Wow – thanks!!!
My prediction: she plays the “being a mother of a special-needs child is a higher calling than Governor” card to explain why she quit and to make anybody who criticizes her anti-motherhodd.
They make it in the quitchen.
I still am having trouble believing she is a journalism major. That last speech was rambling and incoherant. It’s posted on her website. I know she speaks in that funny way, but she writes that way, too. She should get a speech writer.
Somebody has to be at the bottom of the graduating class.
Hopefully she’ll move on to her new role as Sarah the Quilter and we need never hear from her again unless she wins the blue ribbon at the county fair.
Well, well, well – Sarah has been eviscerated by columnist Ronald Kessler over at NewsMax, of all places – see my post in the GD thread for details.
…and a fund raising ad for SarahPAC is showing up on the pages of the Straight Dope. Complete with color photo.
It’s good to see Sarah and friends subsidizing the Fight Against Ignorance (and well as this present snarkfest.)
ISTR that CNN is quoting Palin as saying she’s “not a quitter.”
OK, thanks Gov Palin for explaining why you quit your job.
I Am Not A Quitter, I Am A Fighter (CNN) … Sarah Palin says after she resigns as Governor and goes fishin’.
This is interesting:
So somebody makes a bad joke and she needs a break after two and a half years, so she just quits? And she apparently thinks that eight years in the White House would be a cakewalk. . . Just the sort of person you’d want to hire for the most stressful job on the planet.
Two and a half years in the public eye in Alaska is like thirty-eight years in the public eye in Washington, I hear.
Yes, suddenly resigning in a bizarre, hurried, incoherent press conference on the 4th of July is a perfect way to get comedians to stop making fun of you.
You all go ahead and laugh it up while you can. When Our Lady of the Tundra is President, she will have THE DEPARTMENT OF LAW take care of you!!!
That’s not a cleverly-put-together parody news site, is it? Is that an actual ABC News story? Did I get whooshed?
Because…that can’t be real, can it? She actually said that the department of law at the White House would take care of her ethics violation investigations if she were to become President? Really?
Well, in fairness, the DOJ and White House counsel did a pretty good job insulating W and Cheney from legal action and Congressional subpoenas and the like… but yeahhhhh.
I hear she really resigned because the Alaskan Department of Money is having trouble funding necessary state programs.
It does betray a naivete about the federal system, but I will cut her a little slack, as she is probably confusing the White House hierarchy with the Alaska Dept. of Law.
Only during the summer. Or the winter. Okay, I forget which.
I guess she means the Justice Department. It sounds like somebody tried to explain the Cabinet to her during the Presidential campaign, and now she vaguely remembers one of the Departments as having something to do with “the law.”
She might have understood enough to get that the JD is under Executive jurisdiction, and therefore thinks that if she got into the White House, she could just order the Justice Department to stop all state and federal investigations of her.
I find her use of the term “the adversaries,” (evidently some sort of vague, collective reference to anyone who doesn’t revere Sarah palin) interesting. I wonder if she knows that’s meaning of he word “Satan” in Hebrew. She’s totally the type who would believe that she was a force of transcendent good being persecuted by Satan’s minions. She has both the NPD and the simpleminded religiosity to see herself that way.
