An ordinary citizen facing legal charges is not likely to be able to generate donations to a legal defense fund, he wrote. "In contrast, Governor Palin is able to generate donations because of the fact that she is a public official and a public figure. Were it not for the fact that she is governor and a national political figure, it is unlikely that many citizens would donate money to her legal defense fund."

So where were these idiots when Bill Clinton was raising millions in his defense fund?

An ordinary citizen wouldn’t be harassed like this. It’s because of her public figure status that she got into this jam in the first place.

What is she supposed to do? There’s no workable legal solution?
