DamnYankees

Who are these idiots clapping for her? Who was she speaking to?

You'd think they'd be smart enough not to plant lackeys to clap at a press event held at her FARKING HOME.

barneyfifesbullet: 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.


I would like to bring this thread (new window) to your attention.

lstywnch: 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.


Interesting. Maybe Levi was given the Jesus juice and slept in the same bed as Sarah?

 
Lost Thought 00 2009-07-03 04:03:30 PM  
She just couldn't take another goddamn Alaskan winter, and is moving back home to Idaho?

So *that's* why Levi hired an agent and body coach....

 
IronTom [TotalFark] 2009-07-03 04:03:55 PM  
Good luck, I'd vote for her over the current guy.

Sabyen91: 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.

Could it be she just can't take it anymore? She's not a strong person, it seems. Like a Condoleezza Rice or a Hillary Clinton. (Their policies aside, they took the heat).

 
Lumi 2009-07-03 04:04:07 PM  
Bwahaha. The guy filling in for Sean Hannity thinks she's resigning to "go run a major corporation."

God I cannot farking WAIT till the 2012 election. I bet Jon Stewart is signing a contract extension with the Daily Show that has more zeros on it than Sarah's IQ test.

Not that grandson. The one that was born in December.

QU!RK1019: EvilJordan: I'd like to smell Candy Crowley's scandal. Rawr that woman is hot.

GIS...

Oh goddammit.


Baaahahahahahaha!!!

Election night, I was at this bar, and telling everyone, "OMG just WAIT until you see this hottie newscaster Candy Crowley. Her name is CANDY! You KNOW she's hot!"

Everyone was very excited. And then she came on screen. And I came in my pants.

SuburbanCowboy: 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.



I keep challenging her supporters with this. Find me one quote from her on any major issue that you (Palin supporters) consider an articulate and intelligent commentary on that issue. Just one.

In response, I get "The liberal media slanders her and makes her sound stupid wharrgarbl!!!1!"

JudgeItoBox: 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.


Here term would have been up in 2010, resigning to run in 2012 makes no sense.

I'm wondering if this has to do with the governor's mansion remodel. She paid the first dude a lot of money.

The speculation is likely going to be far more entertaining than the real story. So please, let's continue speculating based on nothing.

I heard that she and Sanford used to go to Swingers parties.

We tried to tell you she was stupid.

Lost Thought 00: 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.


Yeah, but to be fair, it wasn't her idea. She was just doing it to be popular after we opened up the Veco scandal just before the elections last time.

 
Etchy333 [TotalFark] 2009-07-03 04:04:58 PM  
schief2: 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.

Come to think of it, we haven't heard any news coming out of the Aleutian islands lately. Can someone check to make sure they're still there?

God, I hope she wins the nomination. An Obama vs Palin race would be epically hilarious. Kind of like the Academic Decathlon vs. the kids who ride short bus

Her brother just said she was tired of defending herself against attacks.

Welcome to politics, biatch.

 
WhileAmericaBurns 2009-07-03 04:05:18 PM  
Conservatives, will you please STOP GUSHING OVER THIS WOMAN! She's not your next Reagan, not even close, so just stop it! I'd like there to be someone with enough intelligence and good principles to seriously challenge Obama in four years. Palin is not that someone!

Probably more money and a whole lot easier to just whore yourself and solicit donations by traveling the lower 48 than go through with those pesky gubernatorial duties.

 
All Apologies 2009-07-03 04:06:09 PM  
Her resignation speech was frakking incoherent, she remembers individual talking points but hasn't figured out how to string them together effectively yet.

She really needs a speech writer and a teleprompter.

Seriously, that garble is worthy of another Tina Fey cameo on SNL.

Hee hee, I can't wait for 2012 if she's the R candidate.

 
Lost Thought 00 2009-07-03 04:06:15 PM  
She JUST had an entire vanity fair fluff piece written about her? Why would you do that if you are going to resign a week later? This makes no sense.

Selling Mary Kay out of her Subaru would be stretching it....

My only hope now is that the republican party dies out and a new small-government based party emerges without the shackles of religion-based views.

 
NobleHam 2009-07-03 04:06:42 PM  
Scandal, or Senate run. Resigning just to run for the Senate seems odd, though. I highly doubt she'll be the 2012 candidate, now. I've said it before: If the Republicans want even a sliver of a chance in 2012, they should go with Fred Thompson.

It wasn't fluff--it was pretty critical of her. The Runner's World piece was fluff.

I can't wait to hear more details about this.

That gif is always funny, but I hadn't seen the first and third pics between her and Palin before. Kudos!

there was never a small government party, it just a matter of small national with large state governments or large national government with smaller state governments

If it is a scandal, will Fox News be so bold as to pull: Sarah Palin (D)?

 
PickinWhiskers 2009-07-03 04:09:20 PM  
She did get a bit too bent out of shape about Letterman's joke.
Now she is resigning? Truth hurts?

If she's relatively south, the winters aren't THAT bad in my experience.

/then again, I think I was there during a warm winter.
