Palin, Sanford, Jindal ... Can it BE this easy???
Unfreaking real. Get ready for Romney-Huckabee as one target afer another rolls by and self-destructs. If something untoward happens to Mitt Rushmore or Reverend Mike, Obama is going to have to run against the Washington Generals, whose sole purpose was to be beaten by the Harlem Globetrotters every night.
I'm listening now to her absurd, ridiculous speech while I keystroke this. What the Hell is she saying?? And how utterly, completely, stupid does John McCain look now? The words "politics of personal destruction" should have burned her mouth as she said them.
I can't write fast enough, I can't think fast enough to keep up with the GOP's self-destruction. She's talking like an employee that a manager really wanted to fire, but she wasn't quite bad enough, and then she quits because she's all pouty over how the lunch breaks were assigned.
Oh, yeah, there it is, "Support for our troops" -- had to be in there somewhere.
Can David Letterman take his apology back now?
Should someone have told her that she was babbling? Good Gawd what a blithering idiot. "Some governors have fun as lame ducks." I don't know about the "duck" part, but ...
Funny thing is, I'm going to miss her.
No I'm not.
What a prize weenie. Maybe she's another-other (another Nutter Butter?) woman in the Sanford affair.
Don't be deceived. Republicans aren't going away by any stretch. Just getting rid of some deadwood in the off season. When next season rolls around they'll be ready to play.

Look for her hiking the Appalachian Trail. Is anyone sure she hasn't been spending time in Argentina?

All the addlepated GOP ninnyhammers on TV saying this is a "good move" must not have heard the speech very clearly.
[The audience members at the back of the crowd are having trouble hearing the Sermon on the Mount.]
Man: I think it was, "Blessed are the cheesemakers"!
Gregory's wife: What's so special about the cheesemakers?
Gregory: Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

As much as I would love to believe this means the end for Palin's political career, I'm just not buying. Although I suppose faux could have made an offer she couldn't refuse...Short of that I think there is a method to her madness.

Exactly.

It would, no it might, be fun to see her on faux. Let's hope?

Now, I hadn't considered another scandal...that is yet another possibility.

Who knows? She has the ego to want to be the next Oprah, or next POTUS. In the meantime would like to thank the GOP for a very entertaining couple of weeks
By the way, Pat Buchannan is on tape calling her latest move shrewd & stating, of course she's running in 2012. That just might have been a little premature, & he just might regret that. Most rightwing pundits thought it was as crazy as everyboby else did.

At least Ed Rollins had the yarbles to call it what is it -- "political suicide."

Buchanan will change his mind by the next episode of McLaughlin Group, especially if it allows him to disagree with Monica Crowley.
By Sunday, more will be revealed and the people saying that Palin is gearing up for a 2012 run will look silly.

Nutter Butter. Never liked the cookie, but I understand it used to be popular.

It is too early to gloat about Republican self-destruction. In 2005, three years before the last election, the Republicans might have been tempted to celebrate. "Those Democrats are in a real pickle, aren't they? I mean, who do they have - Kerry's a has-been, Gore's another, and Edwards just can't hack it. What are they gonna do, run that black guy from Illinois?"
(No, I wasn't referring to Alan Keyes).

Oh I'm not gloating -- just marveling at the phenomenon and it just keeps getting worse. Plus the world has changed since 2005, in ways that severely damage the GOP proposition.
