What Palin was trying to say in her standard incoherent way was:
‘I’m such an ethics free zone and my husband such a dumb ass little shit we’re just bound to get caught at something if we’re left in a position where temptation just walks up to your door and knocks so it’s just better we go now and save you all the legal fees. Doncha know.’
She should stick to what she’s good at. Making movies. 
But all of them left to move to more prestigious Federal jobs. She is quitting to do…nothing. Not really the same thing, now is it?
Sure; we’ll take Alaska.
Vermont, too.
Only a right wing nut could twist this as a positive. She hung a “gone fishing” sign on her office and walked. How could she dream of running for president now? Does she not remember the crap Clinton went through.?Does she really think it would get easier? Even though she would have access to the "White House Legal department ",there. I understand the repubs are desperate for a party leader. She is not the one. She will only continue to be an embarrassment.
Here’s an observation: we’ve been on the road now since May 24th. We have Alaska plates on both the car and motorhome. Not once have I been asked about Sarah Palin, nor has she been even obliquely referred to by anybody I’ve spoken with, even here in Redneck Center West, Montana. Perhaps we’ll hear something when we venture into the bible belt, but we talk to people from all over the US in these parks. Could it be that the obsession with her is all media driven, and the reality is that few people give a shit about a second-rate politician from Alaska? Say it ain’t so, Joe.
I just saw a post on Mudflats that compared Palin’s grasp of the English language to that of Darryl Hannah’s character in “Splash.” I think the commenter may be on to something. Has anyone really checked in to the possibility that Sarah Palin is actually a mermaid? Spawned upstream in the Pacific Northwest, granted legs by some passing octo-witch? This would explain her hostility to those political elites she’s always railing against. All she ever wanted was to be part of their world.
saoirse, if Palin’s a mermaid, she must’ve gotten kicked out of the clan. They couldn’t stand her dumb ass either.
“…stopped pretending to do stuff.” Because, really, what has she actually done since returning to Alaska? Give a bunch of interviews, jot down to the Lower 48 a few times, let her lawyers fight the ethics charges, give some lip service to coming up with a budget. And…?
Even before being picked for the VP nom, weren’t legislators there asking “Where’s Sarah?” on a regular basis, even having buttons made up?
Good! Very, very, VERY good. Maybe we’ll get the entertainingly awesome duo of Palin/Bachmann '12 yet!
Have strangers, solely upon noting your license plates, come up to you and asked about other Alaska-related subjects?
Right wing nuts are all that’s left of the Repub party. Why would they get off the merry go round? But when election time comes and they have to start cobbling together groups to make a run at the Dems, they better be far away from Palin. She is a thin skinned, not bright quitter. She plays a dangerous game in regards to ethics. She shows an urge to abuse her power. She would not survive a life investigation like presidential candidates have to go through. She would feel like she was being picked on.
Say, does this salmon look rancid to you?
Absolutely. People make a point of coming up to us and are always asking about what to see there, how the roads are up through Canada, where to stay, the fishing, the wildlife, gas prices, food prices, nearly everything EXCEPT politics. I always brace myself for THE question, as I’m usually not very polite when it comes to Alaska politics or politicians, but it has yet to come up. And no, I don’t have any birkenstocky, granola-crunchy, backpacky, librul elitist, socialist bumper stickers on my vehicles that would warn somebody off.
Good news: it only costs $8 trillion ISK. Bad news: that’s Eve ISK.
I suspect she must have a clipping service/Google search in a macro to find the places where she and her kids are being insulted around the clock. I certainly didn’t see much except when her kid decided to back abstinence education - and of course the lame Letterman joke.
It makes me laugh to see Republicans who no doubt were calling Obama a secret Muslim/Socialist/non-citizen writing to the paper to say how poor Sarah quit because she couldn’t take the heat.
So, one would assume that if you are the Governor and you only haved a few weeks left before you quit “for the good of the state” you wouldn’t be out wasting your time fishing and would instead be, oh, I don’t know, working.
How about Michigan? We’re right on the border. We already love hockey and would be the best chance for a canadian team to win the cup. We’re even governed by a canuck already.
If you won’t take us, how about just taking back Granholm?
I might’ve missed a post of yours somewhere. Are you just taking a trip around the Lower 48 or are you moving down here?
Both. We sold our house in May and have been traveling since then. We’re in Kalispell, MT at the moment and plan to spend another few weeks exploring Montana. Then on to MN/WI, then New England, then down, then over to the Southwest, then back up to the Northwest to look for a home.
I can recommend Ipswich, Massachusetts, as a darn fine place to live. 
I disagree.
When she’s elected in 2012, we will have to endure her for a total of 7 years.
The Decline of the Republic, indeed.
Fuck.
