The strange saga surrounding Sarah Palin's contract to appear at a Cal State Stanislaus fundraiser continues to grow weirder, more confusing and nastier.

This week, in a turnabout, the university acknowledged the existence of at least 899 records about Palin's June 25 speech at a gala dinner in Turlock, and said it will turn them over to the nonprofit group that requested the information.

A California State University system attorney, Dawn Theodora, held a news conference at which she accused state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, "of trying to create scandal where there is none," and Yee, in a news release, said the university violated state law "800 or 900 times."

The controversy started in late March, after word of the Palin appearance and rumors of a $200,000 speaker's fee surfaced. University officials said they didn't have to turn over documents about the event, saying it was arranged by a private foundation. Then they said they had no records that needed to be disclosed.

Please kick and recommend if you are just tired, tired, TIRED of hearing about Sarah Failin' Palin in the news today. Once again, Palin is making the news big time in California for endorsing Republican US Senate candidate Carly Fiorina.

With Palin getting so much exposure in the press even this long after Election 2008, I wonder what Howard Dean, Geraldine Ferraro, Michael Dukakis, Gray Davis, or Walter Mondale have been doing lately.
