More than 17,000 records were released Thursday that detail Sarah Palin's inability to govern under scrutiny after losing the GOP nomination with John McCain in 2008. She wrote "I can't take it anymore" before resigning her post as Governor of Alaska amid many ethics investigations.
The records have been released 3 1/2 years AFTER the initial request. Why did it take so long?
In the emails, Sarah is crying about having to pay for her own legal defense that totaled more than $500,000. She also claims in the emails that she is a target of "many frivolous suits and charges since the DAY I became VP candidate. I can't afford this job." Poor Sarah.
The records show that she was absent from work 94 days in 2008. Who was running the state of Alaska? Her work ethic rivals that of George W. Bush. She would probably take that as a compliment because her intelligence also rivals his.
She wrote "Unflippinbelievable... I'm sending this because you can relate to the bullcrap continuation of the hell these people put the family through" to two of her aides. Is that proper behavior for a Governor? A Vice President of America?
It is clear after reading about these emails that she never had any intention of running for President on the GOP ticket. She is simply milking as much money out of her followers as she can. If her fans knew this, would they still show up to hear her speak, buy her books, listen to her blubbering on Fox News?
One thing to be grateful for, Sarah Palin has no intentions of getting near the White House. That will save tax payers many millions of dollars in investigations that would have occurred if someone as unethical as her held such a prestigious position in government.
She truly will stop at nothing, even going so far as to divorce her husband to avoid being found guilty of any impropriety. In her email entitled "Marital Problems," she wrote ""So speaking of... If we, er, when we get a divorce, does that quell 'conflict of interest' accusations about BP?"
It is scary to think what she may have done as VP of the United States. But she sure is pretty, ain't she?

And, sharp as Hell.
We don't know what was happening with her Marriage. She was handling the Governorship quite well. And, what business is it of ours? She was being harassed by Assfaces in an effort to Bankrupt her. External pressures can make us do many things.
"She would be single, and you could take your shot at being her new man! ;)" - Lora
Laughs! Well, actually, Lora...she could take her shot at being my Woman. ;)
Bachmann passed Palin in intellect at about second grade. I don't think Palin made it past middle-school.
If there were a contest between Palin and Bachmann as to who was the smartest it would be the very definition of a turtle derby. They would give the SNL parody a run for its money if they were ever on Jeopardy.
You must be referring to Sarah! ;)
par4t of it, is not knowing the difference between tina fey saying something, and sarah saying it - as well as immediate condemnation of one who does not 'seem' intellectual.
add to that the incredibly poor decision to judge by sheepskins, and not actual intelligince (as you said - wisdom).
does you head hurt yet? those brick walls can be a bugger.
Even though this post is about a different topic regarding Palin -- funny how everyone zero'd in on only the last line and the conversation is again dominated by her lack of brains and her raving beauty. Shows how shallow conservative men are.
was simply pointing out to a relative newcomer, that i for one, am not going to debate the nonsense again.
The closest she came to running out corrupt politicians was when she resigned.
Yeah, right. What if McCain had won and Sarah just "lost interest" in being VP of the United States. She cannot even begin to comprehend what it means to hold any elected office in this country. She thought being Governor of Alaska was going to another way for her to prance around looking like a beauty queen -- when she figured out there was work involved, she stammered and cried and resigned.
She could no longer afford to defend herself. That is a perfect example of how the Left uses any means, including the Courts, to destroy those they abhor.
If she were your Commander-in-Chief would she run and hide when foreign enemies targetted her with "baseless allegations".
Sheesh! Give your head a shake.
Check that...she's got Integrity.
If ANYONE had treated a liberal Democrat that way you would all have been rioting in the streets. We chalk it up to stupidity. Sarah did the right thing, thinking about Alaska and her family. But y'all wouldn't understand that one bit with an elitist president who thinks only of himself and once in a while of someone who will contribute to his campaign or vote for him.
So the question is "Why all the hate for a white housewife from Alaska?"
And don't say it was because she quit being Govenor or because she did something after the 2008 Election. You in the ugly bunch were hating on her from the minute she was introduced as VP candidate.
The contempt shown by the Republicans for their expectation that her glaring lack of qualifications or ability to bring to one of the highest public offices was, itself, worthy of contempt.
Palin elicits no warm feelings from progressives who see her as petty and vindictive in the way she seemed to operate in Alaska and Wasilla. But rather than being the target of hatred she was the target of mockery.
Cruel? Sure. But that's how it is when you play in the big leagues.
Just look at the slanderous way conservatives have treated Obama.
You've got to be kidding me. Politics requires a tough skin. Obama (and last Democrat in office before him) are/were BOTH being harassed on a daily basis for things that have nothing to do with their job, but rather personal attacks from the "Republican machine"
Palin has not had anything like the kind of vitriol directed at Barack Obama to contend with. No one is challenging her nationality or religion. No one is accusing her of being an ally of foreign enemies or subservient to foreign monarchs. No one calls her by alternate names like they do with Obama.
Republicans always have a persecution complex.
No, I wouldn't vote for her. But she's not running. She's not close to running. But see so much of a hair of her and the libs start blasting like Elmer Fudd. It's irrational.
She's held EXECUTIVE Positions; Mayor, and Governor of a State. Obama posted handbills.
What have you got, genius?
Probably the same bunch of dim-wits that are screaming that it's Obama's fault that gas is so high.
FACT: Gas was HIGHER in the summer of 2008 than it is right now. Obama was not President then.
FACT: It doesn't matter who is President, gas prices will rise and fall.
Conservatives need more of a history lesson. I think the conservative mind must only go back about a week or two at a time, then it wipes clean again and gets refilled courtesy of Fox News (with Sarah Palin commentating, of course)
"Lower IQ's "that" she does? Thanks, Lora.
THESE are the kinds of people Palin appeals to.
There's absolutely NOTHING I would quote Sarah Palin on that was not meant to be a joke.
