Sarah Palin Emails Reveal Her Strong Desire To Leave Office: ‘I Can’t Take It Anymore’

» 399 comments

The final batch of emails released Thursday — and yes, we’re still peering through her emails — reveal how badly Sarah Palin wanted out of her position as Alaska’s governor — months before she actually stepped down in June 2009.

“I can’t take it anymore,” she told her husband Todd. She also wrote, “I can’t afford this job.” According to the Associated Press, Palin “complained to spokeswoman Sharon Leighow and aide Kris Perry in March that she had been the target of ‘many frivolous suits and charges since the DAY I became VP candidate.’”

She was also unhappy about having to foot the bill for her legal expenses resulting from ethics complaints:

We’ve all had to pay for our OWN legal defense in this political bloodsport — it’s horrendous — why do you think Todd is on the slope today? [...] I am paying to defend in my capacity as GOVERNOR — actions taken in my official position. This is unheard of anywhere else.

It’s evident Palin was fed up with the scrutiny and frustrated by the financial toll of dealing with the ethics claims. The emails further show how her job had also affected her marriage. From the AP:

In a Sept. 26, 2007, email to Kris Perry and her husband Todd, titled “Marital Problems,” Palin writes: “So speaking of… If we, er, when we get a divorce, does that quell “conflict of interest” accusations about BP?” Her husband was a former BP employee on the North Slope.

Palin, of course, never had to deal with the aftermath of a divorce.

    What an amazing coincidence. I’ve also sent many emails revealing my strong desire for Palin to leave office.

    “The emails illustrate what Palin has said all along:”

    OMFG. You are kidding me, right? The “marital problems” email was a joke for crying out loud.

    A more accurate headline would be “Palin emails show her extreme frustration with the ethics complaints against her.”

    Palin isn’t even running and there is still this intense scrutiny from the liberal media, including Mediaite. Its a shame this wasn’t done with Obama’s records otherwise America would be in better shape than it is today.

    Then DO NOT pretend to be thinking about running for president. Maybe think about dog catcher or something more interesting to you.

    Yeah!  She’s been trying so hard to keep out of the public eye since leaving office, you’d never catch her doing bus tours, giving speeches at conferences, appearing as a right wing commentator on TV or saying she’d consider running for president should the Republicans have a brokered convention.

    Palin never had to pay for those law suits. She had her supporters pay for them by creating a way to donate to a set-up account for it.

    Palin was in over her head when she was mayor of the hick town.

  • Ben Dover

     I don’t think ANYONE was worried about her taking O’s job away.  I think most people were thinking that the Alaskan Loon was seriously damaging the GOP’s ability to find a quality candidate to run against Obama.  “Ima run….mebbe not….we’ll see…well if you beg…Ima be coy….please beg me…..I don’t want it….let me test the waters….(please let them call my name on the second ballot)…..I am the brains of the party (you should beg me)….and on and on…  the amount of damage Sarah has done to the GOP amongst “severely moderate’ Republicans far outweighs any good she might have done.

    Don’t get me started on Sarah’s inadequacies, both private and professional.

    This “private citizen”is a media hound.  She craves the attention.

    If she is going to make commentary on Fox News and other right wing outfits, we have every right to criticize her as well.  She may be a “private citizen,” but she is most definitely in the public spotlight.

    The woman is dangerous; she is a loon.  If she couldn’t take her job as governor, how in the world would she be able to take a job as VP or even POTUS? 

    And, if you are saying that Palin “isn’t taking his job away…..just calling him out….”, then this line of thinking should apply to those liberal, private citizens that you hate because all they are doing is pointing out the inadequacies, the foolishness, the clownery, the tomfoolery, and the hatred spread by the GOP nuts out there.

    This is the democratic machine in action. They sent there democrat operatives up to Alaska and filed frivoulous ethics charges against her to basically to ruin her financially and it friggin succeeded. All of us would have stepped down if it was bankrupting our family. This is the democrat way, attack attack attack until you ruin you opposition because you disagree with their political views. Way to go Democrats you should be so proud!

    It is a hick town.  At least it is a very small town which requires little skill to run it. 

