Alaska Governor Palin to resign

Levi Johnston talks about Gov. Palin's resignation

According to Levi, Palin's "higher calling" was to make more moola (No, that's not moose burgers...it's slang for money).

By MARY PEMBERTON, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 25 mins ago
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The former fiance of Gov. Sarah Palin's 18-year-old daughter says he believes he knows why the Alaska governor is resigning — concerns over money.

Nineteen-year-old Levi Johnston, whose wedding to Bristol Palin was called off earlier this year, says he thinks the governor is resigning over personal finances.
Johnston says he lived with the Palin family from early December to the second week in January. He claims he heard the governor several times say how nice it would be to take advantage of the lucrative deals that were being offered, deals that included a reality show and a book.

Re: Levi Johnston talks about Gov. Palin's resignation

He's a moron, she resigned because she knew couldn't get any of her goals done thanks to democratic majority in the state legislature.

He is a moron, but since he was pretty close to the family, maybe he's actually telling the truth:dunno: It certainly seems like she's caught up in the money love affair--what with all the shopping she did on the campaign trail. Remember that?

Isn't the Alaskan legislature split? She's really much weaker and immature if she quit her governorship because she didn't have a supermajority to bow to her every whim:rolleyes::dunno:

That's even lamer than simply quitting to cash in...imo.

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
Don't the Republicans still control the legislature in Alaska? :confused:

Yes, it most definitely is.
But can we really be that surprised? After all, it's exemplary of a predictable package of negative characteristics we've seen emerge as typically neo-conservative.
 
So, basically she's no different than she's seemed. Can't say I'm surprised.

What a wonderful world some of you live in where you can substitute whatever you think in place of the facts. Both bodies of the Alaska state legislature are Republican run and it's the smallest state legislature in the country.

If she can't get anything done under THOSE circumstances she is definitely in waaaaay over her head and her quitting is probably in the best interests of Alaskans for sure.

"she resigned because she knew couldn't get any of her goals done"

Whaaaa? That certainly says allot of her character (or lack of character). Certainly presidential material there if you ask me...:rolleyes::1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

He is just a kid. He wasn't running for office. We wouldn't have heard of him if the Governor hadn't dragged him into the limelight. He is a celebrity of her making.

Apparently Joe six pack is allowed to have opinions, he is just not allowed to have them about Mrs Palin.
 
Actually Levi is probably right.This is probably what this was all about,cashin in while the opportunity is there.Actually not a stupid thing for Palin to do.Her political career IMO had its 15 minutes and peaked with her VP pick.She will be unheard of soon so now is the time to take the offers Levi mentions and at least make some dough.

Bet Levi knows a lot he hasn't even said lol.
 
Could this have been the "higher calling" (aka other shoe to drop)??

AP NewsBreak: Palin implicated in ethics probe

AP – FILE - This Feb. 8, 2009 file photo shows Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at the start of the 2009 Iron Dog snow …

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by trading on her position in seeking money for legal fees, in the latest legal distraction for the former vice presidential candidate as she prepares to leave office this week.
The report obtained by The Associated Press says Palin is securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through the Alaska Fund Trust, set up by supporters.

An investigator for the state Personnel Board says in his July 14 report that there is probable cause to believe Palin used or attempted to use her official position for personal gain because she authorized the creation of the trust as the "official" legal defense fund.

The practical effect of the ruling on Palin will be more financial than anything else. The report recommends that Palin refuse to accept payment from the defense fund, and that the complaint be resolved without a formal hearing before the board.

This legal fund seems fraught with unethical slush fund potential. Alaska seems very backward/backwoods. It's a clever strategy by her to claim she was only doing her job and to blame other people for her not being able to "do her job."

How will that fly on the debate trail in 2011/2012?
 
Do you think that now Sarah's political career is fucked, she'd be my sex slave?.
