This is going to be awesome!!!

Lumi: Bwahaha. The guy filling in for Sean Hannity thinks she's resigning to "go run a major corporation."
into the ground.

Genevieve Marie: I hate when people get all excited about the idea of her running because it's a sure victory for Democrats. Yes, I'm a liberal, yes I voted for Obama... but I hate the idea of going into a presidential race with one candidate who is so completely pathetic I can't even handle the possibility that they MIGHT win. I'd prefer a legitimate Republican candidate get the nomination so we can have some semblance of a real election.

You mean you'd like to calmly discuss the issues and making a rational choice? Where's the fun in that?

"You know, just because I went on a national tour telling everyone to be angry and resentful... I don't see why people don't like me."

phenn:
It's always C
Plus, she can hook up with hot babysitters.

I was reaching by this point in that thread. Only funny if you watch a lot of House.

WhileAmericaBurns: I wonder what kind of hate Islamofascist terrorists are, liberal or conservative?

Um, actaully Al-Qaeda is a fundamentalist conservative organization. And so is the Taliban.

/really.

12349876: NewportBarGuy: Great, the Daily Show and Colbert have the week off, right? Goddammit so much!

Letterman, Ferguson, and Conan are new next week and they should all have something to say, especially Letterman.

Happy happy joy joy!

From_The_Year_2000: Hopefully Romney. He's the only one that has even a chance

The fundamentalists would never back a Mormon. Huckabee is more likely than Romney. Romney would be a smarter choice, though.

I think it's still possible to see Jeb Bush as a candidate which after the 8 years of W, would be one of the most idiotic things imaginable.

brainiac-dumdum: Andrea Mitchell is saying Palin is backing out of politics all together.

I could see her going into the entertainment business. She could be the Oprah for batsh*t white trash fundies.

sgilman: Palin tweet:

"We'll soon attach info on decision to not seek re-election... this is in Alaska's best interest, my family's happy... it is good, stay tuned"

She apparently doesn't understand the difference between resigning and not seeking re-election.

Who said she wasn't running for re-election? This IS Palin we are talking about.

if she really is out of politics, this is bad news for Democrats.

i was counting on her being around a while.

Sgt Otter: robsul82: LOL, tune into Fox News!

They're saying she resigned because of David Letterman!

SRSLY? Do they have any idea how bad that makes her sound? The "Commander-in-Chief of the Alaska National Guard" cutting and running over a dumb joke?

That they even didn't get right?

WhileAmericaBurns: jso2897: Triaxis: And here come the haters.. there's no hate like liberal hate. Follow your marching orders, lemmings.

It's true. Liberal hate doesn't involve blowing up children in O.K.City, shooting down doctors, or massacring church congregations. It's like conservative hate, only without the bullets!

I wonder what kind of hate Islamofascist terrorists are, liberal or conservative?

/Classifying terrorism as "liberal" or "conservative" is so asinine

Too bad their classifying hate, not terrorism. Nice attempted threadjack though. 1/10.

Andrea Mitchell is reporting that sources close to Sarah Palin are saying Palin is leaving public service.

I will try and find a link.

So is classifying "hate" as such. BTW - when you say "islamofascist" - other people's estimate of your intelligence drops by about half.

Well, it's not as appropriate as it was, but I'm still pretty proud of it.



Killface didn't quit.

wow, fox news is really going balls out right now. they've repeated the phrase "take her at her word" and "don't read too much into this" dozens of times.

shower_in_my_socks: Who's career will self-implode next?

You forgot Ensign and Huntsman.

Here is the Vanity Fair article that the press continually is bringing up today.

Murphyr: For serious.

I, I, I have no words. I can't wrap my mind around the idea anyone thinks this is a step towards a presidential run in '12.

SilentStrider: as a Phillies fan, I am insulted by that image.

*snort*

Wombatzu: Kristol is very much abot setting up airhead, populist, proto-fascist puppets.

I know, but to support Palin is the political equivalent of going full retard. You never go full retard.

Hender: I was reaching by this point in that thread. Only funny if you watch a lot of House.

well, i liked it.

