Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, July 07, 2009

An FBI official in Alaska denied that departing Gov. Sarah Palin is under investigation. The FBI's Alaska spokesman said the bureau had no investigation into Palin for her activities as governor, mayor or any other capacity. "There is absolutely no truth to those rumors that we're investigating her or getting ready to indict her," Special Agent Eric Gonzalez said in a phone interview Saturday. "It's just not true."

Swinging and missing--more like a strike out.

Shannyn--who had parents who could not spell--is a moron for destruction.

She can't be successfully sued for defamation--the bar is so high--have to show malice and knowledge of a statement to be false.

But Shannyn certainly has egg on her blog today.

And more input--

Does Palin Have a Political Future?

NRO on what comes next for the governor.

"Oh shit."

Signed,
Sarah Palin.

When the going gets tough, quit.

Thanks, Sarah Palin for being a role model our daughters can look up to. Thanks for living up to the stereotype that women aren't tough enough to stick it out. Thanks for showing everybody that the best way to shoulder responsibility is to wiggle out of it. That when things aren't to your liking the best thing to do is run. And thank you especially for the reminder that quitting is a gift for the people you quit on.

Sarah Palin, Meet Hillary Clinton. She has a thing or two to teach you. Against all odds, Hillary never quit the presidential race until every note of the swan song played out. Weren't you listening when she said that she got up for every American that got hit and went down? Didn't you see her when she refused to wave the white flag you so furiously wave now? Has she taught you nothing? Let me repeat her mantra to you: Never give in; never give up.

Sarah, you're a sissy.

"Swinging and missing--more like a strike out."

So then she Just Cut N' Ran from her responsibilities!

Funny how the mouth that declared Clinton thin skinned for objecting to media criticism, resigns due to media critics!

Fucking Priceless!

This is just as pathetically funny as the crew who declared Bush the "Unitary Executive" turning around and blaming his mistakes on others!

Only in WingDing World, where memory lasts in the seconds, can this sort of garbage propagate!

Well San--since you posted the rawstory you should know or at least acknowledge the FBI shit was just that...

Should she have resigned? I say no.

But you and many others would still be crucifying her and her family while serving her term out.

How this turns out remains to be seen.

Fucking Priceless!

Well, since you didn't like the material from the liberal blogger, here's one from a conservative blogger you might like better...

A prominent conservative blogger says Gov. Sarah Palin demonstrated a "dereliction of duty" in her decision to quit her post as governor and is "manifestly unqualified" to run for president.

The blogger, Quin Hillyer, a classical conservative who hails from New Orleans and has served as a columnist as well as a Congressional aide, blasted Palin for her decision to depart office early in a posting on The American Spectator blog Friday.

"Sarah Palin's resignation is an appalling dereliction of duty and a highly cynical move to set herself up for a presidential run for which she is manifestly unqualified," Hillyer wrote.

"It is an absolute dereliction of duty to quit mid-term," Hillyer continued. "When you run for office, you are making a promise to your constituents to serve out your term (unless you get elected to higher office or have one of the aforementioned compelling reasons not to do so). To do otherwise is, in effect, to break your word.

"It is a sign of a lack of integrity," he added.

Hillyer argued that the governorship of Alaska doesn't prepare an individual for a presidential run because the state receives a great deal of federal aid and has a small population. He criticized Palin's departure speech, saying it was "unimpressive" and didn't adequately explain to the people of Alaska why she felt now was the time for her to leave.

"The point is that the criticism here is not Palin-specific; it is a consistent theme of mine," Hillyer added. "Then again, I am rather old-fashioned, and have some old-fashioned notions of public service. I view a campaign as a commitment to serve."

"Statesmen hang tough," he concluded. "Sarah Palin is cutting and running. Nuff said."

In fact, show me ANYONE who has a complicated return where a different interpretation could be made... Enter Danforth. (Danforth's going to argue with me because he's an accountant, LOL)

Are you confused (duh!)? She was investigated and found to owe back taxes on travel and per diem reimbursements.

Ergo, ALL of the allegations against her have not be proven false. Thus far one of them has been proven.

