- ileftfark, on 07/03/2009, -3/+447Update: Palin is actually stepping down as Governor later this month as well.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/07/03/palin/index ... - rhabdomancer, on 07/03/2009, -31/+416She's stepping down now.
I guess she can't take the heat of Alaskan politics.
LOL - JuanBSU, on 07/03/2009, -42/+318Please please please run for president, Palin!
Humiliate yourself some more! - PWoT, on 07/03/2009, -31/+291Hey, Republican Party. I'm a swing voter, for president I've gone GOP three times, DEM once in my life.
If you run Palin, I will not only vote for Obama, but will go door to door campaigning for him.
Just thought you should know. - Ozzsanity, on 07/03/2009, -32/+242I wonder if this bimbo actually thinks she can win if she ran for president.
- DaveClarkOne, on 07/03/2009, -24/+219McCain disqualified himself from President when he picked Palin. Now Palin has disqualified herself for future office in quitting as governor of Alaska.
She really is a bizarre figure in American politics. What's next, she's eloping with Rush Limbaugh? - twiztidsinz, on 07/03/2009, -15/+176GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!
- krc1, on 07/03/2009, -16/+172There is NO way in hell she steps down unless there is some major ethics problem that's going to come out very shortly.
- mrgeekguy, on 07/03/2009, -21/+169Alaska, your long, perky nightmare is over.
- thebigredcat, on 07/03/2009, -33/+181And now she moves to the job that she was born to do- Sarah the Slutty Flight Attendant.
- onegoodsoul, on 07/03/2009, -30/+153Good. Now she can go start her porn career.
- inactive, on 07/03/2009, -7/+128When she speaks, it's as if someone poured a cliche dictionary into a salad shooter.
- AraleNorimaki, on 07/03/2009, -15/+136According to expense reports, Sarah Palin charged the state of Alaska over $21,000 for her children to travel with her on official business. In fairness to Gov. Palin, when she leaves them home alone they get pregnant." --Seth Meyers
It turns out that Joe is not a licensed plumber, he had to admit that he's 'not even close' to buying the plumbing business, the business does not bring in $250,000 to $280,000 like he said, and his name isn't even Joe -- it's Sam. Turns out the only true thing about 'Joe the Plumber' is 'the.'" He's the Sarah Palin of plumbing." --Jimmy Kimmel - Akairenn, on 07/03/2009, -9/+128Nah, Palin has more important things to do. Like defending our freedom. By flying around in a helicopter, armed with a high-powered rifle. Even as the rest of us sleep, she is watching; ever wary, ever vigilant, against Putin staring out across the ocean toward Alaska.
THIS IS THE PRICE OF FREEDOM! - jecrawf, on 07/03/2009, -10/+127That will give her time to go to community college and take civics and geography 101.
- flossdaily, on 07/03/2009, -4/+119Funny, that was the same thing I said when Bush ran for his first term.
Be careful what you wish for. - asgardshill, on 07/03/2009, -12/+117And somewhere out in the Alaskan outback, wolves cower at the sound of passing helicopters and hug their cubs a little tighter.
- Mujokan, on 07/03/2009, -5/+108There's something more to this story. Someone tell me how her explanation at the press conference makes sense.
“We've got to put first things first. I love my job and I love Alaska. I am doing what’s best for Alaska,” Palin said at a televised news conference in her hometown of Wasilla.
Palin said she hoped people were not disappointed by the decision, which she said had been in the works for some time. She said she was taking “my fight for what’s right in a new direction.” She said she could be more effective and better serve Alaska and the country from outside the governor's office.
“My choice is to take a stand and effect change and not just hit our head against the wall,” Palin said. She was surrounded by her family and top state officials.
“Millions of dollars go down the drain in this new political environment,” she said.
“Rather, we know we can effect positive change outside government,” she continued and “actually make a difference.”
Palin criticized recent political attacks, including one from former campaign aides of Arizona Sen. John McCain, who was the top of the GOP ticket.
“You are naive if you don’t see a full-court press from the national level picking away a good point guard,” she said, referring to criticism of her campaigning style. The most recent attack was in a magazine article in Vanity Fair magazine.
Edited from http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/07 ... - UnpossibIe, on 07/03/2009, -12/+107Palin/Jindal 2012? They're going to keep comedians well fed.
- gureyes, on 07/03/2009, -10/+101he didnt quit before he ran. she did
if you listen to her reasons for quitting, she sounded like she couldnt stand the pressure of the media - ironhide, on 07/03/2009, -6/+95So you consider blind party loyalty a virtue?
- skipvt, on 07/03/2009, -14/+102Thank god this nutbag isn't our VP. Listening to her speech made my head hurt and my IQ drop.
- dissolutionman, on 07/03/2009, -4/+87Well, she definitely can't win now. Huckabee served two full terms as a Gov and Romney served one. She hasn't even completed her first. If she makes the attempt, she'll be stuck with the "lightweight" label by both of them.
