Palin Announcement Forthcoming

By: David Morgan
Topics: Republicans

The office of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin issued a press release today saying she will make an announcement from her home in Wasilla today at 11:00 a.m. local time (3:00 p.m. ET).

There was no indication as to the topic of the announcement.

CBSNews.com producer Scott Conroy, who covered Palin's vice presidential campaign last year, said it is rare that Palin sends a press release out nationally.

Sarah Palin only wants to CAMPAIGN and not really have any responsiblilty to hold her down, much like she does with her own family?; Reply to this comment

I'll bet there is a scandal of some sort ready to break. We will be hearing plenty more from Palin, watch! But it won't be anything to do with a presidential run. America KNOWS she is too stupid to be the POTUS. She can't even make a public announcement with some degree of clarity and brevity. It's all a rambling mumble jumbo!

I do know that there were a group of bearded Muslim tourists in Alaska doing some hunting recently. I'll bet Palin saw one from a distance, thought he was a moose, grabbed her gun and shot the poor guy!; Reply to this comment

HAHAAAAA LMAO?

Colin Powell was right, she was in no way 'ready' for the presidency.

Then from Russia, she can announce her candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. Row, Sarah, row!

P.S. That would also make her an expert in the Rowe vs Wade court decision, too!; Reply to this comment

It has been learned that the "Caribeau Barbie" of the Northland will make an announcement and rumor has it she is resigning as governer of Alaska, and announcing that Alaska will secede from the Union, this becoming its own seperate country with her "First Dude" Todd as its new President.

She will also announce that Todd's first act will be to sign an alliance with Russia which would insure that Alaska would be protected by Dimitri Medvedev and Vladimar Putin against the Corporate America Socialists Nazis running the USA!

Caribeau Barbie will devote her time working to make the moose, caribeau, and polar bear extinct and taking target practice with her new arsenal of AK-47's!

YOU BETCHA!!!!!

HAIL OBAMA?????????

She's probably been caught red handed in some illegal escapade, and is resigning in the hope everything will just blow over.

: )

Okay, being this happy over the thought of someone getting into trouble, is BAD. I gotta go. I feel like Scrooge (Alistaire Sims) did when he found out that it was still Christmas. GIDDY.; Reply to this comment

Nobody can quit mid term and stay in politics, right?

Let's hope not.

I suggest we all get down on our knees and pray. Even if you don't "believe", give it a try anyways.

She also said there is a national effort to take picking apart a good point guard. Poor poor Sarah, quitting! I am definately praying with thanks that she is totally out of the picture for any political future.
