Why don't you check your facts before making yourself look like an ass?
Again.
(A charming comment edited out of existence by Bart) Now you're just making yourself look like a petulent ass.
Who still needs to check his facts. This is from Wiki and I'm citing it here because of it's leftish bias. If even Wiki can be fair to Palin then, again, your little tirade is even more so making you look like, well,
you know.

On July 3, 2009, Palin announced that she would not run for re-election in the 2010 Alaska gubernatorial election and would resign before the end of July. In her announcement,[175] Palin stated that both she and the state had been expending an "insane" amount of time and money ($2.5 million)[176] to address "frivolous" ethics complaints filed against her,[176][177][178][175] and that her decision not to seek reelection would make her a lame duck governor.[175] A Palin aide said Palin was "no longer able to do the job she had been elected to do. Essentially, the taxpayers were paying for Sarah to go to work every day and defend herself."[179] Palin and her husband Todd had personally incurred more than $500,000 in legal fees defending against ethics charges brought against her as governor.[176] Palin transferred the office of governor to Sean Parnell in Fairbanks on July 26, 2009.[180]
In December 2010, new rules governing Alaska executive branch ethics, stemming from Sarah Palin's tenure as governor, took effect.[181] "These include allowing for the state to pay legal costs for officials cleared of ethics violations; (and) allowing for a family member of the governor or lieutenant governor to travel at state cost in certain circumstances . . ."[181]
