Betty, I think the lady herself can clear it up for you.

That’s why I say I, like every American I’m speaking with, we’re ill about this position that we have been put in. Where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh, it’s got to be about job creation, too. Shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade — we have got to see trade as opportunity, not as, uh, competitive, um, scary thing, but one in five jobs created in the trade sector today. We’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All of those things under the umbrella of job creation.

There’s got to be more to this story. Either the First Dude has been caught boinking Greta, or Palin has gone completely off the deep end and believes her own press.

HuffPo mentions rumors of something called “Iceberg Scandal” is brewing.

Either way, don’t let the door hit ya in the ass, Bible Spice.

I’m betting on soon-to-come indictments for misuse of public office.

I want to speculate, but my mind is too busy boggling to figure out what it could be.  Since she and reality only have a passing acquaintance, who knows?  I just assume it’s really juicy.

She’s going to Jerusalem to have herself crowned Queen of Christendom by Joe the Baptist-Plumber.
Bet on it.

Like dewberry I’m trying to get my brain out of the boggle state.  The folks I would usually ask for clarification are out of town.

So, I’ll just have to go with my instinct: she was uncomfortable with the puma support.

PUMAfail.

she wouldnt be doing this if she was looking for maximum publicity in her bid for the Presidency or Senate..methinks some news report is gonna come out that Trig isnt her baby or that she was caught banging some dude other than her husband..or that her husband was caught banging Greta Van SucksomeShit

I’m betting against the taking-time-to-learn-about-President-stuff theory.

After three years of intensive study and preparation by the Heritage Foundation, she could be the “dumb” Newt Gingrich, the “young” Fred Thompson or the “more creepily earnest” Mike Huckabee. But people who think she’s going to listen to Ronald Reagan audio tapes for three years and magically turn into William F. Buckley in drag just don’t comprehend the magnitude of the leadership/electability deficit she’s starting out with.

She was abused out of it by women hating evil men who can only be controlled by the sending of more donations to Darragh Murphy.

In the presidential race she took credit for quite a few policies that were achieved by liberal leaning reformers over her opposition and the opposition of her conservative base in Alaska.

She is now alienated from that base and unlikely to be re-elected. If she quits now, none of that shit will come out in the Alaska Gov race, and she can skate on her former reputation as a very popular governer.

If she stays she’s a sitting duck and the sooner she gets out the better, I imagine the state is totally bankrupt, she IS a republican after all, and will need a huge bailout or half the population will freeze to death this winter. Not good for her rugged individualist resume’.

Quite frankly, it’s the result of appliances. Specifically, her parents’ talking refrigerator:

First things first: as Governor, I love my job and I love Alaska. It hurts to make this choice but I am doing what’s best for Alaska. I’ve explained why… though I think of the saying on my parents’ refrigerator that says “Don’t explain: your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe you anyway.”

Independence Day First of July radio special:

Paul Robeson
William Burroughs
Alix Olson
Don Byron with Nu Blacksploitation
Danny Glover reads Fredrick Douglass
Orson Wells confused by John Brown
Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie sing war of 1812

Great. Rick Sanchez of Fox wonders if she resigned because she’s pregnant again.

At least give her the dignity of assuming she’s resigning for the same ethics violations any man would resign for!

There’s no doubt about it, after this weird decision, she’s the Tonya Harding of politics.

Now we can better understand the exhausted, stoic expressions on the faces of her dazed children; they’re used to surprises from Mom. In a way, I feel like we’re all Sarah’s children now.

Dammit, I DEMAND a post in which one of you round up the PUMA reactions. Checking out the comments section at the Confluence was hilarious in a mean way—it was like watching ants scurry around after someone dropped the ant farm.

Long Time First Time, on behalf of our ant friends everywhere, I demand an apology for comparing them to PUMAs. ;)

The confluence was however the funniest of the PUMA breakdown sites tonight. All their claims of being a Liberal blog, exposed by Saint Hillary The Second of Wolf hunting herself. Yeat another Palin PAC site.

What bollocks (not you obviously, trollhattan)!

Who amongst us hasn’t said, when a friend quits their job, “What the fuck* did you do that for?” to them?

*delete if you speak more polite than I do

Might she be one of Mark Sanford’s “almost had” affairs?

Most speculation from AK centers on new action on the old story that Sarah and Todd’s dream house was built with free labor and materials skimmed from the lavish sports complex with which Palin saddled the town of Wasilla.  You know, the kind of stuff they convicted Ted Young for.

Let’s hope the Holder DoJ can run a competent investigation and prosecution so that she can sent away to prison long time.

Palin’s further whining about the media and scrutiny reminds me of a famous line from GlenGarry Glenross:

You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can’t take this — how can you take the abuse you get on a sit?!
