Someone correct me if I’m wrong. The joke is that these folks fall for the meme that she has to pay either way. The fund trusty thingy (unless it’s ruled ILLEGAL) will pay. -------------- Thanks, Seagull. The worst part is the article was doing a good job until it got to reason to quit #5. The article seemed to commiserate with her about the horrendous personal financial burden from all those darn legal bills. I sent the Times editor a letter, including a link to the Trust and an excerpt that funds could be used by Palin and her family without stating how they were spending the money.
