After Sarah Palin's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week she has
announced she will be stepping down in a few weeks. In a press
conference call this morning, Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin has
announced she will not run for re-election and is stepping down as
governor.
She had a brief statement. She took no questions.
Her commissioners and Lt. Governor were with her at her home. Palin
did not relinquish the reigns of the state to the Lt. Governor while
running for vice president.
Lt. Governor Sean Parnell will step in as governor at the end of the
month. He was defeated by Congressman Don Young in the Republican
primary last year.
Rumors of an "iceberg scandal" have been circulating.
Resignation is certainly out of character for Sarah Palin. Senator
Mark Begich had a meeting with Sarah Palin two days ago with no
mention of her leaving office. Palin's press secretary, David Murrow
had posted on his Facebook page Wednesday, "David Murrow is
considering life's ironies." He was hired less than a month ago.
Yesterday he wrote, "There's gonna be some fireworks this weekend!"
Palin's father, Chuck Heath, told Fox News that he thought her
resignation was due to the negativity from the media. According to
Heath, the governor was unable to be effective while she was
constantly having to defend herself against ethics complaints and the
media.
You betcha!

That would be shrewd, genius.
If shrewed was a word, it no doubt be a verb and used to describe the
behavior of Sarah Palin towards someone. As in, "Sarah Palin is a
shrew; she shrewed me by talking about me behind my back."
On this, the weekend of the anniversary of the birth of our nation,
I'd like to say our founding Fathers would be oh so proud of your

Sarah, You Blew It
by Reihan Salam
April 16, 2009 | 12:39pm
Anchorage Daily News, MCT / Landov Conservative blogger Reihan Salam
once loudly backed America's hockey mom. But as her botched return to
Alaska gets even messier, he's ready for a divorce.
Levi Johnston, a 19-year-old with a perhaps undeserved reputation as a
backwoods simpleton, has done what Barack Obama and Joe Biden and
sneering liberals and cringing conservatives couldn’t: He has killed
off Sarah Palin as a serious contender for the next Republican
presidential nomination. And I have to say, this depresses the hell
out of me.
By now everyone knows about Johnston’s on-again, off-again romance
with Palin’s daughter Bristol. During the campaign, the fact that
Bristol was pregnant with Johnston’s child sparked a minor culture
war, with pro-lifers rallying to the Palin family’s defense while a
coalition of censorious snobs from the left and the right blasted
Bristol for her irresponsibility. Back then, the official line from
the Palins was that Levi and Bristol were getting married—and indeed,
Levi had an elaborate finger tattoo to prove it. At the time, I found
the Bristol-Levi story incredibly affecting. Here were two kids who
were probably in over their heads, but they were trying to make it
work. And here is this big, sprawling, weird, wonderful American
family that had their backs during this completely wrenching time.
Palin came across as a different kind of Republican, and her slightly
messy life seemed to prove it.
Since returning to Alaska, one can’t help but get the impression that
Palin is a clownish, vindictive amateur.
But sure enough, like so many young loves, the engagement later
dissolved. Instead of just giving his would-be in-laws the stink-eye
over Thanksgiving dinner, Levi lashed out at supposedly snobbish Sarah
on the Tyra Banks show. Inevitably, the Palins counterattacked, and
the whole tawdry episode has given the Republican elite—those
mysterious, shadowy pointy-heads who control the purse strings—second
and third thoughts about Project Palin.
This is only the latest indignity in the long, slow downward spiral
that’s been Palin’s brief career as a national figure, as everything
clever and distinctive about her has been replaced by an
unrecognizable Reaganite fembot caricature. Months before Palin was
selected as McCain’s running mate, I told anyone who’d listen that
she’d be the shrewdest pick. When she addressed the Republican
National Convention in Saint Paul, I was utterly electrified. But
during the latter days of the campaign, I started hearing rumors about
how top-level McCain backers were shuttling back-and-forth to Alaska
to put out various fires, and of course there has been a steady
drumbeat of stories about Palin’s low-level abuse of power. Then there
is the fact that the national Republican Party has destroyed much of
what was great about Sarah Palin, and she let them do it.
For all its virtues, Alaska has a very quirky political culture, one
that doesn’t always translate in the lower 48. At first, this was
Palin’s strength. She wasn’t a Southern evangelical, a familiar—some
would say overfamiliar—figure in Republican politics. Rather, she was
a Northern evangelical, with an accent that almost made her sound like
a Minnesotan. Despite her meteoric rise as a foot soldier of Wasilla’s
Christian right, she also cut a strangely post-partisan figure in her
early days as governor. As she told The New Yorker’s Philip Gourevitch
long before she was selected as McCain’s running mate, she was
actually glad that Barack Obama was polling well in Alaska because it
represented a challenge to the status quo. Suffice to say, most rising
Republican stars would stick to praising John McCain.
Palin was quirky in another respect: Recognizing that Alaska had to
carve out its own path, she broke with Beltway Republicans in
supporting a windfall-profits tax on oil companies among other
populist measures. But once Palin signed up as McCain’s running mate,
she couldn’t talk up the windfall-profits tax, one of her central
accomplishments, because the Republicans in Congress bitterly opposed
it. Palin also had a gift for communicating policy details in homespun
language. Soon after meeting the McCain team, she reportedly pressed
for proposals that she could sell to working mothers and small-
business owners and other key constituencies. The sad truth is that
the McCain platform, a mish-mash that reflected the often-
contradictory input of dozens of advisers and donors, didn’t give her
much to work with. Sarah Palin thus became red meat for the base—the
pitbull with lipstick.
Palin’s campaign antics can be forgiven. What can’t be forgiven is the
ham-handed way she’s tried to build her national profile since she
returned to Alaska. She’s abandoned the bold right-left populism that
won over Alaska voters—and me—in the first place in favor of an
increasingly defensive and harsh partisanship. After making her name
as a determined enemy of Alaska’s corrupt Republican establishment,
she recently called for Democratic Sen. Mark Begich to step down so
the hilariously crooked Ted Stevens could get another crack at the
seat. She loudly promised to leave federal stimulus money on the table
before clawing that promise back with a whimper. One can’t help but
get the impression that Palin is a clownish, vindictive amateur.
Now, for example, Palin is raising hackles for naming colorful
crackpot Wayne Anthony Ross to be Alaska’s attorney general. It turns
out that Palin may have consulted with Ross over a state senate
appointment, a move that would have been against state law. As a
general matter, state law is something you might want your AG to be on
top of.
What I’m wondering is: Has Sarah Palin undergone some kind of secret
lobotomy?

