Actually, those folks can string a sentence together. St. Sarah can't.

Buh bye, Sarah. You have a Happy 4th now, ooh-kay?

:WARNING:

I was just permanently banned from the Sean Hannity forum because I posted a thread about the possibility of Palin resigning due to shenanigans with the construction company.

Apparently, unless your post is packed with insults against "libs," "Obammy," "Obummer," and your responses to legitimate questions backed up with links to sources isn't the equivalent to "Hey, look over there... a Democrat did something bad at some point, too!", you will be kicked. What a bunch of crybaby, victimhood loving biatches.

That is all.

i'm not sure you can get a whole hour out of 'lots of dogs'.

maybe with guests. that aren't dogs.

Benevolent Misanthrope: Oh - I hope this is true. If for no other reason than to have Joel McHale eviscerate her on a weekly basis.

He'd have to create a new category on the show for her. It wouldn't be fair for her to own "kickass clip of the week" or "let's talk about chicks man" forever.

More than likely able to outrun the Farkers complaining here

Maddow graduated at age 20 from Stanford, earning a Rhodes Scholarship along the way and holds a PhD (DPhil) in PolySci from Oxford She's hardly the vacuous, incomprehensible, willfully ignorant type as is Palin. I'd say she has a hell of lot of credibility on matters of politics given her past record of success in the area.

Well-educated? Yeah, obviously. "Success in the area"? Wouldn't you have to either win an election (even a primary) or or run a successful campaign (even a primary) in order to have "success in the area" of politics?
This Palin move is very curious to me, but comparing the "success in the area" of politics of a talking head who happened to get an Oxford degree with someone who has won two elections, one statewide; is pretty silly.

Beast FTW

I don't find this UNLIKELY at all.

Suddenly, a talk show for her makes a little sense. Better option than that whole 2012 thing, I suspect....

DeaH: I work with poeple who would gladly follow her to the ends of the earth. A Palin Power Hour would be must-see tv for them.

Holy shiat.

The Palin Power Hour.

Half religion, half political talk. All mushed together.

Like the 700 club meets Glen Beck.

Sarah Palin can contribute more to American Politics with a direct line to the public, rather than relying on the media filter.

Hahahaha you win. Holy shiat.

She's holding onto lots of people who like the way she talks, so a show on Fox would keep all of them enthralled with talk about the latest MSM doings, palling around with terrorists, and every assault against the real Americans and everything they hold dear.

No, I wouldn't watch it, but it's a proven fact you can have a successful show without me.

Do you mean without Fox filtering out all of the negatives?

You know Fox - the cable news network that is on 24 hours per day that beats all other cable news networks in the ratings. COMBINED.

Conservative talk radio, heard by tens of million of people per day? That media filter?

The WSJ, NY Post or Fox Broadcast network? Those media filters?

She's living proof that the office of court jester is timeless.

I cannot tell you how much she has entertained me over the past year. It's invaluable. I wish Obama would appoint her to some harmless position just so we could see more of her.

soy_bomb: More than likely able to outrun the Farkers complaining here

That's it? That's all you've got? One of the most epic fails in political history is happening as we speak, and the best retort you can come up with is "you sound fat"?

Benevolent Misanthrope: Beast FTW

You flat-arched, pronator!!!

darkhorse23: But I've read some backstory stuff overnight and it seems she's about to be indicted on embezzlement charges along with Todd and the construction company that built both their house and the big community center/show arena in Wasilla

But then there's this odd thing going on with Sean Parnell's replacement for Lt. Gov. It was supposed to be the commissioner of Corrections, Joe Schmidt, however that's been changed and now it's Greg Campbell the commissioner of Veteran's affairs. Kinda making me start to wonder if something actually came of the "Prison-gate" stuff.

Mentat: One of the most epic fails in political history is happening as we speak, and the best retort you can come up with is "you sound fat"?


Yes, the Obama Administration is ranking right up there.

I can hear her now, after the accusations are lain:

"I PAID EVERY BILL SBS SENT TO ME."

/wonder if she'll wear a Hulk tie....

I used to like ariels, the women's version of the beast. Now I like the Saucony Grid Stabil II, and they cost $30 less.

A person who has done nothing wrong has nothing from which to run away.

A person who has done nothing wrong but runs away to escape wrong accusations lacks fundamental leadership requirements.

Success in the area of political analysis, dummy.

What are the Possibles?

Seeking another job (presidential run, fox news host):
Quitting a governorship mid-term leads to the label "quitter" and the concern "if she would quit the governorship because things got tough, what prevents her from quitting as president".
Moving to a non-public-service job (Fox news) is the kiss of death for any future run at office.

(It seems unlikely)

Scandal:
This would have to be a scandal of the form/size we haven't seen before. The standard response for governors and statesmen is to hunker down, deny everything, rinse and repeat.

(I just don't see it)

Family emergency:
We are not talking about pregnancy, here, she has shown that she is willing to run for office while being pregnant.
We are talking about something on the level of cancer, Tony Snow levels of cancer to quit so suddenly.

Certainly anything is possible, especially with someone who has such high levels of maverickyness as she, but I don't see "leaving mid term" as being an irrational decision, rather she has all the pieces to the puzzle and her actions somehow logically fit.

