Palin could take a few lessons from the Clintons.

Really underscores why she needed to resign. These bogus ethics complaints are designed to ruin her family financially. BTW regardless of what the AK law does or doesn't say there is nothing really unethical about legal trust funds.

Alaska lawmakers may need to create a law that reimburses public officials for legal expenses to defend complaints that end up being unfounded. ... ... John Coale, a Washington lawyer who helped set up the fund, called the probable cause finding "crazy," adding that if upheld, it would mean that no governor could ever defend themselves against frivolous ethics complaints. I don't see how we can expect to get good politicians if this is how we are going to treat them. Bill Clinton got away with loads of crap and wound up making millions off his offices. Somebody should investigate that.
