what would happen if Sarah Palin woke up one day and realized she really was in over head.

I heard the speech on the radio and it sounded incoherent, rambling, accusatory, self-pitying, arrogant...just the same old Palin we've become use to since her nomination.

She has no clue how her vicious comments during the campaign could be used against her. She can dole it out with the 'best' of the right-wing crazies but she sure can't take it.

...for all of you I may have made deaf when I exploded with laughter at this news.

This is good for Alaska, they won't have an absentee governor anymore, but bad for the rest of the country as she plots her ascent to the Presidency.

Let's see...imbecile, check...stunningly regressive politics, check...weird breed of fundy, check...mildly cute, check...

Must be resigning to take a spot as a FOX anchor.

T

be on "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" I think we knew the answer to that already, and today, she opened her mouth and left no doubt. Personally, I think it was my blog post from earlier today that sealed it for her . . .

OMG..you folks posting here are the ones that are crazy. She is limited on what she can do as governor. You need to read between the lines...she's coming after bear, and she's not going to stop until she gets some. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. She has taken more garbage and crap from the news media and the sheeple liberals, than Obama-lama-ding-dong or his idiot sidekick..Joe Biden, would have ever been able to withstand. These two bozos just ain't got a clue. Watch what I say...you ain't seen nothing yet.

Comments following Sarah Palin's resignation:

"Folks. This is no time for negativity. Sarah Palin is going into the wilderness. Think Moses, Jesus and Ronald Reagan. This is the beginning of the taking back of America. I will explain her decision once I have had time to reflect on it, but remember I was way ahead on this. So if you feel like shooting the messenger feel free."

"Sarah Palin has crossed the Rubicon today. It's a gamble of incredible proportions. None of us saw it coming, and we're the most dedicated political junkies you will find anywhere. It took our breath away."

Yep - breathtaking.

"She is limited on what she can do as governor.

Only because she has been seriously neglecting her job and now because she has quit.

Behind her bumbling, stream of consciousness speech I think was the heart of a very scared person. I agree with others who say that an indictment is on its way.

I'm completely confused. I have no idea what the hell her explanation meant. She wants Alaska to progress...so she's resigning? Is that indirect admittance that she's a part of its apparent hindered growth? Is it that she's unhappy with the coverage of her family? And did she REALLY insinuate that she was somehow on the same level of the troops b/c she was "sacraficing" her position as govenor for greater political good?...or something of the sort...?

And what the hell was that full court press analogy? It sucked--and made almost no sense to me.

Does she really think quitting her job as govenor of one of the least populated states in the country will prove beneficial to running in 2012? Does she think people will think more highly or her now?

Can anyone help me, I'm completely confused by this?

Maybe that would be explained if she is resigning "against her will" because of an about to break scandal, so some sort of pressure. But if those things are the reason, why is she staying for the next few weeks?

in the lower 48, most unfortunately.

Since we're speculating, why not this: It is no secret that Palin is sympathetic, to say the least, to the Alaskan secessionist movement; so is Todd Palin. Perhaps Palin's reference in her speech to Americans looking to the North for solutions was a hint that she, like many conservatives since the 2008 election, cannot abide a United States run by President Obama and the Democrats and so would rather secede.

There has already been talk among Texan and Georgian Republicans of seceding from the nation, so perhaps among the wingnuts this is a not unpopular notion.

Sarah Palin: first Empress of the North?

What point guard looks ONLY at the basket? The one that can only think of her, only, taking the shot........

Her sports analogies show just how clueless about the world she is.

And you're batshit crazy too. How far right-wing nutcases have sunk.

The hatred for and fear of Sarah Palin on the left is nothing short of scary. It's not much of a stretch to imagine the pack of you burning her at the stake. What is it about this woman that scares the pants off so many of you? Besides the fact that she's a woman, that is.

I may not agree with Palin's politics, but this doesn't mean I have an urge to boil her in oil.

I swear, the New Left has become more loathsome than the far right ever managed. What a bunch of flaming hypocrites you are. You aren't liberals. You're some strange breed of haters.

Now just what is THAT supposed to mean? Since when can a governor be more effective for his/her state by throwing in the towel? Does this mean that she's just bailing out of an elective office to take a lucrative job as a Fox News talkshow host, where she'll presumably subvert the current national government via the airwaves, or is she planning some sort of armed insurrection? That's got to be the most dysfunctional statement I've ever heard from an American politician (and I've heard plenty!).

I'm also mystified by her declaration that remaining in office until the end of her term would represent a vast waste of millions of tax payer dollars. What kind of politician is she if she actually believes her very presence in the governor's office is a waste of money? Does her contempt for the governorship apply to the office itself or to her own meager abilities? This behavior is very very weird and should disqualify her for any sort of national position - anywhere but in America, it seems.

Regarding her statement that America needs more children like Trig - I think we'd all appreciate a clarification.

To be fair, however, her statement really sounds like a series of disjointed and thus nonsensical soundbytes, as if she's suffered some sort of shock to her main processor, viz. the original movie of "The Stepford Wives": "I'll just DIE if I don't get that recipe..."

Sarah must be in BIG trouble...
