Palin says winning White House will shield her from ethics charges

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has a new plan for dodging “spurious” ethics charges — if winning the White House is considered a plan.

In an ABC News interview released Tuesday, the onetime Alaska commander-in-chief signaled that if she succeeded in a presidential run, life would get easier.

“I don’t think it will be the day after day after day of ethics violation charges that are frivolous, that are ridiculous,” she quipped. “I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at this, the things we have been charged with, and automatically throw them out, not make somebody hire their own personal attorney to get out there and fight.”

Wrote ABC’s Kate Snow and Rick Klein wryly, “There is no ‘department of law’ at the White House, though Palin appears to have been referring to the White House counsel’s office.”

She could also have been referred to the Justice Department.

Palin also averred that she hadn’t spoken with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in weeks — and that she didn’t inform him in advance of her decision to quit Alaska’s highest elective office.

The governor said she “left him a message a couple of weeks ago” when Exxon announced it had sealed a deal for a pipeline in her state.

“Didn’t tell him I was going to do this, but he is very astute, he is very sharp, he knew too that the distractions in the state — he knows me well enough to know that I am wired to not want to waste any time or any kind of resource,” Palin remarked. “I want to get the job done.”

“I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he knows why I did it, and he knows how much I love Alaska,” she added. “He and probably everybody else gets sick and tired of hearing how much I love Alaska.”

McCain didn’t acknowledge her decision to resign as Alaska’s governor in a statement his office released.

“I have the greatest respect and affection for Sarah, Todd, and their family,” McCain’s statement said. “I was deeply honored to have her as my running mate and believe she will continue to play an important leadership role in the Republican Party and our nation.”

“Palin thanked McCain for his support in a Facebook posting over the weekend,” ABC notes.Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has a new plan for dodging “spurious” ethics charges — if winning the White House is... more

Legal bills swayed Palin, official says

"Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell of Alaska said Sunday that Gov. Sarah Palin’s decision to resign was largely prompted by the personal legal costs of the ethics investigations against her.

Ms. Palin announced on Friday that she would quit her job near the end of the month and turn the reins of state government over to Mr. Parnell, who like the governor is a Republican.

At the news conference, Ms. Palin cited numerous reasons for quitting, including more than $500,000 in legal fees that she and her husband, Todd, have incurred because of 15 ethics complaints filed against her during her two and a half years as governor. She said all of the complaints had been dismissed, but she still had to pay lawyers to defend her.

Mr. Parnell said Ms. Palin called him into her office on Wednesday night to tell him she was resigning.

“I think what I heard from the governor,” Mr. Parnell said on “Fox News Sunday,” “really had to do with the weight on her, the concern she had for the cost of all the ethics investigations and the like — the way that that weighed on her with respect to her inability to just move forward Alaska’s agenda on behalf of Alaskans in the current context of the environment. So that’s what I saw.”

Mr. Parnell, who is scheduled to take over for Ms. Palin on July 26, said it was costing the State of Alaska about $2 million just to pay for the staff to deal with the records requests from the ethics complaints.

“That was just over the top, and I think she used the word insane in her remarks,” Mr. Parnell said.

Ms. Palin, who was Senator John McCain’s running mate on last year’s Republican presidential ticket, is leaving office 18 months before the end of her first term as governor. In her comments on Friday, she acknowledged the toll that the ethics investigations had taken on her and her family.

But in the often-rambling announcement, Ms. Palin also sounded at one point as though she was quitting politics entirely and at another as though she had an eye on higher office, which immediately led to renewed speculation about the possibility of her running for president in 2012. She promised supporters that in the coming days, she would provide details — on her social networking Facebook and Twitter sites — on her reasons for leaving the governorship so abruptly.

In a posting on her Facebook page on Saturday, Ms. Palin appeared to indicate that she would seek a larger, national role — citing what she said was a “higher calling” to push for conservative causes nationally.""Lt.
