Ohhhhh Brother No. 26: Palin-"busters" busted

One of the continuing reasons cited for Sarah Palin's resignation was so she could make tons of money, an absurd reason supposedly proven by a recently issued report, as noted in a post at Free Republic.  Looking at the title of the post, however, makes it quite clear who got busted, and it isn't Sarah Palin:

Palin and Supporters Busted - Alaska Offered to Pay Palin Legal Costs

Notice the second half of the title?  They note the state of Alaska offered to foot part of Sarah's legal fees, but who would've paid for it?  The taxpayers of Alaska, of course, and therein lies the real reasons for Sarah's resignation: the continuing filing of ethics violation charges kept distracting the Governor from doing her job, and the cost of the legal battles which ensued would have to be paid for by the taxpayers.  Her resignation enabled Alaska to continue on without the burden of a Governor being deluged with constant legal battles, and (with the formation of her legal fund) spared her constituents having to pay for it.

Of course, try telling that to the Palin-"busters", of which I can only say: Ohhhhh brother!
