GOP watch: Palin's illegal defense fund

"A legal defense fund set up for Sarah Palin when she was Alaska governor was illegal, an investigator for the state Personnel Board said Thursday," the New York Daily News writes. That said, the investigator "found that Palin ... acted in good faith and relied on a team of attorneys to make sure the fund was lawful."

Judiciary ranking Republican Jeff Sessions is leaving the filibuster option on the table when it comes to Elena Kagan's confirmation. Mitch McConnell has said the same.

"Prescott S. Bush Jr., brother to one U.S. president and uncle to another, has died after a long illness, according to his family. He was 87."

How many law schools did those attorneys attend before they obtained their degrees?

    None. Mail order. That's how I got mine, anyway.

      Everything about Sinister Sarah Palin is illegal. Just goes to show that Sinner Sarah always tries to do illegal things to further her own goals. Sinister Sarah is a walking talking ethics violation. Maybe next time she won't trust deadbeat ambulance chasing conservative lawyers to give her prudent advice, she'd better seek professional help from Liberal lawyers.

      Why should she, Eric? She just got away with it. Again.

        Anna Molly-

        Perhaps you can explain the inexplicable to me. I simply cannot understand the left's blind, unreasoning fury towards Sarah Palin. I'm not talking about the criticism she's subjected to for being unqualified as a candidate for VP...that's legitimate and justifiable.

        But there's something more going on with the hostility to Sarah Palin...and I'm not getting it.

        On the one hand, she's dismissed as irrelevant, and one and all are urged to ignore her because, after all, we devote way too much time to her ridiculous views on any number of various topics.

        Yet incredibly, people like Chris Matthews, Ed Schultz, and others instantly report on her every Facebook musing, her most off-hand remark on this-or-that relatively unimportant subject.

        Their sycophants, like Eric here, then mindlessly parrot what they've seen and heard in MSNBC's blanket, wall-to-wall coverage of the words and actions of Sarah Palin...while at the same time assuring one and all of how not-to-be-taken-seriously Palin is.

        In case you've missed it...that's a glaring contradiction.

        Why are they so dismissive, and at the same time, so threatened by her?

        Why don't they all just shut up about Palin?

        They're the ones providing her the platform for the dissemination of her political philosophy...

        Can you explain?

        And, as always...please don't hit me.

            "Auntie Facsist", huh...yeah, that's impressive. I'll get a grip Auntie, and maybe you should slack up on the Kool Aid. And by the way, when you people really find that scandal of Palin's that you seem so determined to find, you can turn your attention to helping OJ find the real killers. Try googling "Emmanuel Blagojevich:"

            Ooh. I alway enjoy gripping dialogue.

            But I do agree with you about the GOP Watch. Sheesh. Who WOULD, anyway?

              It's either her attorney's fault, the media's fault, or the Democrat's fault - NEVER she own! This money-hungry woman will say and do anything to get lots of money - legally or illegally. Once all of Palin's followers realize that all Palin wants is their money, let's hope that she gathers up all her millions, crawls under a rock somewhere far away, and leaves us alone. Who I really feel sorry for are her "prop" kids...ya know, having them walk across the stage with her all over the country, then Palin screams at the media for covering her kids. This woman is a true disgrace as a female, USA citizen, and human being.
