Palin Resignation Splits GOP

Politico:

Even those who were less critical of her choice were taken aback by Palin's rambling, hard-to-follow news conference by the side of a lake outside her home. The performance had shades of Richard Nixon's "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore" news promise in 1962, as well as Mark Sanford's bizarre exercise in self-revelation just last month.

Maybe she can lead those followers to Guyana and start a "Palintown". Hint to those younger than 30, think Jonestown.

[jillsond]

They'd follow. Guaranteed.

For the men and the women who appreciate other women and for those who just like a good song.

Some folks are saying " Palen tried to help ' Get Amercia back from what and who "
Do any of these folks realize that we have had a GOP Pres for 20 long years - many with a GOP Congress ? Reagan / Bush Sr - W who's policies of deregulation - trillions in tax cuts to fat cats- and a war we were lied into- planted the seeds to this giant crisis ? Or do they really think Obama did all this in 6 months ! NOT It all began in 1981- with Reagan's deregulation policy - then Bush & W kept it going strong. Do any of these people use critical thinking skills- or do they just ' mimic ' the GOP agenda ? It truly scary how ill informed the far right has become. Facts have NO meaning to them.

As I read your questions and nod, I think of the following:

Don't confuse me with the facts, I've got my mind made up!

[judiNJ]

How right you are. I watched with my very own two eyes.

[rbarry647]

Face it Alaska, she just isn't that into you.
It's not you, it's her.

[ladynaga]

Classic

[foxistoofunny]

I'm being a bad girl and tr0lling over at the fox SP site. My bad, but it's just to tempting today. The SP fans make it too easy.

[ladybastet]

our cougar is prowling the tr0IIs in their own backyard *grin*

[judiNJ]

I have often thought it would be fun for hundreds of us to tr0ll over there.

Ponderus: rich misty -- as usual, spectacular research. I hope this is true!

Thankies :-)

It's true... It's the only explanation that fits all of the facts. I was on this October of last year when the story first came out and I dug and dug back then to get all the background I could... There is a lot of meat here.

I am very rarely wrong on stuff like this. The only time I have missed during the entire Bush adminstration was on the Rarl Kove indictment for the Plame affair, and that was very, very close... Kove appeared 5 times in front of the Grand Jury and it is unheard of to make that many appearances and not get stuck with paper. Compared to that incident, this case is cut and dried already.

[rich misty]

Plus, the very last thing I would want to do is discredit myself in front of all you fine people... I would be seriously embarrassed and chagrined. It's easier on me to just say nothing and let events transpire than it is to make false or worthless predictions. But I would bet on money on this indictment, and one thing my good friends, and family, have learned about me... Never, ever, take a bet with me ;-)

No... When I saw the breaking news on http://www.ktuu.com/ , and they were the first reliable source I could identify..­. I knew there was one, and only one reason for Sarah Palin to act the way she has. I told our very own Ladybastet here exactly what had happened, and why... And doggonit, that's my story and I am sticking to it!!!

My educated guess is that an indictment has already been issued and has been sealed by the prosecutor. Sealed indictments are often used in high profile cases where they give the prosecutor authority and leverage against perps prior to arrest warrants being processed. The kind of authority and leverage that can convince a sitting governor to resign and get affairs in order. Sealed indictments were used a lot in the case built by Patrick Fitzgerald as he worked to the top and popped Gov. Ryan (R) in Illinois.

Kudos on all your research. I'm glad you are still posting here.

[rbarry647]

Can't wait to see the spin doctors whirl themselves after this hits the fan

[foxistoofunny]

The Wasilla house? I give it until 8/1/09 before papers are served.

I agree, within a week or two at most of her official transfering the office over.

Update [2009-7-3 23:57:54 by Glic]:EdwardTeller at FiredogLaake says:

Update: This just in my inbox, from a source connected sometimes to CNN:

"Here's a quote I got from law enforcement here in Alaska yesterday afternoon regarding Palin "a criminal indictment is pending authorizat­ion."

I know Edward Teller and I have blogged with him. I consider his sources to be reliable.

[ladybastet]

[GOPonEllisDee]

I'm usually not violent, but was I the only that, after hearing her voice...wa­nted to slap her till she cried?

[jillsond]

She's not capable of crying. But yeah, me too!!

[GOPonEllisDee]

Cool! I also have the same reaction to Nancy Grace's voice...bu­t I think more along the lines of running her over with a large truck.

[rubygreen]

She almost did cry, once at the speech after the election results, and in this speech when she talked about the national media "pick pick picking".

[ladynaga]

Can I just throw my high heels at her?

[AmericanWarrior]

You mean she wasn't crying?... shaZammmmmm! ! !

[whatthel]

it can be grating on the nerves.

[ThatOne4Me]

lol

[Rumplestiltskin]

Night all.
Time for illegal fireworks with my boy.
And for you sexy H P ladies. See you laiter. You know where.

[Midnightrain]

Why are we talking about Sarah on Independence Day?
Is she the symbol of Freedom?

Ugh.

[ladybastet]

good point!

it's the thread we all sorta met at that didn't have strict m0ding going on

[rampage]

Well she is kinda free now.

[GOPonEllisDee]

The other threads aren't moving at all.

[probo]

[Midnightrain]

No scandal here.
The frontier woman has been given the signal to step aside.
It's really that simple.

[HumeSkeptic]

No scandal yet.

[bubbuh]

I heard that she really likes designer scandals in red.

[rampage]

[flamom4obama]

I just got pended so I'm trying again.

If I repeat myself, my apologies.

I said, I'm going to drink to Sarah tonight and light fireworks in her honor. Kind of a symbolic way of recreating her bl0wing herself up.

Bye bye barracuda.

[ladynaga]

I'll join you. Clink and cheers

[flamom4obama]

Cheers!

Family just showed up, so I'm outta here!

'1976' the year of my birth =)

[rampage]

And the year of our countries bicentennial.
And the year my friends and I rented a winnebago and went to mardi gras.
I remember that trip like it was yesterday.

[foxistoofunny]

1976 year of Dazed and Confused, which was myself at my high school gradumacation.

[AmericanWarrior]

Great year.