What are you saying? So, you believe that she's had enough? I tend to agree with you. Most people would fold under the constant torture, but I am more to believe that she is preparing for a run for the Senate. Presidential race? No way. She's been too Hilaryised. She could easily win in her own state.

but I am more to believe that she is preparing for a run for the Senate.

So she can quit 4 years into her first term there too? She lost all credibility she had, which was not much to begin with. You don't just quit ever in politics.

She has a really good approval rating in her state

She has a very high level of credibility among true Conservatives. She doesn't need to cater to the Liberal crowd. She's running for Senate in Alaska.

The simple truth the GOP needs to accept is that nothing contributed to Obama's victory more than the combined efforts of Dubya and Palin. Once they accept this, they will have a chance of winning again.

Are you talking about the Presidential race?

Hello? (Over here!) :)

I am talking about the Senate race in her own state. She'll win that.

I am talking about all races. The GOP needs to move away from the Keep it Simple Stupid approach they are taking with Dubya, Palin, Jhindal, etc, and get some real fresh ideas into the party.

I don't know if she will be running for senate--unlikely.

She shouldn't have resigned early.

Some folks would really like for her to away--don't hold your breathe. lol

The attacks on her kids would even send the most liberal woman out of whatever office they were in.

Notice they only attack her kids. Never a word about how Kennedy had his kids shown everywhere, or Obama and his kids or any other pols and their kids.

They all do it.

Yet you have Sullivan accusing the daughter of giving birth to Trig, then the name-calling of Trig, then her flight back to AK with signs of labor whe it was ok'd by her doctor, then her daughters on SNL having incestual relations with Todd--as a joke of course, then the Letterman shit about his daughter and him calling Sarah slutty, then the blogger mockery of Trig with the photoshopped face on Trig's body being hugged by Sarah. There is more.

And the mere audacity of her to work with 5 children --and the fact that she walks the walk--she actually had a son who she knew had Down's syndrome--and happy about it.

That is what really drives liberals batty!

So carry on with all your hatred and name-calling.

She is not leaving the scene. She will be back.

If you want to compare apples and apples, look at Mary Landreiu in Louisiana. She's actually crooked, but the people of Louisiana don't care. She'll keep winning unless Bobby Jindal decides to take her seat.

And how is it deriliction of duty to leave the governship in the hands of Parnell?

The guy is top notch, a republican and then will will in 2012!

And the mere audacity of her to work with 5 children --and the fact that she walks the walk--she actually had a son who she knew had Down's syndrome--and happy about it.

absolutely. If it were just about her lack of political experience and being a poor choice for VP then it wouldn't have gone that far.

Her approval rating was 54% before July 3rd.

It'll be lower--no doubt.

#34 | Posted by kanrei

You are really out of touch, aren't you? Palin and Jindal are true Conservatives and have enormous support in their own states. Dubya is most definately a neocon. A different class altogether.

Jindal will never run for President (Americans are not ready for an Indian President, unfortunately), but I think he'll seek reelection as Gov of Louisiana and then run for Senate later.

Palin, I speculate, will run for Senate.

True Conservatives, in this country, are a very large group. I think the Republican party was hijacked by the neocons and the Fox/Hannity/Rush crowd.

#35 | Posted by MURPHY

JFK was a far different time & place. Obama seldom had his kids in public, except at big events like the nomination and the election. And the one time he did put them on camera in an interview you all went bat-shit crazy.

When comparing how the press treats the President, you really cannot go further back than Watergate because that changed everything.

Mea culpa

Eddie, I realize that many Republicans like Palin and are eager to defend her. But for the sake of intellectual honesty it must be recognized that there is no "positive spin" for quitting mid-term. None. And blaming the evil liberals won't cut it. She probably has no political future, even in Alaska. Though it is marginally conceivable that that obituary could be premature.

#46 | Posted by moder8

So, the Libs are not evil for just a day? LOL!!!

You walked into that one.

No, Everyone agrees that quitting mid-term is not the best thing to do.

It could very well be that she's quit politics altogether because she got a really good job offer. She'll never be in the public eye again.

