The citizens of Alaska must grow more embarrassed by the day:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Another ethics complaint was filed against Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Monday – less than a week before her resignation – alleging she failed to submit complete gift disclosure forms in a timely manner.
The complaint filed with the attorney general is the 19th ethics grievance against Palin, who responded via Twitter postings that the filings came from a "serial complainer" intent on abusing the political process.
And now an independent investigator finds Palin may have broken ethics laws by taking big bucks from her GOP buddies to pay for legal bills:
The report obtained by The Associated Press says Palin is securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through the Alaska Fund Trust, set up by supporters.
An investigator for the state Personnel Board says in his July 14 report that there is probable cause to believe Palin used or attempted to use her official position for personal gain because she authorized the creation of the trust as the "official" legal defense fund. Read on...
Continuing her bid to be the biggest political joke in U.S. history, soon-to-be ex-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin chose to whine about the charges on Twitter, accusing her accuser of violating ethics laws:
"In violation of Ethics Act more allegations were filed today by serial complainer; gave to press be4 we could respond; ridiculous, wasteful..." Palin wrote in the first of a string of postings on the social networking site Twitter. Read on...
As our Jon Perr notes, Palin could have raised a lot more money and gotten a lot more help from the GOP faithful had she adopted the Scooter Libby 3-step defense method.
Kinda sounds like an Alaskan Senator I know,...
Sounds kinda mavericky to me.
Here is an interesting comment I read at Huffington Post
"I live in Juneau and a couple days ago Rupert Murdoch's big yacht and big jet showed up in town. I'm willing to bet that there are currently talks going on about something like 'The O'Palin Factor' or 'Hannity and the Hottie' or something along those lines. You heard it here first :-)"
..probably because the house was on fire.

I can tell you, we are. Ms. Palin ruined our reputation.
We used to get questions about our natural wonders, now we get questions about how stupid our governor is.
Smart enough to bail out before she gets into more trouble or was that someone else's idea?
to Unnatural Blunder---my deepest sympathies. I live in IL so I can relate to the stupid governor stuff.

aaaaand
ONE!
has teeth, but in my opinion, the rest of this is just fluff.
Most states have official legal defense funds set up for their leaders. Apparently, Alaska did not. I see nothing wrong with establishing one for the governor's office.
For anyone that missed Tom Tomorrow cartoon and post the other day.It was hilarious and so true.

with Johnny Cash!
i live in philly, and for the 4th of july (pretty big here in PHL) i went over to the historic (even if rebuilt) city tavern for some drinks and grilled meat products, and this retired-age lady is there completely decked out in sarah-gear: palin 2012 shirt, stickers, and a flag painted on her cheek. fine. this is america, look like an idiot, not a crime.
but, and the reason i am writing this, what i couldn't help notice were the stares, the glares, and some dude pointing at the sarah drone. it was like a two-headed dragon walked in the place wearing a stinky diaper. the reaction among the people looked like a mixture of shock, dismay, and bemusment. and this lady didn't even do anything, just being a sarah-drone was enough to make people gawk and point.
yes, philly leans democratic (understatement), but the reaction to a mere sarah-drone was remarkable. despite the efforts of the msm (again) to catapult palin to the national stage, i just don't see how anyone could take her seriously as a national candidate. (not that anyone here does)
I enjoyed your post but I must admit that I'm a lilbit disappointed that nobody got whacked in the end. Would've made it better.

in 2012 -- pure comedy gold!
Just like Gov Sanford, Gov Palin does not know when to shut up. Sarah, leave the responses to the charges to your lawyer and STFU. The hole is already deep enough, stop digging.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

My gawd, man - she went to five different colleges!!!
I thought everyone after the last eight years knew that if you vote for a republican you vote for an absolute lack of ethics?
Can someone please show me any republican that has ethics?
republicanism is a mental illness!
Here comes her 19th nervous breakdown.
Excellent.

Someone needs to confiscate this tainted twits twittering device also too.
I'm not dismissing Sarah Palin at all. I think she is an insult to voters but others feel differently. I don't vote for folksy everyman charm because it didn't work out so well in high school. I learned my lesson but others didn't.
Sarah Barracuda reminds me of all the girls who went to Myrtle Beach for spring break. She still wears a ponytail, tacky tee-shirts and glitter nail polish.
Her base is out there, you betcha!
They used to have a sign in the jail house that said "Welcome Gaston County" and I was from Gaston County.
Good times good times...
Back on topic...I agree with your post...dismiss Palin at your own risk.
As stupid as she is, she can charm the pants of a certain, less intelligent demographic.
I live in Juneau and I just wanted everyone to know that Rupert Murdoch's big jet showed up a couple days ago and Rupert Murdoch's big yacht showed up around the same time. Here comes 'The O'Palin Factor' or 'Hannity and the Hottie', etc...
I thought Faux had tried, failed, and given up on the comedy news show business.
The biggest victim in politics will scream victim once again! Please leave the victim alone! Crooked conservative victims can't catch a break on these librul blogs!!
Accountability = Persecution
Liberal media needs to stop persecuting patriots by replaying video in it's entirety totally out of context.
The truth has a liberal bias in it's so unfair to conservative victims.
Leave Sarah Palin alone! She's running out of things to quit!
is to smear Palin by whatever means possible since the polls came out with her, without any announcement of candidacy, only 8 points behind Obama in 2012 as his polling numbers continue to fall. But as nothing sticks and as they get thrown out, the pathological pettiness and frivolity of these accusations, plus the obvious jealousy of the accusers is becoming more apparent: secretly they wish they could be Palin. They are beginning to sound like "birthers"! These efforts will backfire, especially with educated, successful working mothers in 2012. Unless a "Bush Lied, People Died" mantra is found soon,it's time to focus on policy, IMO.
The table by the exit is passing out cups of Kool Aid and tin foil hats. Help yourself on the way out.
All out. The birthers and the PDSers were in front of me. LOL
Please explain to Sarah when you see her...it's "STIMULUS PACKAGE"...not "STIMULATE A PACKAGE".
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
STIMULUS PACKAGE she uses when talking about her husband.
SIMULATE A PACKAGE is when she is referring to those who stuff socks in their jeans.
"Obvious jealousy"... "wish we could be Palin"?
Um, yeah, right. In the meantime:

Another one that I am so glad did not get elected this last time around. Wow - do you people have any idea what kind of mess we would be in right now?
Talk about dodging a bullet
McCain would already be takin' a dirt nap because of all the pressure and problems.
Sarah would have named Mitch McConnell as Vice President, and by now would already be contemplating quitting or possibly quit already.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
these ethics complaints was one of the reasons (bogus!) she quit being governor, I take it that as soon as she leaves office next week, ALL OF THE COST to fight these charges will be coming out of her own personal bank account, right? I hope there's someone up there in Alaska who will be watching her and the money trail like a hawk.
Also, is Palin getting any money from SarahPAC, the pro-Palin group set up by the husband of FOX News' Greta Van Sustern?
I heard on Kos that Sarah! was going to be mounting some sort of all-out frontal assault on liberelz or something this fall.
I wonder if she's absorbed anyone's advice on the folly of fighting on two fronts.
Will that all out frontal assault be in a demi bra or simply topless?
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
She'll form a committee made up of her cronies before she leaves to investigate.
The truth about Sarah Palin/McCain, and her run for VP.
