I expect she’ll try to make a big splash in the next election a la post-92 Dan Quayle.
A couple of years after that, someone will try to use her in an ironic SuperBowl commercial.
And that will be it from her.

I am just waiting for her to come out of the closet and then join the Libertarian party.
Very nice!
Gail Collins has an excellent piece in the Pravda Times that thoroughly mocks Palin and her “speech”.

One small bit of underappreciated irony - just two days earlier an interview was released in Runner’s World in which she had bragged about her endurance
Of course in the actual article she also says
Uh, yeah.
I’ve got to chime in with Kimmy here and point out that from FOX’s perspective this makes no sense at all. Whatever their political leanings, FOX is, first and foremost, a broadcasting network. You can hate their politics but you can’t deny their credentials as a broadcaster and producer. They produce slick, professional shows and historically have been ahead of the curve on a lot of things when it comes to making money in TV - hell, this is, after all the Simpsons network. They know what they’re doing when it comes to getting viewers.
They’re NOT going to give a talk show to one of the worst extemporaneous speakers in the English-speaking world, no matter how popular she is among religious wackos. They know damned well the show would draw great ratings for two days and then become a painful embarassment; ratings would stay high for another week as people tuned in to watch the train wreck and then would drop like a stone and they’d have to cancel it amidst a blizzard of lost money and public humiliation.
It’d be like the New York Yankees signing Tiger Woods to play center field.
I suspect the simplest explanation is the right one (once again) and she’s just running away from a brewing scandal.
We don’t want her!
And this
That was rambling and disjointed even by Palin’s low standards. When I was watching it, it reminded me of a COPS episode, when they are are talking to a guy accused of stealing aerosol paint from a hardware store, and the guy swears he didn’t steal any paint, and yes it is all just a big coincidence that he has a circle of silver paint around his mouth and nose, and yes, it is an even bigger coincidence that there is a paper bag with silver paint in it and no he has no idea why there are empty silver cans of paint in the bag seat of his car and oh, hey, by the way, do you have a light, buddy, and better yet do you gotta smoke?
She figured out how to play this angle while in college:
fter graduating from high school in 1982, she enrolled at Hawaii Pacific College in Honolulu. She left after one semester and transferred to North Idaho College, a community college in Coeur d’Alene and spent two semesters as a general studies major in 1983. In 1984, Palin won the Miss Wasilla Pageant,[16][17] then finished third in the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant[18][19] and won a college scholarship and the “Miss Congeniality” award.[14]
In August 1984, she transferred to the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, where her older brother, Charles W. Heath, was majoring in education.[20] After two semesters at UI, Palin returned to Alaska and attended Matanuska-Susitna College, a community college in Palmer, for one term in the fall of 1985. She returned to the University of Idaho in January 1986, where she spent three semesters completing her bachelor’s degree in communications-journalism, graduating in May 1987.[20]
By my count that means she’ll be PotUS after quitting three more jobs.
I can’t see a radio or TV show lasting. Especially radio, for heaven’s sake. The woman has an extremely irritating voice and manner of speaking, and even her most loyal fans would soon realize how it grates on them.
fuck shit ass bitch cunt shoo-be-de-doo-wop
skippity-be-bop, a’Christopher Reeve, Sonny Bono, skis, horses and hittin’ some trees

Maybe she could get a role on 30 Rock or something…
Not only is Sarah a quitter, I heard she’s going to be racing in the Iquitarod.
Run, Sa-rahhhh, runnnnnnn!
The point guard analogy was painfully long and rambling.
A good point guard would quit?

A good point guard knows when to pass the ball so the team can win.(Paraphrase from her “speech”)

It’s okay that you don’t get it, gonzo. Now finish your juice, it’s almost time for your nap.
We don’t want her!
What are you going to do, say she hasn’t the right to join?
As a side note to Sarah: in today’s Anchorage paper, the humor columnist says that Sarah’s attack dog, Meghan Stapleton, is being referred to by many as “Magnum Staplegun”.
