Unintended consequences. They tried to squish her like a bug, but instead turned her into a 50 foot woman.
Now, they're flopping around like fish out of water. They can't touch her.
True. If she had been allowed to just go back to Alaska, do her job and they had ignored her it would have been one thing, but instead the media went after her every sneeze and bloggers went after her every move with a vengence and filed all those bogus ethics complaints and all it did was build her up when they were trying desperately to marginalize her... Big A$$ed Mistake!!
They've already thrown everything they have.
She's now scandal-inoculated.
It'll be the arena of ideas where this one gets settled.
