this is one of the most comedic posts you have done, ya go on with your bad self danny and drink that berry blue

For those that are interested in the politics of what Palin has done (as aside from the character attacks, 'Electoral-Vote.com' has a really interesting article on the implications this action has for both Palin for the presumed nominees for 2012. I've pasted the article below.

Electoral-vote.com: Election news

Uh, um, uh, uh, um, uh, who are you um, uh, uh, um, um, saying is um, um, uh, uh, um, uh, in over, um, um, uh, uh, um, uh, uh, uh, um, their heads?

The scandal scenario seems odd to me, it'd be easier to protect herself and obfuscate while in office.

Maybe; it's possible she just wants to chill and get out of the media spotlight, and don't care about the presidential race. Either way she's out of it. So who right now would be most likely to get the Republican nomination?
Original Candidates like Mike Huckaby, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliany, a big R republican like Newt Giengrich, or maybe a State wide Rep. like, Bobby Jindal or Susan Collins, public official like Colin Powell, or some big name like Sean Hannity, or just a random conservative?

I don't know, at this point there is no frontrunner in the Republican Primary, even just speculative.

Anyone who's been paying any attention to the GOP race for 2012 would may be interested to know that Mississippi Gov Haley Barbour has made two trips so far this year to Iowa and New Hampshire......

Sorry, it's hard to keep track sometimes.

Are you favoring exile or outright mass murder for the "goddam republicans" you want to get rid of?

You've swung back and forth a few times on the means, and I want to make sure I understand what you are advocating these days.

Palin is an idiot and so is Bush. However, Bush won the Presidency so what does that tell you? Intelligence is not required to get the job, even if it's essential to do the job. Americans are perfectly capable of electing idiots to the highest office, and they will do so again.

Palin has dug herself in a hole not because of a lack of intelligence but because when handed the biggest opportunity of her life, she turned lazy and came out unprepared. Nevertheless, Palin's strength is her ability to articulate the social conservatives' mood in a way that's endearing to them.

The social conservative (and majority) segment of the GOP want a simple hockey-Mom as Pres; these folks are, after all, completely uneducated and are therefore turned off by politicians who rattle off big, complicated words like "sovereignty", "supply and demand", "retaliation", etc.

But Palin never uses those terms, because she, like the conservative audience she addresses, doesn't know what they mean.

Furthermore, they like vote for anyone who opposes abortion and has stayed married to his/her spouse for a long time and who isn't gay and is Xtian.

Palin's real weakness is not her lack of noodle; it's her perceived lack of foreign policy experience--key word: perceived. John McNutt never had any foreign policy noodle, either, but the social conservatives felt he was an expert on the subject because he was old and got shot down multiple times in Nam.

Here second big weakness is that she's a woman, and when the conditions are right for GOP pol to win the Presidency, i. e. when another 9/11-style has occurred, the social conservatives are less likely to elect a woman than a man because they believe that "women can't fight like men."

Sarah Palin posted the following on her Facebook profile yesterday:

I shared with you yesterday my heartfelt and candid reasons for this change; I’ve never thought I needed a title before one’s name to forge progress in America. 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. I hope you will join me. Now is the time to rebuild and help our nation achieve greatness!

God bless you! And I look forward to making a difference – with you!

Doesn't exactly sound like someone, who is pulling out of the race...

Whoa! Palin screwed up--she used a grown-up word: "fiscal." A big no no there.

She also failed to talk about "family values" and "abortion." She's slipping.

Yes, but you completely missed Steve's point: after the pirate ordeal was over, Obama failed to do a dance in the end zone.
