This horse has been beat to death! You respond by reading her book, wherein she explains it. Botton line - she was putting her State ahead of herself in that decision. ..... JaguarXKE
That's right, Puppage.
Sometimes, you have to do the right thing. Sometimes, you have to put your duty to your State ahead of yourself.
And sometimes .....
If that allows you to start hauling in the BIG BUCKS with $100,000 per pop speeches and with Reality TV shows ......
Well, what I can say?
Sometimes you just have to suck it up and make the sacrifice.
April 15, 2010 ... Sarah Palin income 12 million dollars since leaving office
Now, getting back to seriousness:
Did Bill Clinton quit?
No, he stuck it out and his legal issues paled in comparison to Palin's
So, what lesson did Sarah Palin teach the filers of nuisance lawsuits?
"If you want to get rid of a Governor of Alaska that you do not like, BLACKMAIL WORKS!"
Why do the Somali pirates now avoid U.S. ships and Russian ships?
Because the U.S. and Russia have shown the pirates that they do not give in to blackmail.
Why are all other ships fair game for the Somali pirates?
Because other nations surrender to blackmail. .... Like Sarah Palin surrendered to blackmail.
Those who believe that Sarah Palin can do no wrong will make excuses that it was noble for Sarah Palin to surrender to blackmail instead of drawing a line in the sand and stating: "The Governor of Alaska does NOT run away when faced with blackmail. Not now. Not EVER!"
Sarah Palin took the easy way out because is was more painful to fight and because she wanted to cash in on the millions of dollars that were out there for her taking before her fame grew dim while governing instead of starring in Reality TV shows and grabbing headlines with $100,000 per pop speeches.
In the end, the lure of millions of dollars of personal wealth was a lot more attractive to Sarah Palin than the admitedly hard sacrifice of standing and fighting off every single last blackmailer.
It is a lot easier and vastly more profitable to make millions of dollars starring in silly Reality TV shows, camping with tabloid queen Kate Gosselin, than to stand up against the blackmailers of the Office of the Governor of the State of Alaska.
