Palin: Couric was "Badgering" and Biased
CBS News ^ | 11-12-09 | AP

The rumors are true, according to Sarah Palin: The McCain-Palin campaign was not a happy family.

And she says that most of her legal bills were generated defending what she called frivolous ethics complaints, but she reveals that about $500,000 was a bill she received to pay for the McCain campaign vetting her for the VP nod.

She said when she asked the McCain campaign if it would help her financially, she was told McCain's camp would have paid all the bills if he'd won; since he lost, the vetting legal bills were her responsibility.

I purposely highlighted this part of the article, because I am stunned beyond belief that the McCain campaign made Palin pay the fees they incurred to vet her for the V.P. nod. $500,000?!!

“She said when she asked the McCain campaign if it would help her financially, she was told McCain’s camp would have paid all the bills if he’d won; since he lost, the vetting legal bills were her responsibility.”

Incredible.

She actually had to pay for her OWN vetting..INCREDIBLE. McCain was the one that chased her and wanted HER to be his Vice President, yet SHE had to pay for him and his people vetting her. I have no words, really at the stupidity of this campaign.

“The 413-page book with 16 pages of color photos but no index comes out Tuesday, Nov. 17.”

Is that another dig at her intelligence? These people are shameless..... why mention that there’s no index? Do most memoirs have an index?

LOL, they sure are all wee wee’d about about this book. Why does it matter if it has no index? So glad they reported on that crucial detail.

It sounds like Palin got billed for not only her own vetting but the vetting of all of the other rejected possibilities. If not, that $500,000 was one of the biggest over expenditures in campaign history.
