Fmr. Bush Aide Says Alaska Gov. Was Not Straight About Resignation, Needs to Shore Up Her Political "Achilles' Heels"

[talk_down_2_you]

Why not quote someone from the present instead of a 70-year old WW2 reference... she's just quitting in another direction. She got there the latest with the leastest to paraphrase an even older war reference.

But at least she's doing what's best for Alaska. Quitting. It's all someone else's fault isn't it? Liek Bush, she will never admit to being wrong or being a wrong doer. Some people call that lying.

yeah!!! I can't stand hearing about her ramblings any more! Even her resignation speech was incoherent. I still can't believe McCain's people vetted this moron. A simple 1 minute conversation pretty sums it up: mindless vacuum. I actually feel really badly for her... the real idiots in this debacle are the ones that thought she was VP material. Sure she's nice, pretty and popular, but we all know were that criteria gets us! As a woman-role model, she's clearly set us back a few decades. Nice work, Sarah! She's never failed to disappoint those who think a woman can't handle a tough job. Quitting as Governor is the icing on their cake.

Dan Bartlett and Sarah Palin are male and female specimens of the same species of idiot.

Palin is an IQUITAROD dogsled competitor who can't even finish a race.

As a mother, I can understand trying to protect your family. If she wasn't the involved in the presidental elections, she would be just another Governer, her family, especially her daughter and new grandchild would not be constantly under the microscope, with lies and private things all out for everyone to see/hear. She has decide to go a new direction, something less toxic to her and her family, she will be sadly missed, she has done a lot for her state, but it seems all you hear is all the gossip magazines attacking her family. It was a very unselfish thing to put her children first, before her career. Hopefully she can find something that is better for her and her family.

How long do you think it will be before she has a talk shown of lying Fox "news?". Did you notice last week on the Terry Sanford clips the lying wife-cheating governor of South Carolina that Fox had him listed as a democrat in the graphics, just like they did with Larry CRaig the wide-stance restroom solicitor. They knew both were leadign repugs who had called on Clinton to resign the presidency for his no where near as major indescretions that the repubs spent nearly $60-million investigating.

Palin will be a regular on Fox and try to use that as a springboard back into politics.

Sarah Palin's Greatest Hits:

"I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out." (July 7, 2009.)

"It's all for Alaska." (Asked by Time why she resigned, July 7, 2009).

"In what respect, Charlie?" (Asked by ABC's Charles Gibson if she agreed with the Bush Doctrine, September 11, 2008.)

"Let me speak specifically about a credential that I do bring to this table, Charlie, and that's with the energy independence that I've been working on for these years as the governor of this state that produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy..." (Misunderstanding Alaska's 3.5% share of U.S. domestic energy production, September 11, 2008.)

"We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America." (October 16, 2008.)

"A task that is from God." (On the war in Iraq, June 8, 2008.)

"I think God's will has to be done, in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that." (June 8, 2008.)

"To me, it motivates us, makes us work that much harder. And it also strengthens my faith, because I'm going to know, at the end of the day, putting this in God's hands, that the right thing for America will be done at the end of the day on Nov. 4. So I'm not discouraged at all." (Asked if she was discouraged by polls showing the McCain-Palin ticket trailing, October 22, 2008.)

"As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?" (August 1, 2008.)

"That's something that Piper would ask me!...[T]hey're in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom." (asked by third grader Brandon Garcia what the Vice President does, October 20, 2008.)

to libscrytoo: Are the republicans and independents that criticize or as you say "taunt" her also pathetic. Remember, she is the one that ran for office. No one asked her into our lives. She thrust herself onto the scene. Onbviously she can make a lot more money outside of the service sector and more in the private sector. Also, your second sentence: "To" should read "Too" and blindfolds is one word. By the way, do you see the "whole picture?" You sound awfully partisan. It could just be me though.