    I grew up in a town of about 48,000 people.  I currently live in a town of about 16,000 people.  Neither one, especially the current one I live in, would I consider to be a “hick town.”  Yet these towns are nothing in size like Manhattan. 

    So, you wrong in your assessment.

    Peppy…..I agree 100%.  Sorry if you thought my comment was a “defense” of Palin.  This woman is a horrible human being who cannot lead a small town or a big town, much less this country.  I was responding to goldwater who thought it was snobbery calling Wasilla a “hick town” because if it wasn’t a Manhattan or Martha’s Vineyard, then it’s “hick” in the minds of liberals.  Absolutely not true.

    I never have liked this woman; I have always despised her; as you say, she “lacks character, fortitude, and intellectual capacity to serve…..”  You have no argument at all from me on this one.  No ifs, ands, or buts about it.  I could go on and on about how horrible she is.

    Gee, saw the same words on Huffington Post this morning…    Sarah Palin had made no secret publicly that it was becoming untenable to defend her actions as a standing governor in her official capacity using her own money (which she didn’t have).  The liberal activists were well supported and encouraged to file complaint after complaint after complaint – nearly all of which was frivolous but Alaska laws didn’t allow her to sue the complainers for cost, couldn’t stop the flood of new complaints, had no choice but to respond, and couldn’t get reimbursed from the state.  In other words, had she continued in her term she would have been put into bankruptcy, and also since she was suddenly toxic (once selected as VP nominee) to the same Democrats she’d worked well with before she now wouldn’t have been able (or have time) to get anything done as Governor.

    She became Governor by taking down a corrupt administration, and herself was taken down by a corrupt group of far left activists. So far there’s no bombshell in the emails and no hint of wrongdoing – just like all the others already released. This was liberal bullying, pure and simple.

    You sure have a funny definition of “stuck.”  

    “Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday.”
    [...]

    Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report to a bipartisan panel that looked into the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain.

    [...]

    Branchflower said Palin violated a statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.  Lawmakers don’t have the authority to sanction her for such a violation, and they gave no indication they would take any action against her.”http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27105917/ns/politics-decision_08/t/ethics-investigation-finds-palin-abused-power/

    I have never been to Alaska, although I would like to go.  It is a great state, full of natural wonders and beauty. 

    However, I am quite sure there are “hick” towns in that state, as there are in all other states.  From what I have seen of Wasilla, I would probably classify that as a “hick” town…..not because it’s small, but because of what I have seen of it.  If the Palins (and Levi Johnston) represent the best of that town, God help it.

    I should also point out that Alaska is one of the top states for meth production and usage, along with Missouri, the state that I live  in.

    You haters are the same far left type of kooks who said similar things (excepts looks) about Margaret Thatcher, arguably one of the best British PMs since Churchill, which if he were alive you’d also hate on him.  Its really sad some people are so ideologically driven they don’t even see how ridiculous they are.  If her irritating (to you) style is what makes her awful then try comparing her to an irritating liberal that you like.  If its her ideas that drive you nuts then compare her to others whom you also disagree with – do you hate them as much?   If so you must hate most Americans, and if so please do most of us a favor and move to whatever communist or far left socialist country you choose so you can surround yourself with like-minded fools.

    Flappygums, what does ‘stuck’ mean to you?

    The Alaska Public Safety Commissioner dismissal, also known as Troopergate,[1] involves the July 2008 dismissal of the Public Safety Commissioner for the State of Alaska by Governor Sarah Palin.

    On October 10, 2008, the twelve-member Alaska Legislative Council
    voted unanimously to release, without endorsing, the Branchflower
    investigative report, which found Palin had violated the ethics law
    covering state executive employees.[2] The Branchflower report did not recommend a criminal investigation or sanctions.[3] Under Alaska law, the state’s Personnel Board, not the Legislature, decides whether a Governor has violated the ethics laws.[3]
    On November 3, 2008, the bi-partisan Alaska State Personnel Board
    released the findings of its own investigation which concluded that
    Palin did not violate any ethics laws

    She was convicted of nothing, nada, zip, zilch. On ANY ethics complaint.