It's either that or she's prepairing to run for Senate. Only Sarah knows.

Alaska's US Senate seats aren't scheduled to be open for challenge until 2010 or 2014. At the earlier date, it's GOPiggy Lisa Murkowski's seat that's up and she's no friend of Palin's. And why would even Alaskans vote for a quitter like Palin, so she can opt out mid-term to do who knows what? Nope, Sarah's gone for Rupert Murdoch's millions for a book that will not do particularly well, perahps some talk radio or Faux Noos activity. She's going to make some bucks at the head of this idiotic crusade (for which only she and a few similarly deluded loons hear the distant drummer), scam what she can and see what develops. She is now what she's always been, and what she'll always be: a yammering bubble head going nowhwere very important. Even the GOPiggies aren't stupid enough to nominate her for anything of national significance.

But Shannyn certainly has egg on her blog today.

Any other questions?

Will someone please explain the fascination with Palin among both supporters and critics?? I can't figure that out at all.
I admire her story. She also seems average to me (which is part of the reason I admire her story).
I'd like to have a BBQ and beers with her and her family.
I don't agree with her neo-con view.
Her thighs are fat. So are Hillary's (I mean, piano legs in the latter).

I think you are confused, and interpreting the argument as 'defense' of Palin.

Much of the crap said about Palin is hypocritical, distorted and vulgar. Pointing out that someone's argument is like this, is not the same as 'defending' Palin.

I have no affection or disdain for Sarah Palin, but it does get tiresome when the same bunch of mice who defend every word of the Messiah feels it is their duty to trash every word of Palin.

I defend the Messiah when I think he's wrongly attacked, even though I am a Conservative and disagree with much of his actions.

I thought Bush was an awful president, but when he was falsely attacked I also 'defended' him.

Of course, to the simple, one-dimensional minds of the Left, that made me a tool of 'Dear Leader.'

I'll bet that statement has broken the hearts of many libs.

Shannyn Moore reported accurately that there were rumors in Alaska that Palin was being investigated over her house. The rumors have been floating around since Village Voice questioned Todd Palin's explanation in an interview that he built the house himself with some buddies.

Should she have sat on the rumors until there was some meat to them? Maybe. But it's not like Moore's alone in talking about this stuff. Read any Alaska blog, or the comment section of the Alaskan papers, and you'll see speculation of all kinds about Palin.

I don't agree with her neo-con view.

she not only took on corruption in the other party but in repub as well and she has a great ass.....

I still dont think she will be the first woman president but I also think that all of the people who told us that she wasnt capable of being the VP havent heard JOE biden in the past 6 months....

and did I mention that she has a great ass

Rusty Ballsack,

You know what happened when you kept telling the librarian lady that she had a nice ass! They are really getting tired of you down at the emergency room. Removing that char leg from your rectum must have hurt like hell.

I don't agree with her neo-con view.

#55 | Posted by Diablo

The term neoconservative, first coined at least as early as 1921, was used at one time as a criticism against liberals who had "moved to the right".[5][6] Michael Harrington, a democratic socialist, coined the current sense of the term neoconservative in a 1973 Dissent magazine article concerning welfare policy.

I don't go along with it either???? Was she a lib?

Making definitive judgements re the future is a big step towards revealing one's ignorance. But I do know, based on Palin's history of avoiding briefings, ignoring advice and showing disdain for accumulating more information and knowledge, that she is one person I would never vote for. Well, except maybe for cat catcher.

Every intelligent person whom I've talked with about her, esp. conservatives, would very much prefer that she stay far away from presidential politics. The conservative women I've talked with are the most contemptuous of her because there are so many smarter and more able conservative women than her. She would make a laughing stock of both our country and of the conservative movement were she somehow elected POTUS.

But she _is_ great for generating controversy, so blogs and the media love her. Ah, the modern world.

Most people would fold under the constant torture, but I am more to believe that she is preparing for a run for the Senate.