Oh, if only I could be sure this meant we would never see her again.
Personally, I think Bristol got knocked up again.

Do you mean "shrewd" or "shrewed?"
Lidsville Nine
Dummy, it makes a difference. If you made sense now and then, people
might deduce that you meant to use the expected word. However, the
slim possibility existed that you might have made a clever pun. Thanks

First "tom" has violated the AGC charter which prohibits spelling flames.
Then he can't answer the simple questions, rather attack on something small
like spelling or tense of a word. Third, he can only repeat left wing
talking points, without any ideas of his own.
Thus, Tom is an (or a) ASSHOLE!

I'm not a loser. Your premise is flawed.
I'm a college graduate, well-employed tax-paying patriot. I contribute

So please define loser. If I were an uneducated simpleton, such as

Your premise was flawed. I'm not an asshole, therefore I cannot
possibly answer the question, "Why are you a asshole?" Besides, I can
only answer a question written in English, not gibberish.

Contrary to what you've demonstrated on various newsgroups over the
years, words and their proper usage are important. There's a reason
you are not writing important documents such as treaties and
legislation.

The spelling flame is the signal of a lost argument, regardless of
whether the contents of said flame are accurate. Rob CLAIMS to have
Asperger's, which would account for his inability to control his
emotional outburst and his wholly inappropriate comments. Still, he
seems to function perfect well to me, and I think that he uses that
as an excuse, along with his diabetes and lost toe to attach himself
permanently to my taxpaying tit. Throwing the fact that you're a
patriot makes him feel guilty. Sadly, it won't be enough to make
him get off his malingering ass and support himself.
