Technically, she didn’t complete her term of service. Can we use the honorific Quitter instead?

Calling Sarah Palin a “retard” is insulting to the mentally handicapped – they prefer to not be associated with someone that stupid. The politically correct term for Palin is “fucktard.”

The only difference is that when E. F. Hutton talks people listen and when S.C. Palin talks people say “huh?.”

I have a question for the former half-term Governor.

Ms Palin: If you were Vice President and tragedy struck the Oval Office, would you resign in favor of a more qualified candidate? I’m only asking because I thought your campaign implied as much.
