...After all the vitriolic abuse, she's growing on me![]()

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

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

AP NewsBreak: Palin implicated in ethics probe

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.
How will that fly on the debate trail in 2011/2012?
