The investigation into a California university foundation that hired Sarah Palin to give a speech this summer is politically motivated, critics say.
California Attorney General Jerry Brown's office announced Tuesday it will investigate California State University Stanislaus and its foundation for its handling of a contract related to a $500-per-plate speech Palin will give there in June.
[...]
Bill Whalen, a research fellow who specializes in state and national politics at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, a public policy research center, questioned why Brown is devoting his time to the investigation when it's not clear exactly how the documents were acquired.
[...]
Hamid Shirvani, the university's president, said a portion of the contract between a school foundation and Palin was stolen last week from the office of Susana Gajic-Bruyea, vice president for university advancement.
"Susana threw the pages into her recycling bin in her office some time ago," Shirvani said. "Somebody either broke into her office to get them or it was somebody who had access to her office."
Shirvani has asked police in Turlock, Calif., to investigate the matter.
[...]
"We're getting attacked over political ideology," Shirvani said. "If this was Michael Moore or Al Gore, forget it, nobody would ever ask us about the contract."

"When you say the words Sarah Palin, you know that there's going to be excitement," he told Fox News on Thursday. "But we didn't know we'd have this much excitement."

Moon Beam Jerry is using it to weasel his way into the Cauliphonia governor’s mansion.
Obama can do it, but Palin can’t?
Okie-dokey.
....let them enjoy their future failures as much as they have enjoyed their past.
Damn right, it’s politically motivated.
There’d be NO problem were she a radical Leftist.
Why didn't they know?...LOL.
You're right though, if it was 0 being paid for his umm's, aaaand's and Ughh's, wouldn't be a word said.
And there you have it.
((((( Sarah PING )))))
U of C was the largest contributor to the Obamunist .
You know the “O RLY?” owl? We need a “NO SHYT!” owl.
Isn’t Moonbeam good buddies with serial Palin-basher Michael Weiner (aka Savage)?
California State University Stanislaus students Alicia Lewis, left, and Ashli Briggs, move a cart loaded with documents and shredded papers they say they found on the school's campus that included parts of a speaking contract for former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, after a news conference in Sacramento, Calif.
LOL. No wonder Yee and the others are MAD.
The Left Wing’s goal is to take out Sarah.. Just one more reason I support her.
The Left do not go after the so called first, second and third tier people mentioned to run in 2012.
They are not a threat to Obama as Sarah Palin is.
Brown will investigate a LEGAL contract for Palin at the drop of a hat, but actual evidence of shady dealings at ACORN...yawn.
This ruse was so transparent as to be laughable.
Other than Weiner contributing campaign money to Moonbeam, I have no idea (but Weiner is a fire-breathing conservative, honest!)
Documents they “found”. Kind of like how Sandy Berger “found” some documents inside the National Archives. And I just can’t take a bleached blonde college airhead named “Ashli” serious. Please.
