I wonder sometimes if Sarah Palin regrets stepping into the ring with John McCain to run for the White House, if for no other reason than you'd think that with the election over, folks would get on with life. But her political opponents don't seem to be able to put it down.Redstate reports that Palin is being purposefully hit with frivolous ethics charges in an attempt to bankrupt her.
From just September till now, Sarah Palin has accumulated a personal dept of over $500,000 in legal fees defending herself against fake/false/frivolous ethics charges. That’s Five Hundred Thousand Dollars.
A group of Alaska liberals, with the apparent cooperation of members of the Alaska Democratic Party have been filing ethics charge after ethics charge against Sarah Palin. The aim? Not to get her impeached and booted from office, because every single one of the charges are frivolous, baseless and even fairly deranged - one was even filed in the name of a soap opera character - but something far more personal.
.....no matter how frivolous their charges, no matter how far-fetched, no matter how bone-headed stupid, the Governor would still have to legally defend herself against them - meaning she’ll have to pay attorney fees as she goes before the Personnel Board.This is pretty despicable behavior and a high price for Palin to pay for her ambition as she tries to chart a course of leadership within the party and its conservative movement.
She's still a threat to them, and they know it.
ReplyDeleteI think thats overdone. Outside of the party and her small legion of die hard synchophants, Palin verges on being a tabloid figure. Clearly, her in state rivals are taking the opportunity to stick it to her, but the idea that she is being preemptively targeted for takeout prior to 2012 is kinda vast left wing conspiracy theory stuff to my mind.
ReplyDeleteI won't be convinced she really has the juice for the national stage until I see her lead her own march for the Whitehouse.
Doesn't the judge have the folks filing phony lawsuits pay court costs? If so, then Palin's bank account won't be in jeopardy.
ReplyDeleteAs I recall, this concern about legal costs didn't seem to bother Bill Clinton's critics back in the day. They sued everyone that worked in the Clinton administration including many who could not afford the legal costs.
Good for the goose ... good for the gander?
