DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION! Palin: Non-Existent "Department Of Law" Protects The President
Palin: Non-Existent "Department Of Law" Protects The President



Sarah Palin and her defenders have cited numerous ethics complaints against the Alaska governor as a practical reason for her resignation. Fighting the claims, Palin told the Anchorage Daily News Monday, was immobilizing her: "I'm not going to let Alaskans go through a year of stymied, paralyzed administration and not getting anything done."

Naturally, skeptical observers have wondered how Palin would handle being president if some ethics complaints are enough to make her unable to run a state. Palin's answer: if she was president, the Department of Law would protect her.

Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.

"I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.

There is no Department of Law.

14. Well, whatever she meant..
This is just bone-stupid! Look at Clinton. The press, the pundits, the RW, hounded him, mercilessly, for a year or more, over Lewinsky. And he didn't pull the drama-queen thing and quit his job because of it.

Palin is so thin-skinned, she made a big hoo-hah over a rather tasteless joke made by David Letterman. What a weenie!

As Cynthia Tucker said on Stephanopoulous' show on Sunday, if Palin wants "peace" as she allegedly told a friend, she's not going to find it on the campaign trail, nor in the Oval Office.


Idiot!

2. And this is the person
That McCain picked to be one step away from the "football"? The man is definitely losing it, as are the Republicans, or those "Real Americans" as Mika said this morning.

3. Just when I though she couldn't be any more stupid...
There is that "fake" IQ test score floating around the inter-tubes that shows her IQ as 83.

That may actually not be all that far off.

8. Those numbers may be inversed.
To call her dumb as a bag of hammers would be an insult to hammers and bags.

9. She is proof of that old sayin
better to remain silent and let people think you are fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

16. She is the clear exception to the Peter Principle.
She is perhaps dozens of levels beyond her competency.

12. 'Splain sompin' to me. Does this Department of Law fight evildoers or wrongdoers?
And who runs it, Perry Mason?

15. Alaska DOES have a Department of Law.
The US doesn't. And she wanted to be president...

17. Without looking it up... let me guess.
It has nothing to do with protecting the governor from ethics investigations.

18. Isn't she precious?
She's just so adorable and folksy.

What really kills me is that her hardcore supporters will brush off this further example of how totally clueless and unqualified she is by saying "you know what she meant".
