The irony for me is that Alaska is the most Marxist and Socialist state there is, they tax the hell out of oil companies and as I understand it every Alskan gets a government check every year.

$22,400 for a family of 7, like Palin's. When oil companies pay taxes to Alaska, they deduct it from their federal taxes, and we of the other 49 make up the difference. 85% of budget from oil companies; residents pay no income or sales taxes, and state is rolling in dough, while most states are laying off teachers.
How ironic, when an Alaska Republican opposes a windfall profits tax, and favor reduced government services - when they live, in part, off of government handouts from revenue the oil industry pays them to get oil to us!
Well a lot of people pinned their hopes on her and since they failed, their anger has been directed at her, naturally.

No comment on whether it is deserved or not from me though.

Could this have been why? It seems kind of lower on the political scandal scale.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by trading on her position in seeking money for legal fees, in the latest legal distraction for the former vice presidential candidate as she prepares to leave office this week.

The report obtained by The Associated Press says Palin is securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through the Alaska Fund Trust, set up by supporters.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't this more or less the same crap Illinois State Governor Rod Blagojevish tried to pull?
