Pitiful Palin's Big Publicity Blitz... and another ethics complaint

By GottaLaff

Sarah Pallin creates dust-ups faster than Peanuts' grimy little Pigpen. For what it's worth, Pigpen's a better communicator. He's also a lot cleaner than she is... also:

Complaint says she crossed line between job, self-promotion

As Sarah Palin settles back into her job as the state's chief executive, a new ethics complaint filed Tuesday says she's already improperly mixing her official duties and broader political ambitions.

The charge: That Palin broke state ethics rules by holding national television interviews about her run for vice president from the governor's office.

Oh dear. ::stifling giggle:: This just gets better and better. Looky who's involved! Hint: See last sentence in the following:

The complaint comes as Palin's personal life, her prospects as a future presidential candidate and everything she says and does continues to draw headlines.

Zane Henning, a North Slope worker from Wasilla, said he filed the complaint with the attorney general. He says Palin is promoting her future political career on state property, pointing in particular to the governor's Nov. 10 interview with Fox News Channel host Greta Van Susteren.

Nooooo! Not Faux News' very own Greta Van Susterenenenenenen! Heh... Heehee...chuckle... snort... guffaw! Hahahaaaa!!

The Palin camp, besieged by interview requests, said the governor was no longer a candidate at the time of interviews, but otherwise had little to say about the complaint.

Pallin', however, is so gosh-darned ethical that, well, doggone it, she won't be gettin' back to ya on this one:

"The governor will respect that legal requirement for confidentiality, even if others do not."

Signs of things to come: Hogging the spotlight? Really? Sarah?? No way. Say it ain't so, Pallin'!

Barbara Walters wanted to make Palin one of her "10 most fascinating people." Requests from news media, production companies and agents ring non-stop. They want Palin to sit down for interviews. Or to write a book about her life. Or host a talk show.

Ethics schmethics:

On Nov. 10, Palin appeared with Van Susteren on Fox News, sitting in her government office talking about anonymous accusations from within the McCain campaign on Palin's performance on the trail.

In the clip, now online, Van Susteren welcomes viewers, saying they're about to see Sarah Palin at home and at work.

"Governor, it must be fun to be back in your office here in Anchorage," Van Susteren begins.

It's great, Palin says.

"A lot of work to do, so it's good to be back."

Welcome home.