All they've got to say is, "If you couldn't handle one term as a Governor, how can you handle being President?" - scotchw, on 07/03/2009, -6/+89My neighbor was the head of the Women for McCain in our state.
She voted Obama - inactive, on 07/03/2009, -20/+101Chalk one up for humanity
- sugarazor, on 07/03/2009, -25/+102I... I'm... just so... happy!
- alittleroy101, on 07/03/2009, -7/+83So you want him to invade more countries, yet put the budget back into a surplus?
wtf are you smoking? - Insightful, on 07/03/2009, -2/+69As much as I despise her, I am hoping she resigned because she slept with a hot Argentinean woman.
- twiztidsinz, on 07/03/2009, -10/+74Yeah I know... what a loser.
He's probably got some ***** job now askin' "You want fries with that"?
MIRITE GUISE?????? - doublsh0t, on 07/03/2009, -16/+74I can't wait for 2012!! Getcha popcorn ready ^_^
- diwanifa, on 07/03/2009, -9/+65You betcha.
- AbominableHoman, on 07/03/2009, -2/+55Go sit down.
- inactive, on 07/03/2009, -5/+54And in what way is Obama a bimbo?
- theghoul, on 07/03/2009, -6/+54Something stinks here.
Quitting as governor this early to possibly run for president makes no sense.
Sounds like a scandal coming. - inactive, on 07/03/2009, -7/+55Obama quit to become president. Not just for the hell of it.
- NeiloMac, on 07/03/2009, -1/+47I've invented a machine that makes you read this text with my voice in your head! </Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth>
- TheBifman, on 07/03/2009, -6/+52Oh *****, she's going to be responsible for the end of the world?
:( - STBAT25, on 07/03/2009, -4/+49Andrea Mitchell is saying she is quiting politics all together. I bet she is going to give speeches to friendly audiences for a lot of money.
- DaleMCourtney, on 07/03/2009, -4/+49impossibly bizarre
- sugarazor, on 07/03/2009, -5/+50Bwahahahahahaha... presidential campaign?! After quitting barely halfway through her first term as governor of one of the least-populated states in the country? Puh-lease...
*Screen shows horrific war footage*
Creepy voiceover: Sarah Palin quit on the people of Alaska, could we afford for her to quit on America?
"I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message."
Primary over. - gureyes, on 07/03/2009, -4/+48and mccain lost.
um.. wasnt she with mccain? - Wetzilla, on 07/03/2009, -5/+49"Show the world that when the people of Iran get shot in the head for their freedom, the response is not 'we don't want to get involved' "
First off, that wasn't his response. Second off, would you have rather he stepped in and given the Iranian government an excuse to start cracking down on the protesters? Yes, that sounds like a great idea.
"Show the world that when the people of Honduras fight a President who wants to grab power, the response is not 'this guy should be put back in power' "
Right the "people" (I didn't realize the army was now called "the people") were fighting a president who is trying to grab power by putting forth a constitutional amendment that would have been voted on so he could run in a democratic election for another term. Sounds like he's an evil dictator to me.
"Show the world that when the country is in deficit, the response is not to triple our debt."
Really? Tripling our debt? I was unaware that 1.7 trillion was three times 11 trillion dollars. That's some funky math you have going on. - inactive, on 07/03/2009, -3/+46akcrhs, great. Still waiting for anything that resembles a point. You can't be both a Senator and the President, so he resigned from the Senate. Everyone knows this, and knew this would happen as he was a Senator when he began his campagin. Again, WHAT IS YOUR POINT?
- avshanbh, on 07/03/2009, -9/+50The Alaskan idiot isn't running for 2012. A second BIG shoe is about to drop. Possibilities?
1. Todd Palin bromance?
2. Her 14 year daughter is pregnant?
3. Sarah Palin's past affair with her husband's business partner? - ironhide, on 07/03/2009, -5/+46The First Amendment only applies to the government prohibiting free speech. Also, telling someone to shut up is not forcing them to be silent.
Oh, forgive me, I forgot the right-wing interpretation. "Let me speak my mind, without criticism" - inactive, on 07/03/2009, -4/+43Yes, akchrs, he resigned his senate seat when he was elected president. What's your point?
- inactive, on 07/03/2009, -2/+40"Look at the crowds that turn out for her."
Yes, lets talk about the type of people Palin attracted. - L0NER, on 07/03/2009, -13/+51maybe someone got a hold of one of Trig's hairs for a DNA test.
- twiztidsinz, on 07/03/2009, -2/+39@Naillgriff:
The point is OBAMA QUIT!!!! LOLOLOLOOOLOLOLOLOLOLOOOLOLOLOLOL
It's as close as you're going to get from someone like akchrs... - jitterbits, on 07/03/2009, -2/+38Best description of her vernacular that I've ever heard!
