I agree. Her lawyer is the one to listen to.
Her lawyer Robert Barnett told the publication, “Many individuals and entities have expressed strong interest in Governor Palin. To date, she has not spoken with any of them, negotiated with any of them or made deals with any of them.”
And like all lawyer statements it says nothing. It does not say he are some appointed representative have not attempted to speak with. It says she.
Because lawyers never lie. /s
I believe it, primarily because Clear Channel didn't put out a statement denying it. This is material in two ways. First, if Palin isn't shopping herself, then Clear Channel wouldn't want this rumor to stand because they wouldn't want to alienate potential talent. Second, if they didn't care about alienating this particular talent, or if they'd already said, "No thanks", then they'd just let the rumor stand without comment. That's just how things work in the world of "big media".
