Planet Palin
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.

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.

"Let me state my reasons in plain English without any sports analogies: I'm resigning because I feel I can be a more effective leader operating from the sidelines. I'm no bench warmer," she added.

Arrayed against an establishment, both Democratic and Republican, which says she is a hopeless lightweight and obviously illegitimate, Palin keeps coming, keeps giving offense.

The news of Sarah Palin's resignation reached gamblers during a busy holiday weekend. Still, somehow, they found time to handicap and place a flurry of online bets regarding Palin's future.

The one word that surfaces in virtually all scandal media analysis is "mishandled," as in "How could Palin and Sanford have mishandled their crises so badly?"

Only dead fish, Sarah Palin declared, go with the flow, but when, like Sarah, you are failin' to make sense, you should go.

Like a true narcissist, Palin once again acted with a grandiose sense of self-importance, but she is really compensating for a deeper sense of shame.

Whoever is unlucky enough to take on Obama in the 2012 race is going to face the most formidable incumbent in the history of American politics.

She is not a narcissist. She just has the good sense to realize she is better and more deserving than most people to rule the planet and prepare humanity for the end of days.

WASHINGTON — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's abrupt and unscripted holiday resignation is an odd way to launch a potential presidential bid and no hel...

Ironically, you've announced your babbling bailout on the eve of Independence Day. The people of Alaska may indeed finally be free of you. Unfortunately, the rest of us are about to become hostages.

How many of Sarah's millions of admirers will feel flattered by her most recent selfless and beneficent decision?
Kimberly Krautter | Posted 07.03.2009 | Politics
Who cares if she feels she has checked off her personal laundry list of things to do? You don't quit just because you want to pursue a new ambition.

Sarah, how creepy is it that NOW is jumping on your bandwagon? Trying to be friends with the alpha popular princess by sweeping abortion, pay parity, stem cell research under the rug!

I think Mr. Stevens should wait as least as long as the interned Japanese during WWII did for their apology.

The recent "study" that argues that Palin's looks had a negative impact on the outcome of the election is, at best, voodoo social-psychology.

If Palin hopes to lead the GOP out of its rut, she will first and foremost need to transcend her current role as the character children see on the front of a GOP cereal box.

Palin's latest right-wing Republican patron du jour is Fred Malek -- the notorious "hatchet man" for Richard Nixon who only a few years ago was busted by the SEC for investment fraud.