/seen every damn episode

Sarah Palin must have found out about Obama's real birth certificate and threatened to reveal the truth. So the Illuminati forced her to step down. It all makes sense now.

LOL this is what happens when your only political/media advisor of note is Bill Kristol.

That or the scandal is on par with Todd having Greta van Susteren's husband as a gay lover, or she killed Michael Jackson, or something. Because resigning in the late afternoon in Eastern time, the day before the 4th of July, after a week of Marco Sanford's Argentine soul mate affair, and three days before Michael Jackson's gigantic live-broadcast (I assume) funeral, makes it appear something REMARKABLY SCANDALOUS is underlying this decision because it's trying so hard to be buried from the headlines. Why? Why does she need the cover of so many competing headlines for her resignation, especially after she got so much negative press earlier this week? It makes it look like either she's burying something HUGE or she's a pussy who can't take any criticism; "Screw you guys, I'm going home."

Anyway, for old times:

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

yeah... that's what's happening in this thread. yeah, that's the ticket!

And now Fox compares her to George Washington.

I made it five minutes on Fox News, a new record!

/Click

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....

Right...but he didn't completely abandon his responsibilities 3 years in advance.

Neither did Bush...or Clinton...or JFK...

And on another note - what's with the troll usage of "Barry" when referring to the president? Do they not believe that a black man should be able to use whatever name he wants?

And that's not just race-baiting - show a white guy that gets called a nickname that he last as a kid.

Some people STILL won't call the former Cassius Clay by his name...yet they still call the man with the birth name of Marion Morrison by the name he chose.

buzzvert: Anyone else notice that she's holding that fishing pole upside-down? That's not the way you hold a rod with a spincast reel... it doesn't work that way.

FISHING FAIL FTW!

it is if you're a lefty using a right-handed reel. you just can't cast like that. the reel still works the other way around.

shivashakti: From_The_Year_2000: Hopefully Romney. He's the only one that has even a chance

I'll go to work full time for the Democrats against JEB!

How about Charlie Crist?

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




/thanks for the blank Doctor Funkenstein

NobleHam:

Her resignation speech, for those interested

Thank you.

gilgigamesh: Andrea Mitchell is reporting that sources close to Sarah Palin are saying Palin is leaving public service.

thomps: wow, fox news is really going balls out right now. they've repeated the phrase "take her at her word" and "don't read too much into this" dozens of times.

Has Palin read into anything? Ever?

What a farking pussy, "Politics are hard."

So instead of buckling down and doing some serious studying to develop the knowledge base needed to be successful, she just quits.

She's an embarrassment to all women.

NobleHam: Her resignation speech, for those interested

She's talking about basketball for fux sake.

Fox News is running heavily with the concept that this is the start of the 2012 campaign. And John Culberson (R-TX) claims that quitting halfway through a governorship is the kind of perseverance that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and that the country will vote overwhelmingly for her.

In other news, he's on something.

"the louder the liberal squack, the more likely the republican candidate is to be the nominee." keep it up jerks.

Wow is her speech rambling. I vote scandal.

jso2897: WhileAmericaBurns: jso2897: Triaxis: And here come the haters.. there's no hate like liberal hate. Follow your marching orders, lemmings.

Why? It's what they are.

shower_in_my_socks: Who's career will self-implode next?

Jindal? How did Jindal's career self-implode?

Oprah is the Antichrist, and Palin is Fenris/Fenrir.

To wit:

"Due to the gods' knowledge of prophecies foretelling great trouble from Fenrir and his rapid growth, the gods bound him, and as a result Fenrir bit off the right hand of the god Týr."

Here you go everybody. Stock up before 2012. These will be a hot commodity:

Sym_pathetic: Has Palin read into anything? Ever?

she's read into absolutely everything that's been set in front of her. you should know that by now.

My last one.

Murphyr: And John Culberson (R-TX) claims that quitting halfway through a governorship is the kind of perseverance that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and that the country will vote overwhelmingly for her.

Ah ha ha ha haa

brainiac-dumdum: What a farking pussy, "Politics are hard."

She's an embarrassment to all women.

And now you know why she needed to attend 6 universities till she found the easiest right one.
