Think back to the State of the Union response.

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

Self-implode is a bit strong, but he was widely mocked for his...odd... response to Obama's speech, and hasn't really been heard from on the national stage since then.

tedbundee: Just to keep the race close, the Democrats should get Gary Coleman to run against her.

Are you kidding? I remember what happened when Sheriff Buck thought someone wasn't giving him the support he deserved. I do not want to be on his bad side.

I will try and find a link.


I haven't found a link yet, but the guy subbing for Hannity just reported this twice.

Again: Andrea Mitchell says sources close to Sarah Palin is permanently leaving public office. Which would mean no presidential run.

If so, the wailing and gnashing of teeth shall be epic.

I'm betting it's this. I can't imagine the GOP over night realized what a liability having her in the spotlight is.

His response to Obama's budget speech got panned on both sides of the aisle. "Volcano monitoring" now brings to mind Kenneth the "30 Rock" intern's stint as a politician.

WTF is a "squack"?

trev29: Wow is her speech rambling. I vote scandal.

You're clearly not listening closely enough to the Fox News guy. That speech was from the heart and that's part of why everyone loves her. Don't worry if you missed it; he's repeating it every few minutes.

This thread is a lot of liberal butthurt over someone who lost.

Have you heard anything from or about him since his piss-poor performance as the official responder to Obama's big speech months ago? He burned out fast.

rufus-t-firefly: 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?

Would you prefer B. Hussein Obama?

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

How about all the libruls who referred to Bush as Shrub?

brainiac-dumdum: 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.


She's an embarrassment to women, but not for the reason you imply. She just feels that if she actually has to do something useful and difficult--like run a state in economically hard times--it will chew up so much of her time to do the attention whoring necessary to be a presidential candidate. OTOH, she could get good notices by running her state well, but that would be harder than hitting the rubber chicken circuit.

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

Killface didn't quit.



Once Palin cures global warming, I'll take another look at her.

And Killface did quit...but it's because he wasn't qualified Constitutionally, while she's just not qualified at all.

so, to sum up: politics is hard, so she's quitting after only a couple of years... and like such as.

to quote a fellow farker who was responding to my saying we dodged a bullet last november: "no; it's more like we stepped over a slowly rolling bullet."

scary part is that Palin would likely give Obama a run for his money in 2012.
