Sarah has granted interviews explaining why she stepped down.

“Gov. Sarah Palin was coy about her presidential aspirations but criticized both President Obama and the Republican Party in her first interview since announcing she was stepping down as governor of Alaska.

Standing astride a fishing boat she would later climb aboard to haul in fishing nets and salmon, Palin expressed bitterness at bloggers who peppered her with ethics accusations, whom she said brought government in Alaska to a grinding halt.

“The critics want to put you on a course of personal bankruptcy, so you can’t afford to serve,” she said, calling the attacks “bull crap.”

The governor made the remarks in an interview with FOX News in Dillingham, where she was fishing with her husband, Todd, and daughter Piper. Reporters from three other networks were also in attendance.

Watch the full interview on FOX News Channel at 9 a.m. ET

Palin said she has started a legal defense fund to raise money for legal fees.”

Again, in recent history there has never been a more vicious, sexist and inappropriate treatment of a politician. One could imagine the media outrage had David Letterman called Chelsea Clinton a slut, or hinted at such. He would have been off the air in an instant.

Again, no one fields the shame of her treatment more than the right. She gave us far more than she took away, and what did she get for her trouble? Stabbed in the back, with a little twist. They bear their shame.
