Nasty, "get Palin" rumors abound in leftist circles.
http://www.adn.com/palin/story/853746.html They've resurfaced on many Web sites this weekend following her abrupt announcement she will resign from office in three weeks.

Gov. Sarah Palin's personal attorney issued a statement Saturday denouncing rumors that Palin resigned because she is under criminal investigation and threatening legal action for publishing "defamatory" material about the governor. "I can say definitively I am aware of no criminal investigation whatsoever involving Sarah Palin. Zero," Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, said in a phone interview as he attended the Fourth of July festivities on the Delaney Park Strip in Anchorage.

Earlier in the day, Palin's personal spokeswoman, Meg Stapleton, sent out a statement from Van Flein attacking "false and defamatory allegations that the 'real' reasons for Governor Palin's resignation stem from an alleged criminal investigation pertaining to the construction of the Wasilla Sports Complex."
Rumors that Palin steered contracts for the 2003 construction of the Wasilla Sports Complex before leaving office as Wasilla mayor the previous fall, in return for work building her home about the same time, have been around at least since the vice presidential campaign last fall.

Van Flein wrote in his Saturday letter that the Palin family built the Lake Lucille house using Palin's husband, Todd, as general contractor. It said Todd "is no stranger to construction."
"The Palins used a combination of personal savings, equity from the sale of their private home, and conventional bank financing to build the house, like millions of American families" Van Flein wrote.
IMO, I think George W. took a lot more heat throughout his time in offce, than did Palin. Palin's family has received unprecedented attack, IMO. The Letterman flap of a couple of weeks ago is notable and may have been the final straw for Palin, IMO.
Politics is dirty business. Given that women have different traits and habits than men, it may seem sexist, when controversial comments arise, but perhaps the comments are more political than, sexist, or even personal, IMO.
Given how little has been said about Obama, and even Biden, when an abundance of material is available on them, indicates the great leftist political bias that exists in our mass media, IMO.
