Sarah Palin, Mired in Debt, Whines, Begs for Donations
Sarah Palin has over half a million dollars in legal debt, and she’s whining about it. Everyone is out to get her, evidently. Now she’s thinking of starting a legal defense fund, where she will beg people to donate to help her out. Meanwhile she is not accepting stimulus package money that will help Alaskans with their troubles.

1. Here's My Donation, Sarah
Plead diminished capacity. It's the truth, after all.

8. She probably
had to return them to the RNC. Those Saks bootstraps are expensive.

9. How do you run up half a mil in legal fees
in 3 months? One lawyer full time is 500 hours in that period. At $250 per hour that is four full time lawyers. Sounds like Sarah was ripped off.

11. Welcome to the real world, say-rah
The world where everyone is in debt and doesn't have enought money.

And the world where per-diems have to be legitimate.

It's cold out here, isn't it?

13. Palin should stick to being a governor
I read a poll in which she trails Obama by 20%.
20%! for the next Presidential elections. Not exactly a good omen for her.

16. It is nice to see
the public is still sane, but how did she get so many positives?

17. Thanks!
It's actually scary that so many would vote for Failin.

I would think it would be no more than the usual 20% dead-enders. :wtf:

19. She will have a public discussion about accepting the
stimulus money. No need to spread rumors/lies about her as it makes Democrats look stupid. Leave that to the repugs.

21. She needs to get on religious teevee and make her plea...
Edited on Sun Mar-22-09 07:33 PM by burning rain
Talk about how God's given her a burden and she's doing her best to bear it, but it's so hard on her family, and she worries about them. And it's about America -- I know times are hard but any small sum you can send to help me stand up to the homosexuals and the abortionists will be so appreciated. Come on, Sarah, you were a Pentecostal -- you're a natural for this. Hell, talk about demons and spiritual warfare if you have to.

23. She doesn't qualify for religious TV
I mean, she hasn't had a gay affair with a rent boy yet, has she?

22. Poor Sarah
This is political assassination by Obama :cry: How can he do this to her? She's a "mother" of a special needs child too.

24. Who'd a thunk it. Legal defense is expensive.
Read this as "Hey Big Corporate Interests!, Governor influence for sale!"

25.  Poor Sarah maybe she should sell that house on the lake to pay off the debt!
After all did not Todd brag to Faux New's Gretta Van Sustern how he had his "Contractor Buddies" help him build it. The same contractors who were building the Wassilla Sports Complex that put the city in the red by $20Million as the cost over ran the budget for it and they built on property not owned by the city! After all the Senator Stevens from Alaska was her mentor and he was found guilty in court for illegal donations by contractors also did he not? That is one crime, gifts of labor and supplies to build the then Mayors house, by the same contractors given lucrative contracts the city could not afford! I wonder how much of the cost overruns were for her house? That has yet to be investigated and if it ever is she will need more dough to defend that too! Maybe she should get that witch doctor exorcist who prayed over her to say a prayer to excise those lawyers bills too! ROTFLMAO

27. Being so callous
is the price of admission to the Republican Party. Also begging for money is a price.
