Imagine my surprise when I saw this on a casual perusal of reddit this afternoon. The story was highlighted, and there was lots of activity on it.

Sarah Palin, Mired in Debt, Whines, Begging for Donations
Sarah Palin has over half a million dollars in legal debt, and she’s whining about it. Everyone is out to get her, evidently. Now she’s thinking of starting a legal defense fund, where she will beg people to donate to help her out. Meanwhile she is not accepting stimulus package money that will help Alaskans with their trouble
Yes, I had heard of the refusal of the stimulus package. Apparently she doesn’t have any of that compassionate conservatism that the last president had - oh, wait a minute, it is exactly like ‘W’, as he voted against covering children of low income families for medical needs. Yes, that’s the love of Christ at work. I must read a different Bible. I seem to recall something about a golden rule.
Onward.
this is an excerpt from the All Spin Zone, which was originally excerpted from the Anchorage Daily News
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.
The debt, amassed since she was catapulted into the national spotlight during the presidential race, was revealed in her annual financial disclosure filed this week with the Alaska Public Offices Commission.
“On August 29, it seems the political landscape changed in Alaska. Now, it seems in order to do this job as Governor, with the political blood sport some are playing today, only the independently wealthy or those willing to spend their income on legal fees to defend their official actions in office … can serve,” Palin said in the written response to Daily News questions.
The debt is owed to the Alaska law firm Clapp, Peterson, Van Flein, Tiemessen & Thorsness, according to her financial disclosure.
The disclosure said only that she owed “hundreds of thousands of dollars.” On Friday in the written statement, attorney Thomas Van Flein wouldn’t give a precise number but said it was “a substantial debt.” Palin said she didn’t have an exact figure yet but “the debt is over a half a million dollars.”
Wow, that’s really too bad. I at once feel sorry for her, and also wonder where any of that famous Republican self-sufficiency is. Perhaps she believes in self-sufficiency applied to others, but not herself.
Oh, and about the values she instilled in her daughter….

You stupid @$$! Maybe if brainless bloggers like you weren’t so busy spreading anonymous lies about Palin during the election, she wouldn’t need to file legal action against you morons!
You wouldn’t know a real story if it bit you in the ass, moron!

Firstly, thank you once again Oracle for keeping me abreast of issues I otherwise would overlook in today’s hectic world. I believe I’ll give Ms. Palin all the sympathy she extends to wolves.Secondly, ‘reimagin’ - If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. That’s NOT a suggestion little buddy!

reimagin,
do you know how to follow links? That’s why they are there. The Alaska Daily News did, in fact, run the story, and perhaps, if you looked before shooting off your mouth, you just might learn something.
The link from here to All Spin Zone was given. From there a link to the Alaska Daily News was given. If the ADN website is a hoax, it is certainly an elaborate one. One worthy of investigation.

reimagin said, “she wouldn’t need to file legal action against you morons!”
What? Who did she “file a legal action” against? No, she didn’t. She told the Alaskan people that she would be transparent and accountable if we voted for her in 2006. So, we took her at her word. It’s not personal against the woman Sarah Palin; it’s performance evaluation specifically for this job.
Her administration strategy and governance of the state of Alaska has nothing to do with the rest of you in the United States.
If she does nothing wrong, she doesn’t NEED a legal defense. I don’t believe we’ve had a governor who did, and certainly there’s been ethics questions before her. It speaks to her personal behavior and nothing else.
Her personal career goals of holding national political office are separate. That’s not Alaska business - that’s her own thing. More power to her, whatever. Hope that works out for her.
What happens in ALASKA, who she drags into MY state, how she conducts herself in MY state, IS MY BUSINESS.

frieslander, the fact that she has an outward beauty doesn’t mean she should be in government, or any position of power.
There appears to be a very warped sense of values in the woman, and no amount of makeup or other whitewash will cover it when she opens her mouth.
Ad hominem (look it up) attacks are the refuge of the feeble minded.
