If Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm Had Resigned Instead of Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin is wading back into the warm bowels of victimhood, whining that everyone's pilin' on about her steppin' down.
Sarah Palin is wading back into the warm bowels of victimhood, whining that everyone's pilin' on about her steppin' down.
Palin's frustration with "the media" is one of the reasons she cited for resigning, so it stands to reason that she's craving to craft her own lasting legacy.
If certain wingnuts and Republicans don't want affordable, guaranteed health insurance, then they don't have to sign up. They're welcome to continue to defiantly roll the dice with their private plans.

After twenty-nine years of marriage, it would be fair to call me a lame duck wife. It's entirely possible that my family and friends are bored with m...
The warm bath of public narcissism is getting crowded: The media, the people they cover and the consumers are all nicely simmering in a narcissism stew.
Whatever your opinions, Palin and her family were savaged in a manner that went beyond any reasonable standard.
In his catalog of Washington's public virtues and civility, David Brooks neglected to mention that George Washington owned, bought and sold his fellow human beings.
Apart from Dowd and Collins, Palin's crossed signals on quitting even prompted Karl Rove to weigh in. The point here: no speaker can afford to deliver a message that is self-contradictory.
Unknown in lower 48, she took us by surprise. A maverick from the tundra was her oft-stated disguise.
These two could have easily drifted apart as their lives and career paths diverged, but for better or for worse, Sarah and Kristin remain BFFs.
We can't help but weigh in on the Sarah Palin epic disaster movie. It's a fantastic train wreck of a story, and we can't look away.
According to Apple, a user of the iPal app can hold his iPhone up to a television when Ms. Palin is appearing and receive a real-time English translation in text form.
After turning down a lucrative offer from The Onion, in a rambling Tweet, lame duck Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin has announced her rationale for stepp...
Beyond the very small number of Axelrods, Emmanuels and the like, which of the people staffing the great and the good right now feel empowered, duty-bound even, to give honest, unvarnished feedback?
Palin must assume the pitfalls of "movement" candidacies, running for the nation's highest office on the basis of lofty ideals and downplaying the importance of tried-and-true experience.
By dismissing the media's assessment of her, Palin dismisses their entire metric for evaluation, without providing an alternative framework for determining merit.
Sarah Palin has the capability to manipulate the political betting markets and thus, is barred from betting on her future. If you are a member of Palin's family, however, you can play.
They're wrong, she's right, she'll rise again, and lifts her eyes to God in prayer,/The Lord works in surprising ways -- but she's not going anywhere.
In her short campaign as the GOP Vice Presidential candidate in the 2008 Presidential election it seems that Sarah Palin got addicted to the spotlight of national politics.
The Edwards and Palin stories both underscore the quirk in our electoral system through which vice presidents are nominated.

I'm shocked, just shocked, I tell you that S.carah has been lying............
I'm quitting for a higher calling............But I don't know what it is yet............Wow !....And she wants to be President
I sure don't hope that she will go away.... It's been a blessing from God.......She brought integrity to the Republican party. She almost won John McCain the presidency and she has inspired so many God fearing Christians working moms. This is the best thing that has happened to the Republican party in the last 20 years.
I just might switch parties I am so moved. God will be with you Sarah in 2012 2016 2020, Go for it darling the GOP needs you.
LOL. I hope she doesn't go away either. Actually, I hope the GOP makes Palin their candidate for 2012. This will guarantee Obama another 4 years as president and hopefully that will be enough time to get us out of the incredible economic mess that Bush and republicans have put this country in.
Word!
Wow! Some serious medication adjustments are in order.
A very plausible reason for the suddenness of Sarah Palin's resignation has been advanced in the Publisher's Marketplace email newsletter, Publisher Lunch Deluxe: that La Palin quit to avoid disclosure of the terms of her book deal as would have been required of the governor under Alaska law. The letter is not available online, but I quote it in my own blog Intravenous Caffeine http://ivcaffeine.com, with commentary and cartoon.
The woman is a quitter. I was always taught that the real value of a college degree was that it showed a person could stick to something hard and complete it no matter what the obstacles.
Palin took 6 years to get a 4 year degree after changing her major and college numerous times.
This is a woman who can't stick with anything hard and get it done...now her calling is simply to be popular with the mob, as that is the only ones she has an appeal to.
Quitter is all she's good for. If the mob actually demanded something substantive and concrete instead of hate speech from her...she'd quit them too.
That is why she is so dangerous. She understands the mob mentality and is addressing their fears and emotions.
Is this rational?
NO, not to people who are not afraid of the changing world environment and understand it is not "us against them."
Yes, to the people who are afraid. She identifies herself as "common folk", and by declaring herself an "icon", she will lead them in their battle.
