And so the apologist speaks!

I have not heard anyone complain how much Ms. Palin makes.

It is not like she married someone really, really rich....as her running mate did.

I assume she earned her money...albeit all from tax dollars! Certainly government workers are deserving of the pay they make.

In a state with a relatively high PCPI of $50,746 - she is still doing alright.

And when this is over she will write a book and go on the rubber chicken circuit and really make some money.

But gosh darn it! I don't think when you are makin' a few multiples of the state's average wage you ought to be braggin' 'bout your empathy with those who are strugglin'.

And gosh darn it! I would think at that income level and with the hockey team and the church and all, she could do better than 1.5%!

But gosh darn it! Don't be a hypocrite!
