The game Palin was in was ugly, dangerous and rigged. Her party and fellow republican did not come to her aid or protect her, she was on the court by herself with a vicious opponent. Where is even common decency in this country. Letterman hit the low mark. If she is out of politics, she left with grace and her head held high. God bless Palin and her sweet family.
I truly hope she’s not ending her political career. She is a smart, competent leader who actually believes in the Constitution, if you can imagine such a thing.
"A good point guard doesn't follow a good pass by walking off the court."
They do if they just fouled out. Or if they're about to just foul out...
Nice letter, Mr. Samuelson. But she's more than unstable. She's absolutely stupid. And uninformed. And ignorant of her own ignorance. I pray that she will just disappear, out of the limelight, left only to raise her brood of kids.
I wish no ill health on John McCain, but if he does become incapacitated sometime in the next seven years we will be reminded of how close we came to having nutty Sarah Palin running the country (assuming she hadn't quit yet).
She does walk off the court if she knows that's what's best for the team. It's called self-sacrifice. What Palin did for the people of Alaska is what Bill Clinton would have done for all Americans had he been driven by honor, rather than ego.
Palin is the most selfish politician I have seen in 54 years. It's all about her, and then blame others for her miscues. Go away, Palin!
Her rambling wreck of a resignation speech was tedious. Nobody is even sure what she said.
She is dumber than a mud fence, and a huge liability to the GOP.
Thank GOD that the senile old fart and the ditzy broad were not elected.

Only a person without any brains at all thinks Palin is smart.
I'm sorry, but Palin resembled more a bumbling, fumbling, unintelligent, hillbilly, and completely incompetent Greg Ostertag than a smooth, clever, intelligent, capable, leader like John Stockton or Deron Williams.
Palin has the potential to become america's female Bob Hope, she is funny and she has the features, antics, and material to pull it off. She will make a good comedian, but a real poor political leader.
The metaphor becomes even better if the reference is made about the Center. As governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin was the central person responsible for looking after the people of her state. However, she decided to surrender that position and give the people of Alaska a slap in the face.
She decided she didn't want that job anymore. For whatever reason, her actions are an indicator of her commitment to the task. This speaks volumes about her character and is an indicator of how she would be in national office.
What would people say if David Petraeus, commanding General for Afganistan and Iraq, were to just up and quit his job because it's become too controversial? It a sure bet he would never occupy a similar position ever again!
Even the best point guards have to leave the game when the opponent plays dirty. When every time you go for a shot and the other team cuts your legs out from under you and then spits in your face while you're lying on the ground,and then goes into the stands and slaps your children, eventually you'll get so beat up you have to leave the game. What's even worse is when the referees turn their heads away to avoid calling the fouls.
The one's who are dumber than a mud fence are those who still believe electing Obama was a good idea. Palin may not be the best choice, but she would have been better than what we have. The vitrol from the left is a good indicator that there is more to her than meets the eye. They are obviously afraid of her.
There you go again. When will you realize that you are championing the cause of a corpse, the Republican party?
But we love to see you squirm.
Keep writing pal. The pain, hand-wringing, and crying from the right are SUCH a pleasure for us.
You and your kind ran our country into the gutter, and now you stand there, shaking your fist.
Please continue to post and let us see your pain and suffering. It does us good.
Have a nice day.
Mike
Regardless of how qualified or not Palin happens to be, she's accomplished 10x more than BHO in her career as a politician and would've been a thousand times better than the wolf in sheep's clothing we have in office now. It's always been a shameful reflection on our society to see how the liberal media is believed by those uneducated followers out there. Good thing BHO will be gone in 4 years, hopefully he hasn't utterly destroyed our country and what our forefathers worked and died for by then.
Palin proved Obama to be a fool, and she refused to have an abortion. That's why liberals hate her guts. But what I don't understand is why these men would talk about a woman like they do. Are their mothers proud of them?
BHO is going to be our president for 7 1/2 more years.
The republicans haven't got a clue whom to offer up, nor any clue as to how to run a country.
Read this and weep.
And you can thank the GOP themselves for all this.
It is they who shot themselves in the foot, staging a senile mad old man alongside a goofy dame.
That's the best you have?
You better HOPE that the democrats hold sway for a few terms. God help us otherwise.

She's the Keith Mccleod of politics!
