Palin's legal debts pile up (Half-Million+)

[RamboLiberal]

Source: Anchorage Daily News

Gov. Sarah Palin owes more than a half million dollars to an Anchorage law firm that has defended her against ethics complaints, and she may create a legal fund to pay the bill, she said Friday.

Legal bills have mounted fighting complaints that she called partisan, false and frivolous, starting with "the politically motivated Troopergate probe," Palin said in a written response to questions.

She said the legal bills all stem from her actions as governor.

"I must defend against these baseless ethics accusations out of my own pocket as the use of public monies to do so could itself violate state law," Palin wrote.

1. Perhaps she can "fetch-up" all those fancy sunday clothes she has waiting for at the RNC Headquarter

and have one humongous E-bay sale jubilee? :silly:

12. What's ironic is Panhandler Palin rejected the stimulus money

to help Alaskan citizens pay their bills, whereas she set up Sarah PAC to pay for clothes, travel and legal bills. That Hillbilly is a disgraceful hypocrite of the worst kind.

14. She refuses stimulus $ to help Alaskans...but sticks out her hand for $ for her own bills.

Hypocrite, you betcha.

But than, hypocrisy is the republican way of life.

16. Asking For Help and Forcing Someone To With Taxes - Difference?

Let her ask for help from friends and supporters. What's it to you?

But the Government has already shown that if you accept bailout money you are on the dole and have to do as you're told. Ask the AIG execs. She rightly doesn't want that for her constituents.

23. This board is for Democrats. Posts of yours that I've seen so far indicate you are no Democrat.

[apnu]

26. If that's the case, why did she only reject 31% of the Federal $$?

'Cuz that's what she did. She took the money she wanted from the feds and rejected the rest, so tell me how she doesn't have to do what she's told w/ only 69% of the dollars.

[truebrit71]

28. You are on the wrong board friendo...

...enjoy your short stay...

2. I'd like to hear Bill Clinton say he understands her situation ...

just to see the reaction from wingnuts.

5. "We understand perfectly about The Clenis." - Republicon Homelander Wingnuts

"This whole current housing and securities and stock economic-debt-moral turpitude dilemma-disaster is all Bill Clinton's fault. Except for thep part that's Obama's fault. Smirk."

- Republicon Homelander Wingnuts for America to FAIL

[Merlot]

3. Why doesn't she use her own money from her book deal?

instead, she may create a legal fund and ask for contributions. typical.

[Supersedeas]

30. massive failure of integrity

[jmowreader]

4. A half million...that's not so much...

If she just starts a website like the Save Karyn woman did, and everyone who has or had a McCain-Palin bumpersticker on their car sends her five dollars, she should have that paid off in no time!

[MetaTrope]

6. What a lovely slush fund this will be for her

[Bette Noir]

7. Better that she just stop hiring lawyers to twist the truth

And let herself be removed from office for the corrupt slimeball she is.

[tomm2thumbs]

8. Paternity Suit?

13. Yea Poor Sarah......

10. I really wish that she owed more than a half million in medical bills.

Then she might know how some real Americans actually live.

[Janice325]

11. Awww, poor little Sarah...

I'm crying buckets of tears...:sarcasm:

[scytherius]

15. Bankrupt the bitch

She's asking for a bailout. Let her bankrupt.

[btwhiteh]

17. You kiss your special needs kid with that mouth?

So you run for office and have to stand up the the onslaught of public scrutiny should bankrupt an individual. Then only the rich will be in office. Unless you tax the snot out of them.

[Roy]

18. Govern ethically... VOILA! no ethic complaints..... simple no??

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

19. Yeah right these attacks on either side are not politically motivated.

They hounded Clinton to no end about a blowjob.

21. Politicians go through a media anal exam. You think Mr Smith's up for that?

You can't change the media. You can't change the political climate. But you can help out a candidate when they need it. We need more honorable value drive people in government. And the process they have to go through to get elected is letting though a very corrupt bunch. You may not like a candidates politics, morals, or way of speaking. So keep them out of office. Don't destroy them. Otherwise, someday you may find yourself at the other end of the rectal probe.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

22. Not sure you replied to the correct post.

[truebrit71]

29. You are on the wrong board.

That wolf-killing bitch is neither 'honorable' or a 'value drive people' whatever the fuck that is...

Buh-bye.

[Blaze Diem]

31. I thought Free Republic WAS " the other end of the rectal probe"

Welcome to Democratic Underground. Glad you could stop by.

[No Elephants]

24. Please see Post 23. Her book deal should cover this. BTW, the claims are not baseless.

[JI7]

20. is that why she is reconsidering taking that federal money ?

we know she has used tax payer funds for personal reasons many times.

[KamaAina]

25. Let me be the first to donate!

27. "I'll find that money and get it right back to ya!" n/t

[DebbieCDC]

32. Ah, that poor Wasillabilly

Maybe she should get together with Scooter Libby -- I'm sure he can instruct her on how to raise defense funds. Or she sell those GOP-purchased threads on Ebay. Or become a surrogate mother for a rich fundie puke couple. There are ENDLESS ways for her raise money as long as she uses that old noggin' you betcha!
