Peterr of Firedoglake comments,
So let me get this straight.
- She quit, because she wouldn't be able to resist all the fun of being a lame duck.
- She quit, because her absence from the governor's office is what's best for Alaska.
- She quit, because it's the mavericky thing to do.
Wow.
Sarah Palin's airy speech resigning her position as Governor had stark convenience.
- It took Sanford's prior speech out of the media spotlight.
- People were still frenzied from MJ kicking the bucket (He still holds his crotch when he kicks. Even in undead form.)
- Palin is in $500,000 in legal debt from at least 18 ethics complaints beginning since she was alongside McCain in the running.
I skimmed some of the complaints submitted by Frank Gwartney in late 2008. The file discusses how roles for the Governors children had been created when they accompanied her uninvited, on state and official business. He notes this article quoting Garnero,
"We cover the expenses of anyone who's conducting state business. I can't imagine kids could be doing that."
Those who are calling the complaints frivolous (including Palin) need to keep in mind of the 150,000 dollar wardrobe she was sporting during her campaign for vice president.
FEC officials said purchases for such purposes are prohibited. Campaigns are not allowed to spend donated funds on expenses a person would have had regardless if they were running as a candidate or in office. That includes items like clothing, mortgage payments, country club fees, rent, groceries, etc. CBS
The only way she could have topped her own speech is wrapping it up with a swift, "let them wear Gucci".
