OMFSM!  I cannot wait to head over to C4P.  It will be utterly delicious!

What does she sell now? Soap? RV timeshares? Boy brass bands?

Even Ryan O’Neal’s character in Paper Moon had something to sell the rubes.

Historians will look back at this episode—I use the word in its medical sense here—in our history and many a Ph.D. will be spawned from the WTF.

Go for the Open Thread in the upper right, and click to the back pages. It’s up to 1300 comments, although I don’t think they got the bad news until it was already at 800 or so.

Her Facebook Page should be fun, too.

Oh, and of course, some of them are in denial:

@YAFB — Sorry, my comment is now redundant. ;->

Shorter Palin: “I can make more money by continuing to be a public scold than I could by being president.”

So the political pricktease finally admits she was never actually going to put out. This is me not being surprised in the slightest.

As stupid as Sarah Palin is, I suspect even she had to realize that she never had a chance of getting the nomination, and even if she somehow did, she would have gone down in flames long before the actual election.

File this one under “anticlimactic”.

I imagine that Sully is going to have quite a sad about all of this.  Perhaps he’ll obsess over someone else’s pregnancy from now on.

Dammit, I was looking forward to her campaign. Schadenfreude has been mighty scarce lately…

Despite all the other clowns in the GOP Shit Show Fail Parade, popcorn futures are down. Sell! Sell, Mortimer! Sell!

This MUST be a feint, because she would NEVER have strung along C4P and Organizing4Palin this long just to bail, right?

Does she get to keep all the money we sent her and spend it on herself or now that she isn’t running will she refund all of our money?

Ah, a n00b.

We must reduce tax burdens and onerous regulations that kill American industry, and our candidates must always push to minimize government to strengthen the economy and allow the private sector to create jobs.

You know I always thought farming was a private type thing and yet if you took away the Government subsidies from American farmers image the noise!

The guy who does the business section on TV3 (Michael something) said the other month that Republicans are full of shit because they go on about welfare but they’d scream to the high heavens about taking away farmer subsidies to save money.

As stupid as Sarah Palin is, I suspect even she had to realize that she never had a chance of getting the nomination,

I don’t think she seriously thought about running, it was all a money making scam.  Now I’ve asked before about the PAC and if she could use it for herself when she wasn’t doing anything political (as in running, not mouthing off…I can do that!).  What are the rules on PACS?

Oh sweet schadenfreude, how I’ve missed you!

btw is that Louis person on drugs or taking the piss?

Greta’s show tonight might be fun.

Folks, The email said that she would not seek the GOP Nomination for President. It did not say that she would not run for President.  Lets wait to hear it from her!!

They’ve gone full Great Pumpkin over there.

I’m definitely in love.  Whatever LouisLouis4 is, I want to bear its clone.

btw is that Louis person on drugs or taking the piss?

You tell me.

Now hang on just a goldarn minute there:

Now hang on just a goldarn minute there:

*bows*

My first instinct is that he/she’s taking the piss but I’m cynical like that.

Business man Michael thingy was on the telly (I turned it on to see if they said anything) just now with stock market figures and whatnot and he said America had a strong employment figure (whatever that means).

If it means Obama is doing good just remember Sarah will always think he’s full of shit.

Now hang on just a goldarn minute there:

*bows*

Are your ears burning?

C4P has finally put up an announcement thread:

From Fasc, I mean Freerepublic:

Do we know that this is really her voice on the radio? Could it be another Karl Rove plot using Tina Faye?

This is really awesome. Oh, the schadenfreude!

I’d missed the announcement on our news ‘cos I was reading here.  The summary mentioned she hadn’t endorsed anybody for President.

Now how about that 45% pay cut Fox Television want the actors on The Simpsons to take?

I was waiting for the quote that would bring me to tears of laughter; here it is!

She will be on the record with Greta tonight and for the first time I WILL NOT be watching….betrayed is not the word that is strong enough for me, I was ready to help, I was ready to give, and I will NOT be running over to Walmart now for the DVD, which I went to get at 5am this morning….glad I didn’t get it.

Oh well.

Did someone mention her FB page?

Sarah Palin…I fear so much for America. I’m sure the Left believes we are now finished without you for you were their greatest fear. [Again, why do these clowns persist in thinking loud hoots of laughter = afraid?] I understand you decision but right now, I’m feeling a great sense of loss & sorrow. I don’t know what to tell my 4 grand-daughters. They’re little but I had them believing you were going to be our woman president.

Tell them grandma is a liar. Just like your hero.

In other news, Steve Jobs is dead?

well i for one will not turn my back on Sarah….Sarah has prayed about this and this is what she feels the Lord wants her to do….I for one honor her for flowing the guidance of the Lord…am i disappointed more than you will ever know but to ask her to go against the leading of the Lord would condemn not only her but everything she would have tried to do and it would have been in her own strength and that would have meant failure….i have said before if God wants her to be the next POTUS no power in the universe will be able to stop it but it appears God has other plans for our dear Sarah and i for one will not question God and his plans for her…now as far as some of the comments here i would only ask for everyone to step back and wait a while before saying something you may wish you could take back at a future time…..I WILL NOT BE A FAIR WEATHER FRIEND…..GOD BLESS SARAH PALIN AND HER FAMILY

Funny how the Lord keeps telling her to quit. Maybe there’s a larger message there?

Couldn’t resist.

i have said before if God wants her to be the next POTUS no power in the universe will be able to stop it

So ... Whoever is the White House is there because God wants him/her to be there.

Fine. Vote Barack Obama lest ye be visited with boils. (Or cake.)

The Facebook comments are definitely going to be a treat.  This particular historical analogy caught my eye:

“DON’T GIVE UP! Abraham Lincoln, creator of the Republican, never did and he created an awesome party for American so much so, after so many loses, he won by this fact alone.”

