More fodder for those snobby, secular East Coast elites in New York and Washington who passed 3rd grade history.
Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.
"I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we’ve been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.
Palin not only slept through civics, as Christy pointed out, she must’ve been unconscious during the entire 1990s as well.
In another genius interview with Andrea Mitchell (at right), Palin claims multiple times that the "frivolous" ethics complaints against her cost Alaska "millions of dollars."

Hey,
I want me one of them there “departments of law” too, specially if it’s automatic ! Just throws things out…don’t be so hard on the women .
I liked it when she said she wasn’t a quitter, as she quits her job as Gov. Really?
Keep talkin’ Sarah! We need to hear more of your awesome grasp of the world! (At least comedians and KO and Rachel do. Can’t wait for Countdown tonight.)
I’m starting to think that she may be better off if she runs into legal issues as the actual reason she is Bailing (Palin), it would make more sense then the nonsense she keeps spouting.
She never quit quitting.
Remember, “cowards cut and run…”
Hey at least she didn’t disappear for a week to rendezvous with a Latin lover.
By Republican governor standards, she’s doing pretty good just cutting and running.
Well, when you *really* take a close look at that statement, she’s pretty much on target……..based on the eight years of the bush/cheeeeeeeney administration. ;-(
She’s been seein’ Joe the Not Plumber on the side. He makes house calls.
I can’t help but think that she’s got a computer that uses random talking point phrases tacked together to write her speeches. I just find it almost impossible to listen to her blather.
Anyway re: her resignation, I have to believe that there’s something there that was fixin’ to come out.
I can’t imagine staying through what she’s been through after going through the relatively nasty election that she won to get the governorship and her VP process and the many months following that just to up & quit at this point.
Her skin is a LITTLE thin, but its plenty tough enough to handle the heat she’s getting now. The nonsense about being a “lame duck” is just that. The only possible reason for her to be a lame duck is that she doesn’t think she can win re-election and won’t try.
I can’t put any credence into her rationalizing, and therefore I call B.S. on it. There’s something fecal out there that she thinks is about to hit the oscillator.
Between a department of law to insulate the president and a VP to run the senate being president should be a pretty good gig. Does it come with some special coupons for Neiman Marcus?
She’s her own “special needs child.”
The Alaska Department of Stupid must be on a nation-wide search for a new chairperson.
I totally agree, she was/ is just a tad frantic for the future she wants to pursue, kinda like the knock on the door when you’re trying to burn the files.
Don’t blame Sarah; she gets all her legal and political advice from Joe the plumber!
Wow, that interview was hard to watch. How can a grown woman elected to public office be so stupid?
Mitchell: Did you not want to do the hard work? Palin: I am working hard here fishing. Mitchell: No i mean the state work in Juno, you know the job you actually get paid to do.
Someone needs to remind Sarah that it was a bullshit lawsuit that the Supremes allowed that brought about all things Monica
Please don’t do that.
You know there’s some McCain campaign staffer who needs a very stiff drink right now. I imagine he wants to tell a story like this: It’s 2008, during the cram sessions. Palin asks the staffer, “Will there be something like Cheney has now? To basically do anything and get away with it?” The staffer thinks she’s joking and says, “Oh yeah! We’ve got a whole legal department working on that!”