    So what is your definition of ‘stuck’, anyway? The trooper in question was a real sleazeball, too. You could have learned that by reading your own link. She had the backbone to try to have him removed. Heaven forbid that she try to remove sleazeballs from office, huh? Liberals always protect their sleazeballs, don’t they?

  • Joan Kelly

    Used to be a saying:  “If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the oven.”  It certainly applies here.

    While I feel some compassion for Sarah’s:  “Oops!” as she had no idea what she faced being caught in the ego blasting light of US political publicity, I can and do fault her for taking up space now, when she needs to have learned her lesson and quit already.  The truth is:  if she had a hard time being Gov of AL, there’s no way in heck she could stand it as Prez of the US.

    She isn’t the voice of sanity all of us need and she does real harm with her rants against Michelle Obama’s work for the health and welfare of our children and her shrieking assertions that President Obama’s health care plan called for “death panels”, etc.  She appeals to the basest need to be separate in us; not the higher calling of unity.

    I would feel more compassion for her if she spoke with reason and knowledge instead of great hubris.

     Why were the lawsuits frivolous? Or are you just parroting the talking points? Not one had any merit? Palin was as pure as the driven snow? It’s a fact she charged taxpayers for her children’s travel expenses. It’s a fact she charged taxpayers per diem while she lived in her own home. The AG of AK could have defended her, but she CHOSE to have her own attorney. And she had a legal defense fund that was funded by donors. Aren’t you sick of her crying “victim” all the time?

    Question for you. If a trove (dozens of pounds when printed) of Obama’s old emails were released, what would the media do?

    1. Put them online and encourage a crowdsourced hunt for gaffes and wrongdoing (as they’re doing with Palin), OR

    2. Beat the one minute mile running carrying the dozens of pounds of emails to the nearest bulk shredding facility?

    I’m leaning towards the second, what about you? And, is that good for the U.S.?

    Oh Jeff, I assure you, President Obama has been under public scrutiny much more than your Sarah could ever think of withstanding.

    He invites scrutiny to the point that he displays his daily actions on line at http://www.whitehouse.gov for all to see.  You can view where he is hourly and view his speeches on that site…for nothing more than the time it takes you to open the site. 

    There’s a link on www,whitehouse.gov to: We The People where you can begin, view and sign petitions for actions you would like the POTUS to examine and you will get an email from him where he explains his decision concerning the petition, i.e: Keystone XL.  He’s right, incidentally.  We need much more information before we wreck this planet with more crud.

    More importantly, IMHO, on that site you can tell POTUS what’s important to you and ask questions that will more often than not get answered.  If you don’t ask – you don’t have anything to complain about.

    – Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore aren’t Sarah Palin’s biggest fans, but the power couple was appalled about the release of nearly 25,000 pages of her emails to the media. “I find sifting through [Palin's] emails repulsive and overreaching,” the 33-year-old soon-to-be Two and a Half Men star tweeted. Moore, 48, echoed her hubby’s sentiments…
    Repulsive and overreach…… I agree.   Palin was no longer a candidate for office at the time of the “crowd sourcing.”  

    Is this the new standard for vetting candidates? I wouldn’t support it, regardless of who the candidate is.

    In light of recent discussions regarding Palin’s decision to resign from office, I decided to read through her pre-Independence Day speech, and I began reflecting on the inarticulate manner in which she announced her resignation, trying to decipher the rambling, disjointed reasons that she gave for her decision, basically trying to make sense of it all, and this is what I came up with …

    She’s not a quitter. Had she remained in office and finished her first gubernatorial term, then she would be a quitter. Huh? That can’t be right.

    Oh, I know. She’s a dead fish swimming upstream. No, that doesn’t make sense either.

    How about this? She’s the starting point guard on her basketball team playing in the championship game. It’s midway through the third quarter and her team is down by ten points. She drives down the court, passes the ball to a teammate, and…promptly takes herself out of the game, grabs a couple of pom poms, and spends the rest of the 2nd half on the sidelines hanging out with the cheerleaders. What? Hmmm.

