Palin Reason For Quitting Appears To Be False

The Plum Line:

One of the chief reasons Sarah Palin has given for resigning as Governor of Alaska is that her state's taxpayers are being forced to spend money defending her government against ethics complaints that would otherwise fund teachers, cops, and road repair.

But in response to our questions, a spokesperson for the Alaska governor's office just gave us new information that casts serious doubt on this assertion. The revelation makes the resignation episode even stranger, and raises fresh questions about the real reasons for her abrupt departure.

Did anyone (rational) believe her in the first place?

[nellie]

We should all know by now that Palin says what she thinks sounds good. If the truth is different, why should she care? She's a star. Ann Coulter said so.

What a surprise! Palin LIED? Really?! You mean all that stuff about doing "what's best for the people of Alaska" was false? I can't believe Holy Sarah, Mother of Trig would ever stoop to such deception.

What campaign promises did Obama keep so far?

[Thelma Richards]

How did Obama get in this? Stick to the issue, please, which is Sarah Palin and her lies about why she quit the governorship.

Not to name you Secretary of anything.

Mission accomplished!

Ah, the best retort you can give is to bring in a completely unrelated topic. Well done.

He promised to be better than Bush and so far he's proved that to me 100%

[MisterHands]

waaahhhhhhhh...mustard.

[chriss0114]

she is bored and tired of playing governor and wants to go home and start playing presidential candidate now

that is the real reason

[Alcove-One]

Yes, it is all a grand right-wing plot.
(Hand-Rubbing)
And she would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for your meddling kids...

[RobinLandseadel]

Nah, Sarah is just plain old-fashioned sleazy all by herself. Anyone in any party who said and did as many stupid things as the "Pit Bull With Lipstick" does would get publicly nailed.

[Alcove-One]

You mean Joe Biden?

[proud2bemoderate]

Yeah we should really go after Sarah now because she never gets nailed publicly...right...

[levibatgirl]

None of your posts make any sense.

No wonder you love miss sarahpoo.
She's just like you!

[Alcove-One]

sarahpoo? Thanks for the kindergarden retort.

[RobinLandseadel]

Tell me, oh wise and wonderful Alcone-One, what is the "Bush Doctrine?"

[smchp]

So sad that these stories need to be published stating the blatantly obvious. Meanwhile the MSM runs with the GOP spew and ignores the facts!

[PartyPartyParty]

Who paid for your house, Sarah?
