DA: No Wrongdoing in Palin Contract Flap

A district attorney has cleared a California university of intentionally destroying documents about an upcoming speech by Sarah Palin.

The Stanislaus County District Attorney also found no evidence of wrongdoing by students who obtained part of Palin's contract.

The former vice presidential candidate is scheduled to give a paid speech June 25 at the California State University, Stanislaus.

It is not known how much Palin will be compensated.

Campus president Hamid Shirvani had suggested that the contract was stolen from a recycling bin inside the office of a vice president.

Two students had claimed they found the documents in a campus dumpster.

Investigators say the two students declined to assist in the probe.

Yes. Tina Fey for President. Great Idea. Will satisfy those looking for good lookin' woman pres....and TINA's brains will satisfy those looking for intelligence. Whoever thought of that...Kudos!

Sarah Palin doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that there are people that think she is smart. That's how dumb some Americas have become.

If stupid statements are how we judge intelligence, you would be far below normal.

Like it or not she as the VP candidate had more experience than Dems' presidential candidate and it is evident today.

I'm just sorry I clicked on this. Now CBS thinks I give a sh*t.

this is one dangerous woman. people actually believe her. sad but true. made for jerry springer, not prime time news. Please have a heart. At least page 9 at best OK?

All you Palin haters are the most pathetic bunch ever. Don't you realize that you are the ones that keep her in the fore front. I guess it is understandable,. That last election would have been a total snooze fest if it hadn't been for Palin coming in to liven things up. John McCain proved that he could take a lot but he didn't have the guts to hit back. Barack Obama is the most monotone, boringest speaker ever to come down the political path(except for Al Gore) Joe Biden is a total blithering idiot who doesn't even know where he is half the time. Palin was the only excitement around. Hell, the people on that oil rig were probably listening to an Obama speach and fell asleep and that's why it blew out. Boring monotonal android with dumbo ears. What a maroon!

Palin was "exciting" because people couldn't believe an actual governor could be that stupid.

Non-story about a non-issue about garbage gleaned from garbage.

Die story, die.

Here here.

It's most amazing that every time she's caught on her own words, she blames the "media" for reporting WHAT SHE SAID, go figure, I guess that works with the dimwit crowd that makes up her core support, after all they also listen to Limbaugh, doesn't that prove my point?

It must be uncomfortable to have your panties in a twist over Sarah Palin. It makes me laugh to read such rabid comments.

I'm just wondering: how do you tell if there was no wrong-doing, when the school chose to shred the contract documents even before she went to speak? And why would they do that, as she's such a personality (best term)?

[nuttyworld]

Perhaps they are aware of the people who crawl out from under their rocks at the mention of her name.

[ejavam07]

Do love her 'aw shucks' attitude though: if she'd just dress up like Daisy Duke, and stop trying to be a real politician, I think she could really make some money. I hear Kendra just scored $750e3 for showing a little of her reproductive skills!

[ejavam07]

Just think what kind of reproductive skill a 'mother of 5' must have: she's got to be worth many times over what Kendra got!
