So much for that "diva" talk. This is a real woman. She owns the moral high ground. Her attackers come at her from the gutter, leaving her to easily put them in their place. Just as she did with Letterman, and those that brought the "embezzlement" charges. Her legal counsel made MSNBC, the Huggington Post, New York Times, and The Washington Post, look foolish.

high moral ground LMAO She used the office to try and get an ex brother in law fired, she lied continuously, and she has long record of hpocrisy,

Made them look foolish huh LMAO I don't see any lawsuits. She just brought the allegations to the forefront and put it into the news. I guess she wanted her name associated in the same sentence as scandal.

Her detractors do not come from the gutter, they just use her words and deeds against her.

Yea, she's currently training for her "next campaign" by gutting fish in remote Alaska fishing villages. Yep. That should help.

Despite leaving office about two-thirds of the way through her term, Palin "is not a quitter," Van Flein said. He added that she "already accomplished her major goals," including winning legislative approval for a massive natural gas pipeline.

But Ramras, who calls himself "a pro-development, conservative Republican," called that assertion "crazy." Though the pipeline project won approval in the state Legislature, Alaska has yet to establish a "durable and predictable" financial structure that will get producers to commit to the plan.

"Anyone who thinks we've started anything is delusional. ... What she did was she created a Gordian knot and then handed it off to someone else," he said.

"Especially when all these lawmakers are lining up for office," she said. "Their desire would be to clobber the administration left and right so that they can position themselves for office. I'm not going to put Alaskans through that."

And that will change how when they have a new and less experienced governor. They will still be "lining up for office." They will still be wanting to "clobber the administration left and right so that they can position themselves for office."

Nothing will change except Palin will not be fulfilling her term because she QUIT

Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.

"I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.


There is no Department of Law.

NEWCO123, don't really know where you got you stats, but my guess is they came from some right-wing radio/tv personality and/or radical right-wing website. I suppose you aren't aware of the FACT that increased education corrolates with more liberal political beliefs...but then again when did FACTS stand in the way of a conservative?
