Sarah Palin: I couldn't afford to stay governor
The Anchorage Daily News reported in March 2009 that Palin owed more than a half-million dollars in legal debts after fighting numerous ethics violation claims. The state personnel board went on to declare that the legal fund set up while she was governor to help pay those debts was itself illegal. (The fund was shut down and relaunched.) Palin cited the ethics charges in a post-resignation interview with ABC News: "t has been costing our state millions of dollars. It's cost Todd and me. You know the adversaries would love to see us put on the path of personal bankruptcy so that we can't afford to run."

Geez, I wish I could suffering trying to survive on $125k a year plus my husband's salary. Maybe if she wasn't so greedy and power hungry she'd be able to make a go of it even with 5 kids.

1. Shes just trying to drum up sympathy

She's a fucking joke, and I hope she gets kidnapped by those Russians she can see from her yard.

[Kennah]

3. You're onto something there

This could add up to big bucks for our country. Remember "The Ransom Of Red Chief"?

[Dyler Turden]

2. I SO don't like that woman. n/t

[onecent]

4. Boo Hoo Sarah....you dip! n/t

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. Anybody have a record of the Clintons' legal bills

or the US government's legal bills by the end of Bill's Presidency? :shrug: Does anybody care about how much money the Republicans wasted going after the Clintons? Did Clinton decide to quit halfway through his first (or second term)?

And some people still think that Palin's Presidential material?????
:wtf:

6. She has the most obnoxious voice. n/t

[Flubadubya]

7. And this country can't afford for her to be President...

:spank: :mad: :spank:

[Octafish]

10. Exactly.

And well said, Flubadubya.

8. My mom raised five kids..

on a whole lot less. She was an LPN (she's now an RN) and my dad worked at a printing plant. Trust me, it was a lot less money, even if it was many years ago.

It drives me crazy when the right pumps her up as a working mom that has FIVE, children, lots of women do that, and more she's not special cuz she had five kids while she worked.

9. Maybe if you had understood the law, you'd wouldn't have had to pay lawyers to defend you.

Amazingly, most other governors don't/didn't have your ethical problems that created your legal problems. What is this...a call for corruption in government?

11. Honor and Integrity does not pay the bills! Ya Betcha

[lunatica]

12. Always the victim. This time it's those pesky ethics people

But does it occur to her not to violate every ethic in the book? Hell no!

[Barack_America]

13. She can't afford her own lack of ethics...and neither can we.

Investigating the firing of her ex-BIL from a public post and flying her kids around on the public dime? Clearly the height of frivolity.

:eyes:

[missheidi]

14. Well, if she were ethical, she wouldn't have those bills, now would she?

She's a joke, period.

[hughee99]

15. Just ask Charlie Rangel. n/t

[Skittles]

16. fuck off Sarah, you're a MONEY AND FAME WHORE

please FUCK OFF

[Canuckistanian]

17. Doesn't every American family have to fight ethics charges?

She's just like us.

[Major Hogwash]

18. The rest of us are glad you resigned from being a Governor, now just go away.

Back into the shadows that you came from.