    I’ve got it. She grew tired of all of the local ethics investigations and media intrusion into her personal family life, so naturally she decided to move her act onto the national stage where nobody would bother her. No, huh?

    Well, after carefully analyzing her speech, I’ve finally come to the conclusion that Sarah Palin is simply a rebel without a clue.

    Oh, come on now. Who are we kidding? 

    Palin betrayed her constituency and quit her job midterm because she decided that being the “Gov” wasn’t fun any more.  She saw the opportunity to cash in and make big bucks selling (ghost-written, self-glorifying, petty vindictiveness-laden) books, as well as keeping herself in the spotlight by spewing shallow, snarky bits of inanity on the national lecture circuit and in paid television appearances.  Dollars over duty. Cash over constituency.

    I will say that the town I live in is considered to be one of the business centers of the larger metropolitan area I live in.  Many large businesses have their headquarters here.  It has a very nice downtown area with lots of nice, higher-end shops and restaurants.  It also has a very nice residential area, in which I live.  It is considered to be one of the safer areas in the metropolitan area I live in.  Crime is low.

    So, no, I am not a hick, nor do I live in a “hick town.”

    It was one thing to call for state ID’s for people to vote. It was another thing that he and the GOP ruled House & Senate saw fit to close down Department of Motor Vehicles” in his state that were in Democratic majority areas. You also needed to tell the DMV that you wanted a Voter ID, they didn’t have a check mark to choose that. Otherwise you’d have to pay for an ID. Even though students that went to UW  and WU had been issued ID’s that were from the “state” that wasn’t a ID that was legal.

    Further, a group is filing FOIA requests by the 1000s so you are not able to do your job effectively, you would still keep your job.

    No I wouldn’t. Not fair to my family and to my constituents.

     I don’t like people throwing around the word hick.  I worked as a reporter in towns of 15,000, then 60,000, before I went to law school.  I’ve had a lot of business dealings with small governmental units.  It is a mistake to think Palin is just some dolt that only got where she is because she came from some lower-intelligence community.  That’s plain bigotry.  As for Texas towns, you are somewhat safe during daylight hours.  After dark, avoid beer joints and pool halls, and any other place where fun may be had.  I like Dallas.  After Austin, it is the best place to live in Texas.

    I understand and respect your feelings about the word “hick.”  But I haven’t used it because Wasilla is a small town. 

    I do feel that Palin is a dolt, even though she was once governor.  From what I have seen of Wasilla, it is a very small town; the mayor and other government positions really have not a lot of responsibility.  I understand that when Palin left the mayorship in Wasilla, the town grew a large deficit, notably because of some sports facility or similar type facility she had built.  

    I honestly think that Palin became governor because of personal charisma, her looks, etc.  I honestly believe she was the most popular governor in the nation because of the checks she had written for every citizen from the oil companies…..checks to the tune of a couple of thousand dollars…..bribery, I say.

    I honestly believe that Palin rose to power because of her love of being in the spotlight and being like a celebrity.  In spite of the fact that she constantly complained about Obama being a celebrity, look at what she has become.

    I will also say, however, that I have read that before Palin was selected to be McCain’s running mate, she was a different person.  She actually did do some good in Alaska.  But, I think the spotlight ruined her.

    Getting back to Wasilla being a “hick town;” perhaps it is not, but I think the Palins make me feel that way.  They do not seem very well educated to me (and, that’s not bad in and of itself, unless you consider the fact that Ms. Palin was mayor and eventually governor….I want my leaders to be well educated).  The celebrity nature and the reality-TV show nature of the Palin family is something I find distasteful and leads me to call Wasilla a “hick” town.  Yes, I know American Idol has been the number one TV show in this country for a number of years, but what does that really say about us? 

    Palin’s answers to some questions, notably questions about foreign policy, also confirm to me that she is a dolt and that perhaps Wasilla is a “hick” town.  Her inability to tell Katie Couric what newspapers/magazines she reads adds to this feeling.  These are not “gotcha” questions. They are questions which to many, including me, would help determine one way or another whether or not Ms. Palin is capable of running a large nation and interacting with the world. 

