Failin' Palin under federal investigation?

It's now widely believed that Sarah Palin resigned her governor's throne because she is under a federal investigation.

According to this story, federal investigators are now probing whether Palin and her husband steered lucrative contracts to a construction firm that built their house while she was Wasilla's mayor, in exchange for political favors.

This follows Palin blaming the big, mean media for her own resignation. (Is she talking about the same media that fawned over her throughout the 2008 campaign?)

Palin's singular dedication to right-wing causes in every office she's held is of an aggravating strain that I'm all too familiar with. She comes from a place that's about the same size and type as that where I grew up, and I remember crazy nuts of this sort getting important positions in local government or public agencies.

In the cases in my area, political clout made all the difference. Not unlike in the crazy world of Failin' Palin.
