Palin Says She Will Resign as Alaska Governor
By ADAM NAGOURNEY and JIM RUTENBERG
Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska announced Friday that she was quitting her job at the end of the month, a move that shocked Republicans across the country and fueled both renewed speculation about her presidential ambitions and criticism of her political competence.
Ms. Palin’s decision, announced with her family in front of a lake at her home in Wasilla, set off widespread speculation in Republican circles that she is preparing for a run for the presidency in 2012. Ms. Palin, 45, was supposed to serve as governor through the end of 2010; on Friday, she said she would cede control of the state to the lieutenant governor, Sean Parnell, on July 25.
Ms. Palin announced the decision in an often rambling press conference, in which she invoked the words of General Douglas MacArthur and the rules of basketball, but offered few clues about her intentions. Instead, she said she had decided not to seek re-election when her term expires, and that she thought it would be unfair to her constituents to remain in office as a lame duck.

It falls to the likes of Lewis Carroll to offer voluptuous truths:
Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
The Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.
Alice: I don't much care where--
The Cat: Then it doesn't matter which way you go.
Alice: --so long as I get somewhere.
The Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that, if you only walk long enough.
Alice: What sort of people live about here?
The Cat: In that direction lives a Hatter:
and in that direction, lives a March Hare.
Visit either you like: they're both mad.
Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
The Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
Alice: How do you know I'm mad?
The Cat: You must be or you wouldn't have come here.

Madness is a form of innocence. These fuckres are in no way innocent, nor are they mad-purely calculating.
The electoral support they gin up is from the truly mad. Who could listen to her press conference and think, "This person should be President of the United States"? Who could listen to her press conference and think, "This person should manage a Dunkin Donuts"?
Comrade - Ron Christie, who might be the most delusional human in the US (along with Pat Buchanan) spun the Princess' speech to mean this is good for the GOP. she would run a dunkin donuts into the ground.
there is no doubt something is a brewing and it aint dunkin donuts coffee - a woman with an ego the size of Russia (which she cannot see from that backyard) doesnt throw in the towel so fast.
mark sanford is still the happiest guy in the world
While they are not innocent, they are definitely bugfuck crazy. I'm going to bet a lot of this has to do with her 11 million dollar book deal and she is at heart a lazy, unreliable piece of shit. Alaskans may go piss up a rope. Although this is probably very good news for them.
Something's brewing, and I'm betting it is financial.
The choice of a Friday holiday news-dump on top of the MJ emo-fest is a strong indicator. How much crap did Dubya and his circus drop on Fridays? She's learned that bit of political theatre apparently.
You do realize that the Republican Party's gone as mad as a bloody march hare!
Curiouser and curiouser.
Why do I have the nagging feeling that somewhere there is a video tape, or an audio recording..or even an incriminating document, that was mailed to the govs office with the message: Go away now, or this hits the new cycle fan tommorow....
Although, it would seem at first glance that her capacity for public humiliation (self inflicted for the most part) knows no bounds...This kind of "spur of the moment" exit, reeks of Argentinian rendevouxs...and bathroom stall encounters. In short: She is a finger pointing high profile republican, a huge supply of skeletons just come with the package..
You fucking rock, as usual.
My buddy called me and asked if I had heard about this, I hadn't, I was out getting drunk as a piss boiled owl but I told him there must be a GIANT fucking scandal on the horizon if this playa bitch is resigning.
Too sweet.
Bye By Caribou Barbie, take Joe the Monkey Fuck with ya.
oh thank you thank you for being Driftglass!
I am reminded of the PBS special I just watched on the traditional Japanese method of making katanas, for some reason...
