We were as surprised as anyone when Sarah Palin actually denounced the really bad 2008 U.S. Supreme 
Court decision that slashed the Exxon Valdez oil spill verdict, saying 30,000 victims could only get one-tenth of the jury’s award. She said it was a “huge disappointment,” that she didn’t think was “right” or “fair.” Sure, Palin’s a civil justice hypocrite, but hey, we’re not proud. We’ll take it. Ah, but like so many who were once sucked in by the charms of Sarah Palin, guess we spoke too soon.
Not that we’ve actually read it or anything, but in her uber-popular new book “Going Rogue,” Palin now apparently says the “U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the people,” even calling it a “victory” for Alaskans. Not only that, she claims to have played a pivotal role in achieving that “victory.”
“’That is the most cockamamie bullsh@t,’” said Dave Oesting of Anchorage, lead plaintiff attorney in the private litigants’ civil case against Exxon and its successor, Exxon Mobil Corp. “’She didn’t have a damn thing to do with it, and she didn’t know what it was about.’”
“It’s a disgrace. It’s a disgrace to the legal system,” added Riki Ott, a scientist, environmental activist and Prince William Sound fisherman. “It’s a disgrace to intellectual honesty to call 10 cents on the dollar a win for Alaskans.”
Yeah, didn’t she say that before?
