"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 ."
... But as I read this, it just sounds like yet another in a long string of ethical complaints against Palin. Surely it would be not more than a nuisance to someone who has battled in the public spotlight for a while. This can't be the big scandal on the horizon that may have prompted her to quit.
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. The full story will probably emerge as she withdraws from Alaskan government.

Back in September 2008, we saw her wagging her finger that Hillary Clinton, that Hillary should not whine about tough media coverage, she was not doing women any good, she should just plow through it, she should have known what she was getting into and should just try harder and prove herself. “WOW”, I guess she loves measuring others by standards that she does not follow. What a hypocrite, but expected from most political false prophets types. Now we see that she attempted used her official position for personal gain, this is too sweet. Thank you Sarah, great job.
