The Democrats, the party of lawyers, get to attack her for free (pro bono).
Governor Palin, a member of the GOP, the party of business people, must pay her legal bills with real money which somebody actually EARNED.
It is an evil and egregious tactic of the New Left.
Maryland has been a test state for many of the attack methods of the New Left. We had a Republican governor (not too conservative - but we are a seriously Blue state) for 4 years. Both Dem-controlled Houses of the Legislature were not content with stymieing his every initiative, they developed ‘panels’ to attack his motives and his authority to do ANYTHING. The Baltimore Sun and the Washington Post were relentless in condemning his actions for the whole four years.
Now this method has gone National. Sarah has experienced it, and I am glad that she has told the voters of Alaska to do without her.
