The Anchorage Daily News, Alaska's largest daily paper, gives full-court press to former Gov. Sarah Palin's defense fund improprieties, with a lead Page One story that reports the details, a link to its report last year predicting she woudl face legal problems from the situation, and an online copy of the independent counsel's findings and settlement agreement.

Then, to add insult to Palin's illegal actions, guest columnist Elise Patkotak rips Palin for using her looks to get ahead in a beauty-slanted world: “Anyone who thinks that Sarah Palin's rise to fame and fortune had nothing to do with her beauty pageant looks is simply delusional”

Ouch!
