IC whut u did thar!
msnbc says she's doing it to prep for a presidential run.
I is confused.
thinkprogress (i know not the most objective sources) says the feds are investigating for embezzlement with regards to the hockey arena she authorized that put her town in debt and she got favors from the company in return.
i'm torn a sarah palin run would pretty much guarantee a second obama term (if he doesn't royally fuck up, or the economy doesn't nose dive even further), but by god i've had an assful of her. http://thinkprogress.org/2009/07/03/palin-hockey-arena-scandal/
what is most concerning from my perspective is that a great many people seem to have amnesia with regard to the Bush years... for all sense and purposes, [most] everyone who voted for bush—who repeated the "stay the course" mantra over and over as they enjoyed their prosperity—already see this as the "Obama Recession"
i'm afraid its going to take a great deal of effort to get beyond that characterization
can't you hear it already?
"had we just stayed the course, with McCain, we wouldn't be in this mess"

I guess that explains her quote: > "determined to take the right path for Alaska even though it is unconventional and it is not so comfortable."
I thought it meant she was going to become a CEO of an oil company and rape Alaska for natural resources... or become a fighter to put Alaskan cage fighting on the map.

Ah yes, I can see that selling well. "I've stepped down because people keep accusing me of ethics violations, which is interfering with my work; I'm sure this will not be an issue as your president, when everything I do will be ethical...right?"
"...only the dead fish go with the flow"
Sarah Palin
Her Facebook:
"I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint," she said.
Palin also cast herself as a victim and blasted the media, calling the response to her announcement "predictable" and out of touch.
"How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it's about country," the statement said. "And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make."

via BoingBoing: > On his excellent "nedslist" mailing list, Ned Sublette wrote this concise and spot-on appreciation of the official text of Palin's goodbye speech:
" [W]hat Roland Barthes would have called the pleasure of this text has to be savored in full to draw out its pure nuttiness. It's hard to know what to appreciate more: the all-caps prepositions; the sentence fragments that begin the fifth and sixth paragraphs, the run-on sentences, the frequent exclamation points!, the quotation from her parents' refrigerator magnet, the basketball analogy, the proposed logic of quitting so as not to be a quitter, or the grammatically incorrect final sentence framing the misattributed punchline, which was actually said not by General Douglas MacArthur but by General Oliver P. Smith. I especially like the capital O of "Outside" in "Outside special interests," which reminds us that the world consists of two parts: Alaska, and Outside.
But what I most enjoy is the authenticity of this text; there can be no question that Governor You Betcha wrote it herself {wink}."

pegged by palin, odd you share a fantasy with hannity
My favorite part during her diatribe was when the camera turned around to show the 8 or so people gathered in her backyard listening to her ramble on.
She's such a fucking joke.

I don't think "providentially" means what she thinks it means.
So, is she seriously planning to run for president? I'm guessing her strategy will be the "dumb-as-nails good-ol' gal" thing that got Bush elected for 2 terms?
Maybe she'll get nekkid.

and wtf is up with the video cameraman? some seriously amateur shit right here. it looks like it was shot with one of them $100 mini-dv ntsc camcorders with a zoom nub that is super sensitive.
it made me dizzy..the camera i mean 
Bullshit. She quit before they found out the good shit.
She made many mistakes after suddenly being thrust into the national spotlight last year, but hasn't merited the sneering contempt visited upon her by national reporters. She simply was not their kind of feminist -- and they disdained the politically incorrect life choices she had made.
Oh, BULLSHIT!
Tsk tsk, is that sneering contempt I'm hearing from you Marky McBeardsNoPants?
