lemon law, you should edit the original post, it is nothing but blatant lies contradicted by the very source you posted.
The source has a misleading title, but the actual text clearly states that the fund was created by others, and that the probe found palin to have acted in good faith. So she was cleared of any wrongdoing in something she didn't do, but still had to pay half a million dollars for in legal fees.

Palin might not be the brightest bulb, but that is no reason to lie and drag her reputation in the mud. She shouldn't be running for president, but what you are doing is atrocious.

Editing out this post since it was made in the thread that was merged with this one, and therefore doesn't make sense anymore.

SECOND EDIT: Threads merged here so my original comment does not apply... :awe:

EDIT: Oh, and you should not duplicate the topic as LemonLaw has been thoroughly discredited in the original thread. You will learn that he ALWAYS fails to acknowledge when he is wrong even if the mountains of evidence bury him where he stands.

Also, I doubt if a mod will make him correct his deliberately false thread title. But one can always hope.

As much as I have a strong dislike to Palin's addition to this country OP has a strange interpretation of the link.

I still thinks its really strange on two fronts to say:

"Petumenos, however, found that Palin — the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee — acted in good faith and relied on a team of attorneys to make sure the fund was lawful."

So not only do we say, its not Palin's fault that she hired idiots for attorneys, we also say, in terms of all the ethics complaints filed against Sarah Palin, that Sarah had nothing to do with ALL the ethics complaints filed against her.

At the end of the day, all Petumenos said is that Palin can't be criminally prosecuted for her part in setting up the defense fund non corrupt Governors never need in the first place. Nothing more and nothing less, the blame for initial misconduct can't logically transfer to incompetent attorneys, nor is the Alaska ethics commission done with Sarah on all other ethics issues.

Meanwhile, if Sarah can't use a dime raised by her initial defense fund to pay her incompetent attorneys, we are still left with the question of who will pay for Sarah Palin's incompetent attorneys?

And then the other thing to point out is the State of Alaska is already on the hook for 1.9 million dollars of legal costs on these Palin corruption issues with no end in sight.

LOL, when confronted by the multitute of truth being rubbed in LL's face, it is much easier to construct an alternate reality. I think that LL posts this idiotic nonsense not out of partisan buffoonery, but instead muncheausen syndrome being a likely cause.........

It is obvious that the cost of nuisance filings like the ones that have been made and found not to be valid should be the responsibility of the accusers, not the defendants that are the targets.

It is time for the State of Alaska to send the bill to Kim Chatman, Andree McLeod and the Democratic National Committee.

And now PJabber, its you who is going way past Absurd.

Let us assume, that some idiot who does not like you accuses you of being Jack the Ripper, and that your State is on the hook for legally defending you. All you would have to do is produce your birth certificate to prove you were born far after the crimes of Jack the Ripper. How expensive would that be for your State? Maybe a buck or two, maybe a hundred dollars if your state hired an attorney to look at it.

But now you contend that somehow Alaska spent 1.9 million defending totally baseless charges against Palin??????????? If the charges were baseless, there would be no way their defense would be so expensive. And even if the Alaska ethic commission tries to white wash things like troopergate and per diem charges, the Palin ethics stench will never dispel.

I feel like I'm witnessing a repeat of the logic that led lemon to demand that Sarah Palin take a dna test to prove that she's really Trigg's mother.
