Did Trig die?

I'm just trying to think of reasons she would resign in the middle of a term and not give a reason why...

I like how Fox is the only one spinning this into a 2012 bid.

Every other channel is being real and sees it as a woman who can't take the heat and is getting out of the kitchen. Of course she'll only end up back in the kitchen again.

Because she's a woman.

Cagey B: Xerxes99: chipspastic: She just announced she won't even finish her term as governor! Doesn't sound like a presidential run to me.

/btw.... barry never finished his term as senator....

He ran while he was a Senator, genius.

/Obama makes it very clear: No White House bid in '08 Link (new window)

Philly: I bet she's pregnant again.

That never stopped her before. Remember she flew to Alaska - Wasilla, after landing in Anchorage - after her water broke in Texas.

If she were pregnant now, she'd plop that baby out right in the middle of a appearance and not blink. That or fly to Taiwan to deliver it by way of Mars.

Nice, MSNBC goes to break after the PC, and a Billy Mays commercials comes on.

This is gonna be a gooood weekend, I can tell.

This one is newsflash ready. I can't believe I found out by my sister texting me instead of a newsflash email. My reputation as the family news junkie is in tatters!

Sullivan is weighing in:

"Yeah - but she could still finish her term. I have no idea what this could mean, if it's true. But my bet is that she will blame it on the Eastern elite media. She may figure withdrawing as a victim from the arena is the only way back to the center of the arena. But, as Bubble once said, "Who Can Saay?" All we know is she's back in the news again folks. Strange as ever."

I hope it's because A-Rod got the 14 yr old pregnant.

Weaver95: If the Republicans nominate that woman as their lead candidate, they're done for as a national party.

I give it a week before they disown her completely. There's got to be more to this, and I bet it'll be good.

Good.

I hope she gets the hell away from the political Right as fast as humanly possible.

She's our Jimmy Carter. An absolute moron that people on "her side" still irrationally cling to just because the other side hates her.

She does realize that she will have to campaign AGAINST other republicans before she gets to compete against Obama, yes?

Romney alone will tear her a brand spanking new asshole.

Lost Thought 00: How long until she tries to un-resign, and blames Democrats for being obstructionist and not letting her resume her governorship?

Palin/Favre '12?

I heard she's not going to run for President, but will take over Greta Van Susteren's show.

Can anyone find just one actual English sentence in any transcript in any of her interviews, debates or speeches?
I try to read transcripts, and everything she says are just a bunch of words in giant run on sentences that don't really actually say anything at all.

Alien Robot: Befuddled: So did Palin do some poling in her home state and find out that she's got less than a snowball's chance in hell of winning reelection as governor? I can't imagine she is all that popular in Alaska right now.

Her popularity poll numbers in Alaska are higher than Obama's nationwide. Do you think Obama has "less than a snowball's chance in hell of winning reelection"? Or are you seeing what you want to see?

I thought hers was 54% last I saw, Obama's between 56-65. Hers has dropped more and more, but I certainly don't agree with "not a snowball's chance."

Weaver95: f the Republicans nominate that woman as their lead candidate, they're done for as a national party.

She's killed any chance for that now. Anybody that can't handle the pressure of governorship is unfit for the presidency.

Lost Thought 00: Did Trig die?

I'm just trying to think of reasons she would resign in the middle of a term and not give a reason why...

Being governor is hard :(

Maybe she was just so broken up ater Jackson's death she couldn't take it anymore?

pleasegodletitbeasextape

take off every Trig ...

for great justice!

do you think she has an argentinian mistress?

I don't know but I'll bet she has a Brazilian wax.

Apparently not everything is tougher in Alaska

Candy Crowley explanation for why the speech was rambling and insane: It wasn't written down, it came out of her head.


Yeah, that explains it. Any time she tries to speak using her head she ends up looking insane and retarded.

Befuddled

So did Palin do some poling in her home state


*juvenile snicker*

thenino85: She's our Jimmy Carter. An absolute moron that people on "her side" still irrationally cling to just because the other side hates her.

You are a complete idiot if you think there's any comparison between Carter and Palin. Which would explain why you're a Republican.

I didn't realize this was only her first term. So has she finished anything that she started?

That was an entirely unrelated article to anything being discussed, but thanks anyway.

Klingon Penis: I can't believe this is a prepared statement.
What a complete dumbass.

I enjoyed her praise of how our brave troops, "never give up." In her resignation speech.
The cognitive dissonance...it burns.

Alien Robot: Her popularity poll numbers in Alaska are higher than Obama's nationwide.

Obama: 65% approval nationwide
Palin: less than 50% in Alaska
Faaaaaaaaail

Alien Robot: I heard she's not going to run for President, but will take over Greta Van Susteren's show.

That's almost believable.

Alien Robot: Her popularity poll numbers in Alaska are higher than Obama's nationwide.

Wrong.

Obama 62% (Gallup)
Palin 54% (Hays)

And show me numbers and sources instead of making a bullshiat counterargument, OK?

Maybe I missed it, but FOXNews still has not shown her resignment speech - to an audience of about 20 people.

She's leaving to make million$ in the private sector.

Smart move, and a total bummer for the Palin-bashing industry. No one will buy their t-shirts now.

Playboy spread.
Hef finally offered her more money than the pipeline companies.

Hobodeluxe: Candy Crowley smells scandal.

I'd like to smell Candy Crowley's scandal. Rawr that woman is hot.

Hobodeluxe: pleasegodletitbeasextape

I laughed. But agree.

furiousxgeorge: Candy Crowley explanation for why the speech was rambling and insane: It wasn't written down, it came out of her head.


Yeah, that explains it. Any time she tries to speak using her head she ends up looking insane and retarded.

it is nice to get a look at the swirling whirlwind of sports metaphors and refrigerator magnet slogans contained in that head though.

This can't be about running in '12. Two years (after her term is up) would be plenty of time to cram for that. There is something a-brewin up there.

furiousxgeorge: My god her statement is rambling, confusing and insane, and she is speaking like five times too fast. What the hell?

/beats all those ummms and ahhhs like the kenyan gibbers when missing his teleprompter.....

From CNN's article - "She thinks she has accomplished goals she has set forward," a source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said.

Uh, that's why you don't run for re-election, not why you bail out in the middle of your term. There's smoke here, and probably fire too.

you are a puppet

Republican strategy to get voted back into power: "we're gonna need more trigs"

[pic of Quint, et al]


They're gonna need a trigger boat.

DamnYankees: Maybe she was just so broken up ater Jackson's death she couldn't take it anymore?

OR, something we've not considered yet, the custody battle over her grandson is about to take a REAL ugly turn.

Blackmail, perhaps?

Or God told her to/the voices in her head finally became unbearable.

EvilJordan: I'd like to smell Candy Crowley's scandal. Rawr that woman is hot.

GIS...

Oh goddammit.

Xerxes99: furiousxgeorge: My god her statement is rambling, confusing and insane, and she is speaking like five times too fast. What the hell?

THIS. You're the smartest guy in here and Palin's the only one who rivals your intelligence.

bravian: I didn't realize this was only her first term. So has she finished anything that she started?

She managed to raise corporate taxes. And redistributed the wealth to the rest of the population. That's about it.

barneyfifesbullet: She's leaving to make million$ in the private sector.

Fine with us!

I almost posted that, but don't bother with him.

That is a good move. Look at Coulter - can be as ignorant and savage as she wants with no accountability.