Awesome.

@Tom65 — You reminded me of this comment I copied from C4P just a week or two back:

This war has not yet begun. What has been seen of the other candidates to date has been nothing but minor and irrelevant skirmishing. Candidates in…candidates out….candidates winning….candidates losing…..candidates saying silly things…..candidates saying cogent, insightful things…..candidates being personally attacked by the msm (including fox) and the intelligencia…the msm in a spin trying to attack all the candidates all the time…..or trying to ignore them….and there are some candidates being hailed as the “stain eradicator”.....

It is a very, very long way to November, 2012. There is no need to rush. In her mind’s eye, Mrs. Palin smiles knowingly and remembers the words of Napolean, “Never interupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” and General Patton, “Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a tin horn!”

When she arrives, you can count on total war. She has learned how to fight. She has been through this before….all the way to election day. She does not spin; she does not back away from principles; she means exactly what she says…and says exactly what she means. She builds a base of support because of who and what she is….not because of who or what she panders to.

Patience…..patience….

Wait for it!

And keep the faith…

Strange,

That C4P comment from a week ago - doesn’t that sound an awful lot like ErickSonofErickSonofErickAdInfinitum?  I mean, it’s got that special pompous, bombastic, pre-teen macho, horseshitty je-ne-sais-quoi?  If he hadn’t sworn off her, I’d be dead sure it was him.

@lacp — Wagnerian declarations of faith in the ineffable wisdom of Sarah were a daily occurrence over there, especially as the evidence she wasn’t going to run mounted.

I wish I’d kept more of them.

Speaking of Erick son of Erick, predictably he’s gone all Nelson Muntz over this news.

Good grief, I go offline for an hour or two to make dinner and when I come back Steve Jobs is dead and Sarah Palin’s site has been hacked by liberal infiltrators who want to make it seem like she won’t run for pretzeldent.

Stuff it, C4Pers.
RIP, Steve.

Time for us Obots to crow; it was all engineered with eleventy dimensional chess!

Consider for a moment, if you will, that Obama is one of the most effective presidents EVER. No, I have not lost my mind (yet). Shortly after his coronation he began inciting the feeble-minded muslim savages to once again take up the quest of world domination under the Caliphate. He has united and empowered communists, socialist, marxists, leninists, union thugs, and more TO ALL WORK IN LOCKSTEP TOGETHER with the aforementioned muslims, to destroy the LAST BASTION OF FREEDOM ON THIS VERY EARTH! He has created a perfect storm and I, for one, am not absolutely sure we will be able to stop the savages from destroying the land that I love. If you are not paying attention to what has already begun then I have no time for you. I will do my best to be beneficial to family and friends who cherish this Republic. DEEDS, NOT WORDS!

I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the advent of the Savages.

What really makes me laugh are the numerous posts about “there must have been threats to her family, and she thought it was not worth putting her family at risk”

Compared to the first black POTUS, the “threats to her family” were too much?  Really?

“DON’T GIVE UP! Abraham Lincoln, creator of the Republican, never did and he created an awesome party for American so much so, after so many loses, he won by this fact alone.”

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the advent of the Savages.

Do we open a door on a big calendar every day?

I want an Advent calendar!  I’ve never had one.

to destroy the LAST BASTION OF FREEDOM ON THIS VERY EARTH!

Oh good, I was wondering which Earth they were talking about.

Do we open a door on a big calendar every day?

Oh yes. I love doing that.

I want an Advent calendar!  I’ve never had one.

Definitely go score one, whether or not Christmas is your bag, the calendars rock. Even the silly cheap ones.

An artist friend of mine made a really nice reusable wooden Advent calendar for his girlfriend (now his wife, not surprisingly!) He made the little compartments big enough to put all sorts of goodies in, like Game Boy cartridges and that kind of thing. That calendar was one of the raddest things I’ve ever seen.

An Advent calendar with a savage in every compartment?  If I could get that, I’d start dropping acid again.

Of course she isn’t running for President- she is no more qualified to be President than Obama was, and we’ve all see the results of that gamble on hope and change. She should now focus on supporting the right candidate to replace Obama, and likely she’ll be our next Secretary of Energy, as I wrote about on my blog.

She’s a leper at a dinner party now. Prior to her quitting this time around, polling indicated that 64% of Reoublicans didn’t want her to run. I dare say she’s now alienated the remaining 36%, aside from the usual dead-enders.

And what makes you think she’d be interested in being Secretary of Energy? She just passed on the brass ring so she could continue fleeing the rubes through SarahPAC and getting a sweet paycheck from Fox for her gibberish.

I’m so glad A Conservative Teacher delivers his or her Conservative Lessons in a state other than Florida. Our schools suck badly enough as it is and are going downhill even faster with Conservative Governor Rick “Let’s Slash a Billion+ from the Education Budget So We Can Compete with Third World Countries for Shitty, Low-Paying Jobs” Scott at the helm.

Oh, and Sarah Palin will be Secretary of Energy on the day that I become Her Majesty Betty the First, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas Queen, Defender of the Faith. In other words: Na. Ga. Ha. Pen.

She should now focus on supporting the right candidate to replace Obama, and likely she’ll be our next Secretary of Energy, as I wrote about on my blog.

What a frightening thought. Palin learned a few things about oil and pipelines in a state that doesn’t have much else to think about, but I’m not sure she has any idea what’s going on in the “all of the above” energy universe.

Thanks for pimping your blog. Hope you enjoy another four years of Obama, my treat.

... as I wrote about on my blog

You have a blog? Oh, so you do.

Rather than get into a war of words with my readers

I think today’s lesson might be the distinction between plural and singular. In retrospect, I think enabling comments may have been a mistake.
