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

Doesn't someone need a marketable skill to work in the private sector?

Came for the left-wing meltdown. Leaving satisfied!

The Why Not Guy: It only reinforces the Conservatives' "See how the Liberal Media is out to get our Sarah?" mindset.

Which is funny since here at Fark, she is absolutely loathed by lots of conservatives. Maintaining it's just the media, will juts alienate more people from the GOP if they stick with it and she hangs around in the public eye.

And Bill Kristol thinks that this is the first speech of her presidential campaign.

Because he's a farking idiot.

Lost Thought 00: Did you hear? John McCain just did in a tragic traffic accident!

What he did?

GOLF CLAP! well done

I got a huge laugh out of that, too. Well done.

Sym_pathetic: Fox is saying that "political operatives" were digging up dirt on her in Alaska.

Least those shovel ready projects are finally employing people.

Maury Povich is now a "political operative"

deadpo3t: Came for the left-wing meltdown. Leaving satisfied!

Meltdown? It's not a left-winger who's running away halfway through her term.

LlamaGirl: robsul82: "Todd, you ARE the father!"

OH SNAP!



"Y'all don't know me, y'all don't know me!"

The GOP has to be pretty dense to run Palin given how obvious it is that she's 75% of the reason they got their asses handed to them last year.

But the GOP's pretty dense, so I fully expect them to push for it.

Even if she really gets her game on and poses a serious challenge to Obama, I'll never get over that anti-witchcraft incantation ceremony. Religious morality is mercilessly corroding American culture and politics -- it was bad enough we had a President who believes God told him to invade Iraq, but it will make matters exponentially worse to run a candidate that believes f*cking Wiccans are casting spells on her from afar.

I can't wait to see how this decision is going to be hailed as brilliant by the talk radio hosts. Has anyone ever resigned their office to focus on the Presidency 3 years out?

Slowly the screws turn, the twisting, the squirming, the burning...

Helen Thomas biatching at Bobby Gibbs because there is no transparency here!

Colin Powell is doubting Barry's wisdom.

The Norks fire 4 more missiles

Palin may be setting-up for a future run.

My neighbor has removed all Obama stickers and signs - he's pissed off!

Biden draws a crowd of 40 people in Erie, PA.

Gannett is cutting more than 1,000 jobs.

Unemployment numbers @9 ½ %

Someone has to feel some pressure here.

wait, this was expected? I never heard anything about this. Seems like a poor move, shouldn't she finish her term and just not run again, instead of abandoning her post, if she wants to position herself for 2012?

Quote one. Just one.

seriously were there some dna tests results due? anyone have a legit link to verify?

KarmicDisaster: Maybe the DNA tests are in.

and there's no doubt !

You are an asshole of the highest order. I applaud you, Sir!

Calvin Coolidge: Hahhaha... Fox has Bill Kristol on the phone spinning this as potentially a "shrewd political move." farking gold.

if Bill Kristol told me the sky was blue, I'd have to go outside and look up to verify it.

YoungSwedishBlonde: Sym_pathetic: Fox is saying that "political operatives" were digging up dirt on her in Alaska.

Hot damn. Nice.

Philly: gilgigamesh: Listening to the replay of her rambling speech, it sounds like she is complaining about the press digging into ethical/legal issues.

Imagine her as President: "Screw you guys, I'm going home."

I think she has just pretty much signed the death warrant for any presidential hopes regardless of her reasons. This performance is bizarre, erratic and just plain weird.

After this I don't see how she survives the first round of primaries.

Murphyr: And Bill Kristol thinks that this is the first speech of her presidential campaign.

Because he's a farking idiot.

Ah, Kristol, prognosticator of prognosticators.

After going 0-for-354,972 on Predicting the Iraq War, he's going to talk about 2012?

SilentStrider: So this is good news... for Obama. ;)

hehehehe :D

Bartleby the Scrivener: i39.tinypic.com

I loove those analogy pics. Love McCain as a chimp astronaut.

SilentStrider: if Bill Kristol told me the sky was blue, I'd have to go outside and look up to verify it.

But the man made "City Slickers." One and two. And he was in "Monsters, Inc."

Hehe...

A blank for you all? You betcha! Have at it.

Bucky Katt: Tina Fey is so pretty.

But she'd be even prettier if she smiled once in a while.

Now Fox is trying to blame this on Letterman.

deadpo3t: Came for the left-wing meltdown. Leaving satisfied!


We can't hear you over the sound of how awesome Palin's meltdown is.

Obama is going to have to intentionally f*ck up REAL hard to NOT get re-elected , if she runs for 2012 - assuming the GOP picks her as the contender

Maybe she wants to take over for Steele as head of the RNC?

/Random speculation stops once she offers an explanation

Very nice, Doctor Funkenstein

M-o-o-n that spells Palin 20twelventy!

The Fourth Karamazov: I can't wait to see how this decision is going to be hailed as brilliant by the talk radio hosts. Has anyone ever resigned their office to focus on the Presidency 3 years out?

She needs 3 years to prepare for that 3 am phonecall.

at80eighty: Obama is going to have to intentionally f*ck up REAL hard to NOT get re-elected , if she runs for 2012 - assuming the GOP picks her as the contender

That's true. Palin will have to run against RON PAUL.

Adjective Bird Whiskey: This frees her up to act out that fantasy I have about her and Jane Seymour.

That is strangely erotic when thought about.

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


THIS. And it's the media's fault, too. Or maybe she's taking this time to learn how to read, so she's better prepared for Katie next time.

WhyteRaven74: I loove those analogy pics.

LOL, tune into Fox News!

They're saying she resigned because of David Letterman!

Sym_pathetic: Fox is saying that "political operatives" were digging up dirt on her in Alaska.

Least those shovel ready projects are finally employing people.

She said something about that in her speech.

I thought she was just referring to the myth about Obama sending lawyers to dig up dirt during the campaign. Maybe not.

I've heard the words: "Palin and Buckle" more today, then in the entire script of "Nailin' Palin"

me_the_farker: This make no sense even for republicans.

Do Republicans think that people would vote for people for President who don't hold some kind of office.

Romney, Huckabee, Palin, will be going around saying vote for me, I haven't done anything in 3+ years except biatch and complain about Obama i'm better than a sitting President.

Come on....

They already tried everything that makes sense to them... this may actually be a spark of some original thinking.

eqtworld: She must have raped, killed, or raped someone.

FTFY. I hear she likes rape.

Lost Thought 00: Maybe she wants to take over for Steele as head of the RNC?

that... would be interesting. the two of them getting into a power struggle would be delicious to see.
