But Sarah Palin quit!

So…something shorter? Like say “the twit”.

I see what you did there …

Just in case any of you were missing Sarah and her whiny voice, here’s the trailer for her new series on TLC.

Then how do you explain this?

It’s unarguable that Nixon quit. He did it because he knew he would be impeached and, most likely, convicted (even his biggest defender on the Watergate committee – Edward Gurney – said he would have voted for conviction). Nixon knew that the trial would be bad for the country, so he accepted the inevitable (and probably was thinking about his future – he’d do better if he resigned than if he were the only president removed from office).

I think the proper etiquette in the case of Ms. Palin is to refer to her as Governor, but make “air quotes” when saying it. Rolling of the eyes is optional.
