jso2897: Gato Negro: I want to f*ck her AND vote for her.

So, you want complete social collapse AND the clap?

*spit take.*

Ceiling Moran: FTFY

//was that bad? should I have not done that?

Oh no, I lol'ed.

God, I hope this means the end of her political career.

I actually do fear the possibility of a Palin run in 2012. If the morons flocked to her like they flocked to Bush, there's enough of them that she could win.

Her major supporters are idiots. A majority of them are fundamentalist Christians who would love to see that pesky separation of church and state disappear.

Regardless of whether you're a Democrat, Republican, conservative or liberal, no good will come of a Palin presidency. Unless you work on the Daily Show.

optikeye: Todd and Joe the Plumber were caught on web cam teabagging each other.

That..would be kind of hot..actually...

Did she kill her baby?

What did she do?

This is hilarious.

I turned on the TV and spit my pop out. What a terrible setting and speech. Whats with all the farm animals making noises in the background? I think i heard a sheep, a goat and maybe a turkey?

Well anyway i dont blame her. she was unknown and was asked to be VP. She had no idea what attention that would bring. And she did take a lot of shiat some well deserved and some not.

I think she tried too hard to impress people with her generic speeches about patriotism and god. She had troubles being herself in public. im sure she is a fun honest naughty outgoing and decent person in real life (probably more so than most of the people you see on TV) by evidence of her hell yeah comment right after she talked about praying and whatever else she was saying.

Damn she is a hot milf.

Maybe she's going to run for president of Texas?

No good will come of a Palin nomination either.

I'm not sure I care much about what she does I just hope Todd doesn't take this as a cue and quit his snow machine championship thingy.

zedster: 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

Well, sort of. Smaller federal governments means states can CHOOSE to be small or large. Sort of how they wrote it up 200+ years ago.

If it's a scandal, why not just come out with it now? Every single journalist is calling all of their sources and someone has got to be itching to reveal it. It's just stupid to not tell us yourself when we're going to find out.

She's cutting and running. Who will protect us from Putin's head?

Scandal?

You betcha!

My guess is some journalist contacted her and gave a warning shot across the bow that they are going to run a story about her next week.

She's resigning before it breaks.

Putting her up in 2012? Do the Whigs Republicans really want to lose that badly?

The disconnect between the real Palin, the strong ambitious intelligent woman who's experience dwarfs Obama's and the Palin that the mainstream media tried to paint her as is vast.

Lost Thought 00: vanity


It wasn't a fluff piece. It skewered her. The Runners World or whatever it's called piece with the sexy running-gear photos was a fluff piece.

The Vanity Fair piece probably made her cry, and she's resigning because she can't take the pressure of being a politician on the national stage in a country with free press. That's my theory for the minute.

mesohorny: I turned on the TV and spit my pop out. What a terrible setting and speech. Whats with all the farm animals making noises in the background? I think i heard a sheep, a goat and maybe a turkey?

MSNBC went to the tape and thats all i heared. I thought for a second someone dubbed in the noises as a joke.

lol, the fact that you threw naughty in there along with the last line and your handle.

Every Republican strategist, that is not batshiat insane, has stated that her only chance at national office was to finish out her term and display good leadership at the state level. Also, use that time to bone up on basic geography and core conservative issues, legal decisions, etc.

She couldn't even do that?

Stick a fork in her. She be done.

ZangTT: My Fave: Texas, to replace Kay Bailey who'll be running for Governor. I'm in Texas and even I don't know Kay's likely replacement. However, Palin and Kay are wary of each other due to Palin's support for Rick "Good Hair Secessionist" Perry.

'Gone to Texas' was my first thought, too.

Florida, Pennsylvania or, most high-risk, California would be better for her for general election purposes.

Dinki: Mr. Chainsaw: Anyways, this is fantastic news for me. I'm moving to Alaska on August 2. I sure dodged that bullet!

Well that's it right there- she heard you were coming and wanted outa there. :)

I can live with that. You're welcome, by the way.

I thought I was gonna have to retire this, but it looks like I get to dust it off out of my profile.



Hooray?

John Dewey: If it's a scandal, why not just come out with it now? Every single journalist is calling all of their sources and someone has got to be itching to reveal it. It's just stupid to not tell us yourself when we're going to find out.

I'm still convinced it has something to do with Wooley and Butler. That's the most recent bit of bad business that happened.

