Palin flip-flopped again when she started making threatening law suit rumblings this weekend. According to the Governor herself on Friday- she is stepping down so that the state of Alaska can stop paying for legal wrangling surrounding her administration- accept just after that she started threatening frivolous law suits against bloggers and media outlets that will certainly take up the time and money of the courts and will be thrown out as clearly protected by the first amendment.
Associated Press - July 5, 2009 6:24 PM ET JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - A blogger who describes herself as "an ordinary American" says she will not be silenced by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. The flap with Shannyn Moore is over remarks the blogger made about why Palin is resigning. Through her lawyer, Palin said she will file a lawsuit against Moore and media outlets that choose to republish like-minded "false and defamatory allegations." Moore came back fighting Sunday. The 39-year-old single mother and housepainter says Palin is a "coward" and a "bully" for threatening to sue her on the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Moore, who was born in Alaska, says she feels it is her right and patriotic duty to hold elected officials accountable and will continue to do so.
So Sarah didn't really mean it when she said she was stepping down to save time and money on legal defense-- as she is certainly willing to spend time and money on defamation suits going forward. hmmm?
If she goes forward- certainly the courts in Alaska and elsewhere will be tied up with this silliness and the time and money that funds those courts comes in large part from the tax payers.
So, Sarah, why did you resign again?
Oh I forgot, GOP hypocrisy is a given.
