>>The 18 ethics charges<<

Palin's major expense came in fighting just one ethics complaint, the Troopergate situation. Instead of delivering the open government she had promised, she lawyered up and spent huge sums out of her own pocket trying to suppress this case. It destroyed her political coalition and help tip her governorship into serious dysfunction.

Once the ankle biters saw how easy it was to tie her up in knots, they made sport out of socking her with additional ethics complaints. She's an easy target for this sort of thing because of the secretive way she governs and the pugilistic way she reacts. They also found they can really push her buttons by Photoshopping that cute picture of her holding little baby Trig. Sarah's people read the lefty blogs and report back to her, provoking the desired ballistic reactions.

The ankle biters now despair Sarah's departure from the scene, hoping against hope that she will please, please sue them and/or run for prez in 2012. Our incoming governor is a bland low-key guy who is said to "put the lack in lackluster." They won't have much fun with him, so I expect that the ethics stuff will finally die down.