    I have friends from very small towns.  I don’t think they or their towns are “hicks.”  As pointed out, I grew up in a somewhat small town and currently live in a smaller town…..but I do not consider either one, especially the one I live in now, to be “hick.”

    Lastly, I will just say I strongly disagree with much of what Ms. Palin stands for.  She and others call Obama very divisive.  But consider this: one of the things Palin used to go around saying is that there is a “real America,” which implies that there is a “not so real America.”  She is implying that rural America, and her GOP/tea party supporters, are the “real Americans” and that liberals, especially those who live in (big) cities, are not “real Americans.”  Isn’t this just about the most divisive thing one can say about the people in this country, when Ms. Palin refers to me and others with my same beliefs to not be “real Americans?”  Isn’t that one of the things that makes us all Americans, the ability to freely believe things, to disagree with others, and even be liberals?

  • Anonymous

    Also forgot to add….one reason Palin became governor is that the previous governor was so bad……anyone probably could have beaten him.

    Just read your response again……Dallas is ok in my book, but I wouldn’t want to live there. Again, I have been there many times on business (although it’s been awhile).  In my younger days, I liked it better because of the nightlife…..but wouldn’t necessarily care for such activities nowadays.

    Never been to Austin…..but from what I understand, it is a pretty liberal city!  Perhaps I would like it a lot…..friend of mine goes to SXSW every other year…..he really likes Austin.

    The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency­. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederac­y of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.­”

No official action was taken against her.  Many of the complaints were filed by students.  It cost the government of Alaska a lot of taxpayer dollars to pay administrative lawyers, judges and clerks to handle these types of cases.  When they can’t handle them all, they hire additional help like any office.  This was a tactic against her, probably run by David Axelrod.

    You’re forgetting that the Alaska Personnel Board is a 3 member panel that is appointed by the governor and that Gov. Palin filed an ethics complaint against herself so they could come up with their own findings.

    But the bipartisan Legislative Council which unanimously reported that Gov. Palin abused her authority and violated Alaska’s ethics law was a Republican dominated, 12 member panel of duly elected legislators.

    After Palin resigned there was discussion in the legislature about changing the way Personnel Board members are appointed.

Then she proceeded to be as secretive as possible having up to 6 known e-mail accounts that she conducted government business on! These e-mails were requested 3 YEARS AGO!!!

    Oh, and how did WE fail? Obama is President and your quitter queen pays her nannies with the $20.12 you Palinbots send her SuperPac every month thinking she’s a real politician!! LMFAO!!

     Especially when SHE was the one that filed charges against HERSELF which made up the bulk of those legal bills.

     That’s BS. Van Fleis was paid for by the state.

     Since you seem to know Sarah so well, can you ask her for a comment on Shailey Tripp’s passed lie detector test in which she claims she was Todd’s prostitute?

    I heard that Tripp (no relation to Bristol’s son) will have a book out next month…

    She couldn’t take the heat so she got out of the kitchen. One can only imagine how she would NOT be able to handle the pressures of the White House. She resigned after two years as Alaska governor? She would resign after two days in the White House. And people still want her to run for President? Thank God, she is avaricious and chose to make money.  She may be crazy, but she is not stupid.

    Wrong. Under Alaskan law while legislaters can have their legal fees paid by the state, the Governor cannot. Its silly of course, but that was the case. She was facing banruptcy, which was of course, the goal of her enemies.

    I thought we knew this all already? If the vicious left had just left her alone she would probably still be up in Alaska right now.

    Why should it be.  We have other soldiers going to Afghanistan too, but why should he be recognized and the others not.  He is a soldier like all the others, which we highly respect and honor them for performing their duty.  This is not a news worthy subject to recognize only one soldier and not the others.

    Why shouldn’t she, if it fits, use it again instead of wasting time writing something new every time that basically says the same thing.  Besides, she right!

    No. She was well on her way to grifting people for her SuperPAC and becoming a reality TV “star”, having Brisket on DTWS, and shilling to have yet another TV show about her secessionist husband. She did this to herself.

    0_o. All that happened well after she was out. If you didn’t read the article this is referring back to when she was just chosen to be McCain’s VP

     You are so right about her voice.  What a tragedy.  Reminds me of the fate of the old silent movie actors when talkies came out.

