Department of Law

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Hey, Sarah Palin, what's a "department of law"?

It's our Quote of the Day (from ABC News, via The Plank):

I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out.

Yes, Palin thinks that a White House "Department of Law," something apparently unavailable to her in Alaska, would shield her from ethics-violation allegations -- presumably, in good Nixonian fashion, by covering up the violations and going after the allegers with vindictive malice. (ABC News helpfully reminds us that there is no Department of Law in the White House. Thanks.)

Yes, she's that arrogant -- and that clueless.
