Groundhog Day?

AP NewsBreak: Palin implicated in ethics probe

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by accepting private donations to pay her legal debts.

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.

The fund aims to help Palin pay off debts stemming from multiple ethics complaints against her, most of which have been dismissed. Palin says she owes more than $500,000 in legal fees.

Thats fine but why do they release a report saying she "MAY" have done something. Seems to me they should wait until they know. Seems the media wants to convict anyone they don't like in the court of public opinion before any charges are even filed

How long will it take, and what event might it take, to see a majority of citizens to see Palin as
 the fucking incompetent governmental official she has proven to be?

Attention America: She is a fucking moron.
 
On the bright side
 all of the rest of the fucking morons are lined up behind her. It makes them easier to spot. 
She sank John McCain chances in a matter of 3 months.
 It was somewhere within those months that America saw her for what she is. It's the media that keeps her in our faces.

in a FOX/edison/moffit poll on election day...

60% of voters believed Palin was not even qualified to be VICE President, much less president.

I think they already know.  Just like we know Britney is a horrible singer and Lindset is a shitty actress. 

But we still watch because it's a fun disctraction with some eye candy.  Palin = ratings.

if being president was all about qualifications then obama wouldnt have even been in the primaries hoss...fact is as sad as it is its a PC popularity contest for the most part these days and both obama and palin play to that point very well.

OK, let me pose this question, what qualifies one to be the POTUS? It seems to me that no matter how long someone has been in government ( and that may actually be a bad thing ) nothing can prepare someone for the pressure and stress of the presidency.

Dude, Palin would not be doing this BS.  So that is a canard.  I would trust Palin in a heartbeat over this dictator wannabe.  He is perhaps the dumbest "educated" person I have ever seen sit in that office. 
 
Go comment on the LA times article I posted about Obama refusing to release the list of health care execs he met with. 

Obama is more Bush than Bush was, but thats ok, lets bash Palin.

240 - you really are a blast.  Her attorney said they modeled it after exactly what others did that was ok.