     I want to disavow any connection to Calvinus’ statement.  Her appearance is what got her where she is.  If she looked like Janet Reno, she’d still be back in Wasilla.  She needs to pose nude in Playboy or Hustler, and get her own TV show.  She is not smart enough to be president.  Gorgeous, yes. President, no.

     Maybe she can be a judge on American Idol.

     I think she meant to say, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”

  • david r

     She got out of town in the nick of time, like an Old West outlaw, outrunning the posse, tight brown leather pants warm in the saddle.  She dreams a little, and feels the dark encroachment of that old catastrophe.

    . Any law school graduate, not to mention many established right

    Not to mention those who might envision some kind of unconscionable fee arrangement.

    I don’t oft recall many Mediaite articles hghilighting the loss of some thirty lives in Afghanistan over the course of this year, despite it being February, or delving very deeply into the lives of ordinary soldiers being deployed in Afghanistan, which are more worthy of coverage than a good deal of what the site chooses to cover.

     Whatsmore, I think you know quite well that I was not proposing that Track Palin was more worthy of coverage than any other soldier, I to highly respect and honor them for performing their duty. But I do propose that, if I were to choose between two stories about Sarah Palin; the first choice being a private email (sent years ago) illustrating the Governor’s frustration with ethics complaints that may or may not be bogus, and the second choice being Palin’s son going off to Afghanistanwithin the week - I don’t think anyone would hold it against me for choosing the latter.

    That others have chosen the former doesn’t do much to erase the already preconceived notion that the MEdiaite Staff does indeed have it in for the Governor, which is a shame.

    Pfft. To her enemies everything has the “appearance of impropriety.” She should probably stop breathing. That might satisfy them.

    Republican for 40yrs. I new when she was chosen as a VP candidate what a lame choice she was and that losing would be 90% her fault. The other 10% went to McCain for choosing her. Do you blindly support moronic people as candidates or do you “seek” some level of quality? Please don’t respond anything about President Obama being of low quality because as it stands with the crap the Republican Tea Party has been offering there’s no contest. As far as why release them? Why not? She put herself in the public view and she opened the door to revealing her own conflicting nature. Did you buy into her presidential run? Do you send her money? didn’t the pizza party with Trump tell you anything? Do you believe in anything this opportunist says? She is an attention hound has done more to cause damage to the Republican Party by pretending to care about the RTP extremist desires to stay in the limelight. Any attention she gets validates her value to Fox since that is the only forum she apears on. Any other platform would have to many “gotcha questions” that are hard to answer. Fox just lets her ramble on because she a “celebrity”. They know she’s a ditz at Fox and at some point her contract will run out and she will fade into obscurity much like Beck.

     the rare mistakes fox news makes hit the echo chamber and are remembered forever while ABC,NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NYT mistakes are quickly forgotten forever. 
    Take a look about all the MISTAKES that have been reported about Sarah palin over the past 3 + years.  All of the lies about her have been proven to be 100% false after looking through her emails.  However that will not stop liberals from constantly repeating them. 
    Every time one of the liberals says her child isn’t hers or that she slept with glen rice…..it makes them look no different then a Obama birth certificate hunter.  They are two sides of the same crazy coin.

    no not really. she’s incredible thin skinned and can’t handle public scrutiny. No tactic necessary, she’s collapsed her own career in politics no one takes her seriously.

    Yeah, the Republican legislature issued a report saying she abused her power. Then an “independent” panel (that actually worked for Palin) issued its own report saying she didn’t abuse her power. In other words, Palin “exonerated” herself.

    You are either a fool or a liar.  There were about 3,000 complaints filed in a short period of time, right after she became the VP nominee.  No official action was ever taken against her.  None.

    “..All of the lies about her have been proven to be 100% false …”

    Well, duh, If they’re lies, they’re false.
    I’m referring to the facts about her. Or didn’t she quit the governorship of Alaska? And isn’t she a blatant ignoramus?
     More importantly, fux news is nothing more than a propaganda arm of the repugantan party. And they admit as much.
