Glenda Yenta	Sarah Palin resigns as Governor of Alaska		Lead	[-]

I'm enjoying the coverage of this - especially the pundits who are trying to paint this is a brilliant political move. I tend to think there's more to the story and that she's calling it quits when it comes to politics. She said that since she is not seeking a second term, she thought it best to quit at the end of the month instead of having taxpayers waste time and money on a lame duck. In other words, since she's not running for re-election she'll just waste money doing stuff like "overseas trips". Last Edited By: Glenda Yenta Fri, 3-Jul-09 04:30 PM. Edited 1 time.

Excerpt from Glenda's link: Following Palin's announcement, the Democratic National Committee blasted what it called her "bizarre behavior." "Either Sarah Palin is leaving the people of Alaska high and dry to pursue her long shot national political ambitions or she simply can't handle the job now that her popularity has dimmed and oil revenues are down," DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse said. "Either way, her decision to abandon her post and the people of Alaska who elected her continues a pattern of bizarre behavior that more than anything else may explain the decision she made today." A;aska has less than a million people and she never had a lot to do anyhow. I do think what might have gotten to her (and rightfully so) is that the very same neo-cons who pushed her as a Veep candidate way before she could have possibly been experienced enough and proven her ability have all turned on her in a vicious way during the past several months. I'm talking Kristol, Brooks and a few others. V&M's Speakeasy

How about this scenario: Michael Steele is going to get dumped as head of the RNC and the job will go to Palin? Palin's video: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/07/03/palin/index.html#cnnSTCVideo Odd analogy about being a point guard. "No one can draw a clear line between sane and insane. You move that line as you see fit for yourself. No one else can. You'll understand soon... that the one that's insane is this world."

Who else has ever had to put up with anything like this? Hell, that pinko FDR bombed Pearl Harbor just because someone made fun of his dog! If you had a single scrap of decency among you you'd all be ashamed!

Excerpt: Sarah's Straight Talk Article Tools Sponsored By By GAIL COLLINS Published: July 3, 2009 Truly, Sarah Palin has come a long way. When she ran for vice president, she frequently became disjointed and garbled when she departed from her prepared remarks. Now the prepared remarks are incoherent, too. Skip to next paragraph Tony Cenicola/The New York Times Gail Collins David Brooks and Gail Collins talk between columns. All Conversations » Readers' Comments Share your thoughts. "And a problem in our country today is apathy," she said on Friday as she announced her resignation as governor of Alaska. "It would be apathetic to just hunker down and 'go with the flow.' Nah, only dead fish 'go with the flow.' No. Productive, fulfilled people determine where to put their efforts, choosing to wisely utilize precious time ... to BUILD UP." Basically, the point was that Palin is quitting as governor because she's not a quitter. Or a deceased salmon. Sarah Barracuda made her big announcement Friday afternoon on the lawn of her home to an audience that appeared to include only Todd, the kids and the next-door neighbors. Smiling manically, she looked like a parody of the woman who knocked the Republicans dead at their convention. She babbled about her parents' refrigerator magnet, which apparently had a lot of wise advice. And she recalled her visit with the troops in Kosovo, whose dedication and determination inspired her to ... resign. "Life is about choices!" declared the nation's most anti-choice politician. People, what is going on with governors in this country? Are we doomed to see them go bonkers one by one, state by state? The timing of Palin's announcement was extremely peculiar. Not only did she interrupt the plans of TV newscasters to spend the entire weekend pointing out that Michael Jackson is still dead, she delivered her big news just as the nation was settling into Fourth of July celebrations. You'd have thought she didn't want us to notice. "I choose to work very hard on a path for fruitfulness and productivity," she said in a fairly typical moment. "I choose not to tear down and waste precious time, but to build up this state and our country, and her industrious, generous, patriotic free people!" I am reminded of "A Face In The Crowd" a truly great 1950s movie. Andy Griffith played Lonesome Rhodes, the genuwine American demagogue who related to regular people. How they loved him. Sarah Palin is "Lonesome Rhodes!' V&M's Speakeasy Last Edited By: Morticia Addams 7 Fri, 3-Jul-09 10:54 PM. Edited 2 times.

Posts: 565 Sat, 4-Jul-09 09:37 AM	I was talking to my son in Atlanta this morning and he knows what a political hound I am so he gave me his 'take' on the Palin resignation. He said that he read somewhere that the funds for a huge arena built somewhere in Alaska were also used to build Palin's mansion, where she can see "Russia" from her back yard. She has the very same materials that they used for some arena or diverted cash to her home, one or the other. I agree with Earl, I think she is quitting before she is forced into resignation.............. CHARDKAY CATS NEVER LIE ABOUT LOVE...............

Posts: 210 Sat, 4-Jul-09 11:55 AM Noodge	Not a huge arena - just the $12.5 million sports complex she had built as mayor of Wasilla. This one stinks from top to bottom - from the location of the thing (near her, not in town) to the contractors (a bunch of cronies) to Todd's cover story about how he built the house himself. Pretty much the whole smelly deal came out within about 10 minutes of McCain picking her, but the corporate media just let it sit there. Unfortunately for her, the thing was built with a Federal grant. So now that Stevens & Bush are gone, she may get Government housing after all. Last Edited By: Downpuppy Sat, 4-Jul-09 11:59 AM.

I think the kind of tards who think Palin is a very bright 'leader' will make excuses for her lack of responsibility to the office to which she was elected. I smell flop sweat but 'conservatives' won't. They are followers by nature, needing somebody from on high (like Limbaugh) to give them a clue. The 9 Noble Virtues: These virtues are Courage, Truth, Honor, Fidelity, Discipline, Hospitality, Industriousness, Self-Reliance, and Perseverance.

If she is aiming for higher office by doing this, the GOP better think again about her 'staying power' before they nominate her in 2012. I watched her 'resignation' several times and she appears totally disjointed and nervous to me. This is not her usual self-assured, cocky approach to a speech, wonder what's really going on?
