I'm part of "the elites"? I'm a librarian, for chrissake.

Not sure that first assumption is going to turn out to be valid...

I think it's more likely Palin is running away ahead of an indictment. The people around her in politics didn't know she was quitting on Thursday.

She reminds me of that Knight in the monty python sketch that had both arms and both legs cut off but was still talking trash even though he was completely defeated.

She is quit all right. Ding Dong, the witch is dead.

The Black Knight

I am disappointed she is resigning before the end of her term.

She was

Stressed
Depressed
and the liberals are all pests....

Her leaving early let's "them" win the battle.

The crap going on against her kids was the final straw I guess.

This only gets the liberals to think they can attack pols kids in the future to keep folks out of politics.

Rough game with politics.

She will be able to do what she wants without her hand tied behind her back.

And the comment that her family did not know that she was leaving are obviously not true.

I wish her all the luck and prosperity and peace.

"This only gets the liberals to think they can attack pols kids in the future to keep folks out of politics."

Shortly after Bill Clinton took office, Limbaugh had a short-lived syndicated TV show. In a widely reported incident that I viewed personally, he talked about Socks the cat and then asked his audience, "did you know there's a White House dog?" For his punchline, Limbaugh showed a photo of a 12-year-old Chelsea Clinton.

It takes a special breed of jerk to go after the under-age child of a politician who was new to the national spotlight and not participating publicly in any political events. To expose her to ridicule for her looks, at what is easily the most awkward stage of adolescence, is completely indefensible.

Although the remark was immediately condemned, it took Limbaugh 10 years to have the decency to apologize, telling Hillary Clinton in December 2002 that he regretted making "a personal attack upon an innocent girl."

the question is: what was she thinking when she accepted Mccain's invite?

did she think that she could NOT turn it down? or did she AND TOD think she had some important message fore the country?

i think she quit, despite any and all allegations, as a big F You.
Tod got a bad case of the Fuck its, which I feel sure he already had anyway.

LOSERS.

the only message they have (and most so-called conservatives today) is the typical "do i say not as i do" routine while bashing you over the head with a bible.

SICKOS.

strange old world.

Rush should never have said that--it was awful and out of line and callous.

And not funny and just plain dumb.

And from another --

Shannyn Moore also reported about "iceberg scandal" during her tenure as mayor, Sarah Palin use the building material of Wasilla Sports Complex for her residence.

It is said that Both structures have same wood, same products and same windows as prescribed by Shannyn Moore. According to "The Daily Kos" Federal Indictments could be about to happen against Sarah Palin.

"ALL of the homes and buildings in AK are of the same wood, same products and same windows"

And now, a complete lie to defend Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin vs the elites....

Does anyone honestly believe that Sarah Palin doesn't have the same high opinion of herself as the so-called "elites"?

"THE LEFT FORCED HER OUT BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID!"

-You know who you are

How is she going to "fight" after giving up her bully pulpit? It makes no sense whatever.

I smell an indictment, and the reasons cited in #2 and #10 could well be behind what's coming. If there is any recurring theme in Palin's political story, it is that she has a very poor grasp of how to keep her personal wants separated from state or GOP funding sources. Every time she gets around someone else's money, there's a controversy as to whether or not she's helped herself to something she shouldn't have. Whether there's any fire there is still open to question, but think about it - there has been one hell of a lot of smoke around Palin on that issue, and very, very consistently.

Murphy defending another rethug how typical. She is gone and soon forgotten. Now we need to get rid of Pawlenty and any other rethug that dares to test the dnc.

By the way Murphy - the "unsubstantiated rumors" from the McCain campaign about her were substantiated with published E-mails a couple of days ago.

Feel free to try another route to find something to hold on to.

Bullshit,

The resignation just frees the moosefart to start openly lobbying for Petrochina.

Anyone could have predicted this.

There's going to be a time when Ms. Palin will yearn for the days when the worst people could call her was looking like a slutty flight attendant.

The plot thickens...

my posts on the original stand. that is, even of there is further scandal, yes further, se was already scandalous and her quitting proves it.

nevertheless, her new found fame and money have emboldened her and Tod to try to spread their unAmerican views.

That is just what they have decided to do... a big F' It America, they got a new attitude of "we'll show you."

i think it's a combo of getting out seeing what happens --getting rich if they can... sooner than later or while they might still be able to -- as well as being the politically pissed off kooks they are.

JACKASS, the work should focus on the frauds that always been political power brokers, the Blue Dog Democrats.

From the woman who gave us Michelle's "hate whitey" tapes and phone conversations from the African Press thingie.

When do we get to see or hear those, Muffy?

McAnkles and Cranc could beat Venus and Serena.

Damn you, boy. I'd never imagined people that fucking stupid existed. Damn you!

......the "Elites" ??......

.....are those like the Wassila Junior Hockey Team that's knocking up her daughters ??......

Dunno bout the allegations...could just be that the company was the only one able to handle a multi-million dollar project.

the "funny as hell" part of this whole thread is that everyone is speculating and hoping that she gets raked over the coals for something that just about every politician does regardless of party affiliation.

She just apparently upset the wagon enough for someone to throw her to the wolves (so to speak).

As for the "fight with one hand behind her back", she should just speak her mind and let the chips fall where they may instead of quitting w/out a fight.

Still wouldn't vote for her in any election cos I think she's batshit crazy, but I'd have more respect for her than I do now.

Loh

She left because of the meany "libruuuul" media?

Reminds me of some past words, let me know if I get this wrong!

"If they (meaning a democrat) Can't Handle the Media, then How are they (meaning a democrat) going to Handle the Terrorist"!

Doink!
