I went on it I only had to answer: 0 + 5 = ? Amazing! lol...

Don't sweat the math thing. It's just a validation routine to make sure than an actual person is posting as opposed to a spam bot.

We're only scared that she'll drop out of view before 2012. She and Joe the Plumber will be an unbeatable combination.

Maybe Fred Malik (the dog killer and eater) will bail her out. He has a lot of $$$$$! He thinks she's just wonderful!

This is TERRIBLE!!! Why should she have to pay to defend herself? She should just declare bankruptcy, citing a hardship....stupidity.

Why? Because she is a stupid big mouth hypocrite, and the chickens came home to roost right on her head--that ugly mop on top of her head....

Great comment Willow207 what chickens came home to roost non of the lawsuits won against her. Why should she have to pay those bills she didn't ask to go to court.
