Irony: Palin Uses Official State Website for Private Rebuttal to Latest Ethics Complaint
PLUS: Did Palin attorney defame an ethics complainant in recent statement?

A brief, two paragraph statement by the private attorney of Alaska's very-soon-to-be-former Gov. Sarah Palin was posted on the governor's official public state website on Monday.

Attributed to "THOMAS VAN FLEIN --- Personal Attorney for Governor Palin", the PDF statement posted to the Governor's officially run state website at www.gov.state.ak.us decries the latest ethics complaint filed against Palin -- alleging the improper disclosure of gifts and the receipt of free services -- as an abuse of the state Ethics Act.

That the official state website would be used to publicize the private response of Palin on Monday to another ethics charge is somewhat ironical, given Tuesday's leak of a preliminary independent report from a state ethics commission investigator finding "probable cause" that Palin's "official" legal defense fund violated the Ethics Act in that it made use of her "official position for personal gain."

3. This is nothing new.

Sarah has repeatedly used the state official website to bash her critics and gloat over dismissed ethics complaints. It's been very unseemly.

She has never been interested in educating herself about laws, rules or regulations. She is the quintessence of a dittohead - the queen of the Grifters.

We are kind because in truth Palin does not believe that the laws apply to her - she's corrupt out of this world.

10. Sarah Palin is irrelevant and becoming less interesting as time goes by