Really?
As I recall-As soon as Governor Clinton of Arkansas announced his candidacy the rushpubs went nutzoid!
They spent 10 years and almost 100 million dollars of taxpayer money trying to find something-ANYTHING-to charge him with. He DIDN'T quit-he stuck around-and did his job...(and did it very well, I might add.)
While he DID eventually make a mistake they could exploit-it wasn't until his second term-and considering the pressure cooker he'd been under-I'm not sure I could've lasted-and functioned as well-as he did at the time.

No-
St Sarush!! (The Moosiah of Moosillavill) is politically toast.
I could, of course be wrong-Alaskans may well BE stupid enough to elect her for another Office she'll quit as soon as it becomes difficult....

with all the frivolous 'birther' lawsuits levied at Obambi, he should just quit after 2.5 years.

I'm sure it's costing tax payers untold millions.

he could accept his 'higher' calling as a quasi-politco vagueness peddler.

In fact, he should go into the business of selling teleprompters. After all, he is the only politician who has ever thought of using one and he's so good at reading off the screen he can be Sarah's teleprompter coach for 2012 so she can get those 'you betchas' and 'doncha knows' out there with more 30% more zing!

Besides, Sarah has a much better ass than flop ears. I'm not being sexist, her ass is just that good.

Frank brings out the facts again....

Well, they had jobs in a Presidential Administration.

Of course she is NOT under any investigation. This is nothing more than liberal Democrat wet dreams. Notice how the libs will run with this story without a checking a single damn fact! Today's media is nothing more than a bunch of Obama ass suckers as almost all liberals for that matter.

Just because the FBI isn't investigating a CRIME doesn't mean there was not another adulterous sexual tryst between a major GOP politico and someone else.

The GOP would have self destructed had Sarah Palin been exposed and involved in an adulterous love fest. She and the RNC was given an offer she couldn't refuse.

Special Agent Eric Gonzalez said in a phone interview Saturday. "It's just not true."

Posted by MURPHY

That's convenient, don't you think? It sure was nice of the FBI to announce that they have no investigation. When was the last time you ever heard them make a statement like that?

Everyone knows the FBI would rather pull their own teeth out with an pair of rusty pliers than have to say they are not investigating someone, anyone.

because you never know who you might need to investigate.

I remember some of them claiming that he was al queda.

After whining about the nasty MSM media and their attention to her kids, Sarush invites the MSM to go fishing with her and her kids. Poor victim Palin.

Even Alaska GOPpers are tired of her crap:

But Rep. Jay Ramras, a Fairbanks Republican who leads the state House Judiciary Committee, said when it comes to public opinion, "The concrete hasn't set up yet."

"Those that seem to have responsibilities to manage businesses that manage people seem to be much less tolerant of what she did," Ramras said after attending Independence Day events over the weekend. Those people consider her "a quitter," he said.

"And then there's another group, where Gov. Palin has been successful in being able to imply -- and certainly these people have inferred -- that she was a victim."

Despite leaving office about two-thirds of the way through her term, Palin "is not a quitter," Van Flein said. He added that she "already accomplished her major goals," including winning legislative approval for a massive natural gas pipeline.
advertisement

But Ramras, who calls himself "a pro-development, conservative Republican," called that assertion "crazy." Though the pipeline project won approval in the state Legislature, Alaska has yet to establish a "durable and predictable" financial structure that will get producers to commit to the plan.

"Anyone who thinks we've started anything is delusional. ... What she did was she created a Gordian knot and then handed it off to someone else," he said.

Cut and run, I believe Republicans call it.

The Department of Law is protecting him, as it does all presidents, from this sort of thing.

www.huffingtonpost.com

"I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.

I'm not a fan of her but I do see part of the logic (if thats the real reason) however, if she runs for senate (or any other office) whats to stop the same thing from happening there?

You can't complain about the heat and simply jump into the next pan and expect it to be any different.

As for those who bash her for leaving office early for whatever reason, rare is it a time when it doesnt happen.

Also, dont forget all of those 2 year termers who get into office and spend 80-85% of their time getting ready for the next election.

Yall keep jumping on the "this side did this" and "that side did that" when both sides play by the same rules and play exactly the same way.

We're just too stupid to get it apparently.