From_The_Year_2000: Lost Thought 00: 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.

You thought that was a fluff piece?

Meh, got my magazine articles mixed up. Still, though, WTF? If she were President, God Forbid, would she resign just for the hell of it halfway through her term? Would she resign the first time the Democrats put forth a fillibuster?

She just killed her entire political career. Her only options are to try to be a commentator (The Fox on FOX?), or to be a homewife.

There's no way she's running for president in 2012.

You don't quit being a governor and then ask to get hired as president.

But then again, I haven't been able to figure her out in the past, so I could be totally wrong about this.

NobleHam: Scandal, or Senate run. Resigning just to run for the Senate seems odd, though.

As I said, especially since there's already a Republican incumbent in the seat that's up for election.

She just torpedoed her Presidential aspirations, so either she's retiring from electoral politics altogether, there's more to this story and another shoe will drop soon, or she's extremely, extremely farking dumb.

Then it again, it could be because she was given the Sitting Duck Award (new window) today, beat out even Rod Blagojevich!

The National Society of Newspaper Columnists chose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as the winner of its annual Sitting Duck Award, a tongue-in-cheek honor that pokes fun at the most ridiculed newsmakers in the United States.

Palin beat out Democrat Rod Blagojevich, the ousted former governor of Illinois allegedly caught trying to sell President Obama's Senate seat.

Blagojevich was the runner-up. Palin was noted for making headline after headline, month after month.

Yep.

Well, that was 89 years later... and a little more complicated than that.

gilgigamesh: My guess is some journalist contacted her and gave a warning shot across the bow that they are going to run a story about her next week.

Yep. That's my guess too. I bet Dominick Dunne got ahold of Levi and the Trig truth is going to come out.

Klingon Penis: She just torpedoed her Presidential aspirations, so either she's retiring from electoral politics altogether, there's more to this story and another shoe will drop soon, or she's extremely, extremely farking dumb.

Can it be bothall three

PickinWhiskers: She did get a bit too bent out of shape about Letterman's joke.
Now she is resigning? Truth hurts?

B-I-N-G-O

shivashakti: Unless you work on the Daily Show.

she'd have them outlawed.

mesohorny: I turned on the TV and spit my pop out. What a terrible setting and speech. Whats with all the farm animals making noises in the background? I think i heard a sheep, a goat and maybe a turkey?

Maybe the Vanity Fair article made her realize how much work she has to do to become a viable national candidate.

Resign from office in order to begin preparation for the election 3 years from now? No. There's scandal brewing. I only wonder what it could be.

John Dewey: If it's a scandal, why not just come out with it now? Every single journalist is calling all of their sources and someone has got to be itching to reveal it. It's just stupid to not tell us yourself when we're going to find out.

I don't think it's a scandal. I think she was getting creamed lately between the Vanity Fair deal and the resulting bickering between Kristol and the McCain campaign team. It's been pretty brutal, she probably thinks she's better off laying low for a bit. She's not just looking her usual crazy-stupid, she's looking like she is being treated like a child by the McCain staff.

I'm not agreeing with the decision, but maybe she thinks she's better off looking like a quitter than someone old time Republicans don't even respect.

STRYPERSWINE: The disconnect between the real Palin, the strong ambitious intelligent woman who's experience dwarfs Obama's and the Palin that the mainstream media tried to paint her as is vast.

How long has Sarah Palin been president?

This thread is making me so happy at work right now. Yay image dump.

Guess she shouldn't handle any "actual responsibility"... maybe she'll try community organizing.

/just got back from lunch... am I late on that one?

Great, the Daily Show and Colbert have the week off, right? Goddammit so much!

Yeah, it's on Fox News right now, and while I'm not a politician, I don't think my go to would be "resignation speech around sheep." Also, whoever they were talking to before going to the speech was claiming that this is a brilliant move so that she can travel and write a book and get everyone to vote for her in 2012.

Color me skeptical.

Control_this: gilgigamesh: My guess is some journalist contacted her and gave a warning shot across the bow that they are going to run a story about her next week.

Yep. That's my guess too. I bet Dominick Dunne got ahold of Levi and the Trig truth is going to come out.

I bet it has something more to do with corruption, possibly dealing with government contracts.

Maybe it is not a scandal, maybe she just got massive corporate sponsorship and the deal was to step down to get the dough.
