They don't call Sarah Palin the Thrilla from Wasilla for nothing.
After months of buildup, including investigations, outrage and celebration, the former Alaska governor's trip to California's farm belt over the weekend proved beyond a doubt that she delivers - for Republicans and Democrats.
State Attorney General Jerry Brown probably will be grateful that he was the focus of the 2008 vice presidential candidate's barbed criticism as he investigates her compensation from the Cal State University Stanislaus Foundation for her speech Friday night at the nonprofit's 50th anniversary event at the Turlock (Stanislaus County) campus.
Brown's office is looking at whether the campus foundation violated state public disclosure laws by refusing to make public the terms of Palin's contract for her appearance.
In her speech, Palin quipped of Brown: "This is California. Do you really not have anything better to do?"
The Democratic gubernatorial candidate's response: "I don't think she understands the process. It's about the operation of the foundation to see if they handled things professionally."
But his team clearly relishes Palin's challenges, having used her last attack - on a recent cable TV show - as the basis for an effort to motivate donors to pump up his campaign war chest.
And incumbent U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, in the midst of a combative re-election campaign, announced last week that she would "honor" Palin's visit to California by reminding voters of her endorsement of Republican Carly Fiorina, Boxer's rival in the November election.

These a$$hats attack whenever, wherever they can to confuse, obfuscate, and deflect attention to their own inadequacies.
One could just as easily make the same remark about the WH Administration re: Arizona.....”do you REALLY not have anything better to do?”
Hey goofball, maybe it is you who doesn't understand the process. It should be to see if things were handled legally.
Note the Attorney General's use of the word "Professionally", instead of "legally". That's because the "PROCESS" is to use the Attorney General's office "politically".
A Democrat "code word" for "it might influence the electorate to not vote for Democrats".
And I'm sure they do this religiously to every Democrat speaker as well. (end dripping sarcasm)
So having a couple of college twits dig through the Foundation's dumpster to fish out excerpts of a draft contract for Brown is professional?
The foundation raises and solicits money to help fund the university. Palin’s speech is providing a couple of hundred thousand dollars the bankrupt state treasury won't have to pay. That's how the operation works, numbnuts.
If I were Jerry Brown, with Jerry Brown’s political history, I’d want to talk about Meg Whitman’s voting record and Sarah Palin’s speaking engagements too. I’d actually like to hear him on tape, on record, saying about his first two terms as governor: “It was the wrong thing to do.”
Alright!