Lastly, has anyone considered how erratic Palin's last two months have been in the media? Maybe this is more evidence of a strain on her/family that might help fill in some of the empty areas of the puzzle.

soy_bomb: Benevolent Misanthrope: Beast FTW

Meh, shaddup, ya neutral, light pronator.

Why on earth would you now expect her to have a "standard response?"

She's a diva and a power freak. Whatever is coming is something she doesn't control. If she can't control it, she doesn't want it. It's in keeping with her past.

I tried Ariels, but the Beast last just fit me better. I should try the Saucony, though. Beasts are expensive, even on sale.

keithgabryelski: What are the Possibles?

In all of these, you're assuming that Sarah Palin acts rationally. Which may be too big of an assumption.

Maybe she's stepping down to renew her marriage vows with Todd. Sometimes a woman just wants to get re-todded.

Still waiting for "Nailin Paylin 2"

/taps foot

She MAY appear on Fox to promote her version of the scandal and again next year to promote her book and THEN, MAYBE, make occasional appearances to agree with the hosts("Oh yes, Sean, those liberals are awful!")

She will never have a talk show because, despite her "education", she CAN'T TALK.

She will move to the lower 48 and make a lot of money reading speeches that someone else will write for her.

Bah! Mike Huckabee already did the whole former politician turned quai-journalist talking head. Sarah Palin has so much more star potential with her good looks and "Aw shucks" charm. I offer five pitch ideas for sure fire hit vehicle television shows for our favorite Pit Bull in Lipstick.



Codename: Barracuda
Sarah Palin, having the unique position of seeing Russia from her house, is tapped by an elite covert spy organization to infiltrate into Russian territory and spy on the godless and communist sympathetic reindeer and polar bear populations threatening America.

That's Sarah!
An uproarious yet wholesome family sit-com from the makers of Reba, Sarah Palin plays an ex-vice presidential nominated stay at home mom of four. Her next whacky next door neighbor Levi Johnston always comes up with get rich schemes while wooing her wholesome oldest daughter. Her young son Trig, is the precocious wise cracking child genius. The twins Willow the nerdy cute girl and Piper the tom-boy wild one are always creating headaches for the wonder mom.

CSI:Wassila

Sarah Palin trades in her political career and becomes Alaska's best forensic scientist. Using the same prowess she showed as governor she solves the grizzliest crimes imaginable in this gripping police procedural. Her partner is none other than her husband, Todd. Together with their cutting intellect and their unquestioning embracement of science, they keep Alaska safe from murders and rapists from Fairbanks to Nome.

Caribou

This dramedy, from the creators of thirtysomething, look at the trials and tribulations of an ex-governor and her brood as they navigate through the pitfalls of living an upper-middle class life style while maintaining there salt of the earth roots. The series first season arc focuses Sarah's embezzlement scandal with a warm wit and charm. You'll laugh and cry often in the same scene.

Northern Lights
While snowmobiling in Denali with Mark Sanford, Larry Craig, John Ensign, Bobby Jindal and the mysterious Sean Hannity, a freak blizzard strikes. After the storm the ragtag group find them lost in a weird snowy perdition where the Northern Lights are always glowing. They must learn to survive together while encountering a menacing threat of a seldom seen socialistic tribe. Why are they trying to steal Bristol's baby? What does the mysterious number 538 mean? This long story arcing series will pose more questions than will ever be answered.

She's lost control.

Number41: keithgabryelski: What are the Possibles?

In all of these, you're assuming that Sarah Palin acts rationally. Which may be too big of an assumption.

People are very quick with the "that chick's insane" and
quickly turn the amp up to eleven.

There are different levels of insanity and she certainly has some. Allowing a rallies to get to the level of vitriol she did is some sort of disorder. The weird ass religious ceremonies are another. The attempts at lying to get around her husband's connection with the secessionists is another.

But she's not barking at the moon mad, though, no matter how the opposition couches each and every one of her actions.

She functions in society as a leader of a state. She has some connection with reality and society and how to "get by".

The question is, even given some erratic behavior, she is capable of making choices that benefit her; given that quitting her job IS A HUGE CHOICE, what are benefits to it (as she sees them) and what could make her make THIS decision in the way that she did: "quitting in 3 weeks, see ya"

... and, ladies and gentlemen, THIS is why the GOP is losing elections. It's full of dolts who think that winning two elections in a complete backwater is the intellectual equivalent to earning Stanford and Oxford degrees.

Keep it up, morons, and continue your slide into a minor regional party.

DeaH: Palin has a degree in journalism. She has been a local newscaster. I thought this would happen after the 2008 election. The kind of numbers she would bring in would be huge for cable news - I work with poeple who would gladly follow her to the ends of the earth. A Palin Power Hour would be must-see tv for them.

Doesn't KBR or Halliburton need another shill in D.C.? That would pay more than Fox News talking head show. But a show on Fox would be great politically- for the Democrats.
She is a dummy, plain and simple.

This is NOT about money. She can run the convention circuits for that.

This is a logical (in some way) reaction to a specific problem (read my post, above).
