Sarah Palin is now free to expose these hoaxes. She is free to speak and from the comments here libs are very worried and scared of the force of her personality. They intended to box her in and harass her. Now she can box them in and go after the liberal frauds in full force 24/7. The pitbull with lipstick is in the room.

You wish! Only a conservative would vote for an air headed bimbo like her! Conservatives criteria for President is very limited to whether the person running is a fundamentalist Christian and against abortion and Gays! Brains???? They aren't remotely interested. Most of us liberals hope she runs. That will be a shoe in for Obama!

I had to watch it again to see if I had missed something but there was not much to miss. The Governor seemed to be trying to convince herself that her rationale made sense and realized she had not quite closed the deal ("If I had some ham I'd have some ham and eggs if I had some eggs."). Point guard indeed!

Raw narcissism like Sarah's may not be rare but exposing it to a national audience surely is. I'd had her pegged as a female version of George W. Bush, but believe she's well beyond that. With the right script writer, I can see a future for her in the ranks of Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Coulter and others of that ilk. She has a built-in audience for a running start though her whiney voice may be a turn-off.

Future president? Not a chance, though in full disclosure I said the same thing about Dubya.

PS: Has anyone heard of any negative comments about little Trig?

You betcha!

to become the street hustlers (organizers with clipboards) they once were, they are now refugees. Speaking of Baracky the Bullcrapper, Axelrod, Emanuel, et al. I fully expect O'Bama to continue his rock star status after Carter's second term when he procures a Hollywood contract and can continue to bathe in public approbation to assuage his massive ego. Meanwhile we will benefit from Sarah, our own rock star, who will take back the republic from the low-life scum, sleaze, trash and garbage that is liberalism.

Not so bold prediction: Palin will take to the airwaves, build a following through radio or TV and run for president in 2012.

Palin - Limbaugh 2012. You heard it here first.

and that's all. Many blacks have voters' remorse and won't vote for him again. Conservatives learned their lesson about sitting home (fewer in '08 than in '04.) The punishment is too severe. McCain is a lib but everything is relative and he wouldn't have dealt us the constant blows. But Baracky admits he has to shove it thru now or he won't get it (and doesn't actually care about a second term.) 40% on the right and independent 20% will vote for whatever Republican. We've had the historic first black presidink now it's time for the first female.

Sarah Palin's "logic" on resigning now because she isn't going to run for re-election is just weird. All office-holders that I've ever heard say that being a "lame duck" is an opportunity to be free of political motivations for every action and to just do what's right. But, for Palin, it's a period when she would do nothing but just pick up her pay-checks. She keeps claiming that she does everything with the people of Alaska in mind. Being in office and not running for re-election should give her the opportunity to do exactly that and not to have anyone question her motives. But no, she says it's a period of no activity at all.

Her position is just monumentally stupid. If she's not making up a reason for doing something she wants to do but can't give her real reason for (something that politicians do all the time) then he decision may prove what some people have suspected for a long time. That is, she's just none to bright.

Watching Palin's speech on TV rather than the internet, she looked even more nervous and frightened. Thus her complaint about the State of Alaska spending money on investigations, the details of which she didn't specify, leads one to conclude that the investigations were about her. In which case, I wonder if there was a quid pro quo at work here. Palin has many political enemies in the State, including fellow Rethuglicans. Did they reach an accord: Palin steps down and no one gets hurt?

If so, I fully expect the details of the scandal to emerge regardless of her resignation. Sorry Sarah, but you are toast, and it couldn't happen to a nastier person.

Have you figured out what the stars mean yet?

Camille Paglia is on suicide watch.

Was John McCain's choice of Sarah wise ?

In the short term no, but history may yet prove otherwise.

Sarah Palin was conjured into prominence by the fear and loathing of the people who witness daily the growing evidence that the lives they live are toast. Like The People of the Abyss described by Jack London, they feel the hopelessness and bewilderment felt by those who are abandoned by God and man.

She speaks excathedra to the huddled masses who see in her a simple woman who understands the trouble of the world as they do. In this role she plays the President's doppelganger as she campaigns to become President of the shadow government being assembled in response to the call of Rush Limbaugh.

Figures like Palin have always appeared in times of turmoil when they are famous for 15 minutes or are assassinated or silenced by other means.

The elite has ridiculed her for good reason as she appears to them a knows nothing. But she does know the one true thing necessary to propagate her message: we are all prone to believe the lie that is repeated a thousand times and susceptible to group think.. This is best termed “the social Federalist 10 problem”.

Sarah Palin my not become or be nominated for the Presidency or Vice Presidency. A more likely outcome is that someday she may become Sec'y of the Interior where she could wield more power over her fellow Alaskans than she does today.

She would also make a great ambassador to Russia.
