My favorite quote:
“I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we’ve been charged with and automatically throw them out,” she said.
What, no “you betcha!”?
Looking at the spin she’s putting on this reaffirms what I said upthread: she’s going to play the not-a-politician card along with the darn-librul-media potatoes. All the way to the bank.
No panty day?
For all those confused by her basketball metaphor, this diagram should help. 
I heard she goes commando under those chest waders.
Does anybody have a link to the Anderson Cooper interview with her spokesperson? There was an exchange that went something like this:
M Stapleton: Why just today we received countless offers.
Cooper: Which ones?
Stapleton: More than you can imagine.
Cooper: Name one.
Maybe she was talking about credit card preapprovals.
I saw that interview. AC kept saying “what kind of offers are you talking about? Like TV shows? What do you mean?”
Palin’s yap dog wouldn’t really answer the question, she was saying stuff like “Oh—everything you can THINK of,” but wouldn’t cite a specific example.
Like the magazines and newspaper that Palin read during the campaign … just … ya know … all of 'em.
For great justice!!
Here’s a link to the Anderson Cooper/Meg Stapleton interview.
Anderson doesn’t get the “point guard” analogy because “I don’t know anything about sports.” Andy and his code.
Truly, Sarah Palin may be the stupidest woman I have ever encountered.
Tom Tomorrow weighs in:
Well, this confirms it. Ann Coulter has weighed in and claims that is was a brilliant move by Palin. By definition, this means of course that it was an incredibly boneheaded move.
She didn’t know it would be “such a darn big deal.”
She didn’t know that a governor resigning is a big deal? I’m speechless.
+1 for Coulter making a reference to the Mongolian capital.
I walked into my research team meeting this morning and told them that I was stepping down, but I wasn’t quitting.
Just watched the Anderson Cooper interview with Meg Stapleton. That was surreal.
Anyone else think a Palin/Limbaugh deathmatch for the right to preside over the death of the GOP would draw a huge pay-per-view buyrate?
I daresay that’s because you’re politically astute. You’re also not part of her core audience. I’m not talking about the audience who would vote for her because they like her politics/apparent platform, but the audience who would pay to read her (now, don’t laugh) book or hear her speak because they like or relate to the persona, the down home winking political outsider who’s unfairly attacked by the librul media doncha know. The Joe-the-Plumber audience member who loves sloganeering and may be able to, but chooses not to be think too critically.
I swear if no scandal breaks, this is all part of a continuation of victimhood (gotcha media, etc.) she’s played all along, all part of the mavericky goodness that she oozes, all part of the faux anti-establishment/anti-elitist marketing hype she’s been peddling. Sometime soon she’s going to say something along the lines of “just because I didn’t do what the mainstream media and Washington elite wanted me to do – resign on their schedule, call them to my press conference – they chose to attack me.”
Doncha know.
*“I’m not going to take the comfortable path. I’m going to take the right path for the state,” she said of her resignation, which she characterized as a matter of progressing in an unconventional way.
“That caught people off guard. … It’s out of the box and unconventional. That’s what we are as Alaskans and certainly how I am as a public servant.”*
Ha ha ha! You’re killing me, Sarah. Stop it!
…moving forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, *twirling *towards freedom.
(Given that it was Sarah, that should probably have been FREEDOM.)
The best part is she believes the “right path for the state” involves her not being in charge of it.
