They really need to make a reality tv show about this woman and her family....

[trisha08]

She is a mess. Does anything think she could handle running a national campaign? I don't think so.

[x4faith]

Now that they've called it quits! Can the media do the same?

[doodlebug2]

THAT IS HOW i FEEL

[planetjeffy]

NO. More of Sarah and her family is better - for us Dems.

[Wallysmom]

Something is just not right with this Alaskan Legal Fund that Palin is setting up. It smells bad, It is almost as if she is planning on a legal fight down the road. Something is a brewin'.

[trisha08]

Something is just not right with Palin. That woman is a disaster.

[lmab]

Take a close look at the recent photos of Sarah Palin. Can you see the ugliness in her soul? You betcha!

[CJWebber]

She looks haggard.

This is what happens when you are defined by your looks. When they start to go, as they inevitably do, you are sunk.

[DGarr]

Too much drama. This woman and her family don't belong in national politics.
The American people knew it in November when they voted, and I believe Alaska has also had a wake up call.

[noaxe397]

Is it any wonder this woman can't just get along with others?

Ted Stevens for Governor in 2010!!

[postman606]

You Libs are so scared of Sarah. She's got the model family, ran a great campaign,and has executive experience. She loves God, Guns and Gucci. I think she's Anita Bryant's b@stard child.

[rabiddog6708]

Model family? Her daughter is an unwed high school drop out. She pals around with folks who want Alaska to succeed from the US and she tried to use the powers of her office to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from his job.

[zeezan]

In addition, her husband apparently doesn't work and her oldest son reportedly dropped out of high school and joined the military to avoid jail time. Maybe postsman6o6 was being sarcastic?

[ctman47]

Oh all you pajama-clad, basement-dwelling bloggers. Doncha understand that is busy being
mavericky, progessing America and barging thru all those doors God opened.
She hasn't got time for gittin' money or governin' states. Wink-wink. You betcha.

[SharpDressedMan]

Shame on me. I forgot she can govern the state from her Blackberry :-)

[dennissinned]

We've seen it many times on American Idol. People with awful voices think they're such good singers so they audition for the show only to be laughed at by the entire country. If only politics were just that - a showbiz. But no, millions of people's lives are affected by whomever we elect into office. And as long as there are right wing crazies who think their leaders' major qualification should be their religion, there will always be poorly qualified people like Sarah Palin who don't mind being laughed at as long as they get elected into office by their supporters.

[LemonMeringue]

It's because there's money in sticking around in politics. Sarah Palin makes a fool of herself for months, then gets a multimillion-dollar book deal. Sometimes I cannot stand our culture.

[Decipherer]

I people stopped buyin' those stinkin's books, the market would dry up in classic fashion. Yup, yup . . . you betcha.

Right, Taaaaaahhhd?

[sippewissett]

Palin is the embodiment of The Peter Principle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle), a politician WAY out of her depth.

I curse McCain for his irresponsible choice of VP, but thank heaven for the electorate that made sure she isn't in D.C. now. Instead, she's in "self-destruct mode" because she can't goven...but can't get out of the governorship fast enough to leave behind the mess she is creating.

[sunnyjane]

I think Putin has a secret weapon. He "rears his head," sends planes into Alaskan airspace and drops invisible be-stupid bombs. Of course, he may also be sending these bombs to Minnesota, Ohio, Louisiana, Virginia, Illinois...you get the picture.

[Decipherer]

Putin "rears his head" from time to time, while Sarah "heads her rear" all the time.

[Decipherer]

Keep Virginia out of it, if you don't mind, with the possible exception of Eric "The Red" Cantor. Recall that we've pretty much gotten rid of most of the folks who blew in from Stupid Town, like Ollie North, George "Macacawitz" Allen, and so forth, in addition to ending the presidential ambitions of John McCain, you might recall.

Now, if you'd kindly remove Virginia from your list and replace it with Texas, then you might be on to something.

[Vige]

So agree with you.

[sippewissett]

Give 'em h*ll. Amazing that "rational" Virginia had more influence than the much touted "real" Virginia lauded by Palin and McCain's brother. Everyone thanks you for the turn-around from beltway stupidity to a clear-thinking state.

[ywcachieve]

I have never heard of ANY US governor setting up a 'state trust fund' for him/herself. Un-believable.

[pumpkin]

I'm having trouble keeping track of all these defense funds...

and all these ethics complaints...

and all these childhood friends with important positions, few qualifications, and questionable ethics of their own.

[indy girl]

...and all those grandchildren!

[SharpDressedMan]

Palin needs another defense fund to handle mismanagement of all other funds.

[loudyk]

Hang on....I've got something to say about this! Gotta go get in my P.J.s first.

[ladycubsfan]

Lol. They're in the basement, right? It's okay...We'll wait.
A big part of me wishes that silly Sarah would just go away, and yet I realize we need her to keep our success. Still, I can't help worrying that she will stir sympathy if more people think she is being picked on unfairly. I know she brings it on herself, and YOU know it, but there are some who naturally go for the underdog. I usually do, except in all matters Palin. If this is the best that Alaska has to offer, they're in deep trouble.

[Mugzi]

Yes, I'm all for the underdog in sports, but not politics. I want the brightest, smartest, with good decision-making skills, who has a love for the betterment of the citizens. Haven't we learned that the guy you want to have a beer is not the best qualification for Pres!

[sippewissett]

Palin supporters (and her own husband) frequently use terms like "hater" to describe those who oppose Palin. They NEED to believe that there is envy as the motivator of opposition, rather than dislike of incompetent, unethical, self-absorbed behavior. You can always spot a TeamSarah commenter because of the loaded emotional language they use to support her and to deride critics. In contrast, opponents reference her track record, her behavior in office, her appointments and her own words to sink her.

[clearlythinking]

I wonder who is paying for the Alaska Trust Fund.

[TheRubberRoomHotel]

Alaska Fund Trust.....

Alaska Trust Fund is a different one for commercial fishing....
