When Governor Palin's lawyer issued a public statement that included a specific cease and desist order, I told the Judge that by dark thirty today there will be two classes of people. The smart ones who talk to a lawyer and make sure of what they can and cannot publish - and the dumb ones who did not.
For a quick recap, ever since Palin's run for Veep she's been plagued by ethics complaints. Almost all have been baseless, although she took the cheap way out and paid her children's travel expenses. But it costs an Alaskan Democrook de nada to file an ethics complaint and it costs Palin an exorbitant amount to challenge it. Reportedly, well over a half million so far with no end in sight.
In addition, a few locals with a grudge keep feeding malicious stories to the pro-crime leftist media. Who are scared white of the lady, so they are more than eager to parrot any juicy tidbit they obtain from a facticidal rabiator.
Resigning takes the ethics complaint load off the Governor. And she gets a lot of protection from the libel laws. As well as from being a plain private citizen. Fiction suddenly gets very expensive. Those who miss the 24 hour deadline implicit in a lawyers cease-and-desist are very likely to be handing the papers to whatever they own over to Governor Palin.
Considering the grief the media has given her, I cannot think of a more deserving person to be the beneficiary. Or one who will be better equipped to set a new course.
Now, we shall see what we shall see. But from what I can see - and what her neighbors say - she's a hunter, with all that implies. Her enemies have given the Governor's lawyers a great deal to work with. And some are unwise enough to ignore a timely warning.
