Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin's ex-fiance, accused Sarah Palin of resigning as the governor of Alaska in order to make some money. He stated that he lived with the Palin family for a while and that "She had talked about how nice it would be to take some of this money people had been offering us and you know just run with it, say 'forget everything else." Seeing that she had over $500,000 in legal fees, it's not hard to believe that she was planning to get away with the money in order to pay them off. However, as the article stated Johnston wants his own book and movie deal. His accusations could be based on facts or they could be entirely made up in order to cash in on her fame as well. It seems as though he is being a hypocrite. He said that book deals are really what interested Palin, but he is the one pursuing book deals. What about Palin wanting to make a book suggests that she wanted to run away with the money? Various of other politians have made books, George W. Bush even had a movie and his term was barely ending. i don't believe that she wanted to cash in on fame; she probably wanted to let people know about her life story. Johnston doesn't have a political career or isn't well known so he gains more from the whole scandal.

I agree with you Otto, she probably wants the whole media scandals to stop and wants people to stop getting in her private life. In other hand instead of wanting cash and fame I think she wants to "get out there" and experience the real national politics. She also probably wants to do things that during her term she couldn't do because of the fear that people might criticize her. And about Levi Johnston I think that he wants to get fame from Palin's resignation and be recognize and be seen as if her resignation is his buisness.
