Sarah Palin says she's stepping down as governor of Alaska.
Sarah Palin says she's stepping down as governor of Alaska.
Cobia hunter-Is she going to be unemployed while seeking the 2012 election??
Actually, I believe the true story is that Palin will not be seeking a second term as governor, not that she is resigning. At least that's what's being reported by CNN. This is most likely the scenerio since she will be gearing up for a run for the GOP Nomination in 2012. If this is indeed the case, then I wonder how long it will take the liberal moonbats at MSNBC to issue a retraction.
The Anchorage Daily News wrote that Palin announced at a news conference that she will be stepping down as Governor "in a few weeks".
Lu thank for the post.
This chick's got A.D.D.
How hard would it be to stay another 18 months??
It's not like she worked while she was in office anyway..
She looks like the type that would take her lunch break and try the old "playing basketball in heels" routine.
Don't be rude to all the people who have...what were we talking about?Hey, look, a butterfly!!!!
I told you not to bring up my ADHD.
Hey, thunder. I wonder if a storm is coming??
you guys are so funny - I am soooo enjoying reading your post - just had to jump in and tell you - I can't stop laughing.
On with the Show - this is funny.
Lu the moron. Nuff said.
David the hare brain.
Nuff said.
Live AP Wire: Sarah Palin resigns as Governor of Alaska...takes new position as President of Honduras....Todd said to plan "ski" resort in mountains....
More at 5
all this after her dubious award for "Sitting Duck"...... quack quack!
Well, if it looks like a duck, and talks like a duck..
Chances are that Palin will get in a whirlybird and shoot it.
Palin probably thought the "Sitting Duck" award was a good thing...
Dagney Taggart - I have to say, that literally made me LOL. :D
Maybe she wanted to spend more time shooting animals from their helicopter.....
The state will be a lot better off!
Yeah, run for President, Palin....you did so well in your run for "Vice" President....hehehehe!
Here's an add on to the MSNBC story- What's she going to be doing moose hunting til then. Wonder what POTUS and FLOTUS are thinking??
There was no immediate word as to why she will step down before the end of her first term, though some have speculated in the past that she may be interested in running for president in 2012.
This makes no sense for someone who aspires to be president. She's not even finished with her first term as Governor and she's resigning. This will hurt her politically, it shows that she doesn't have the committment to finish even her first term. Not a good move for her. Of course, I am thrilled because I think she's a nutbag...
Ashley
That was so sympathetic towards Sarah and then I got to your last sentence - I have to clean my lap top off now......Be back in a minute......
Uh, no, Sarah. You don't RESIGN as governor and then run for president. It don't work thataway.
Hmm, maybe after all that flying around the nation during the VP tours, it must have occured to her, why am I living in Alaska? So next target is DC or Hollywood?
Sarah Palin- every Democrats dream girl.
Good idea!!! Wipe off your lipstick and go back to the PIG FARM!!!
Maybe her 14 year old is pregnant now?
Maybe Dave was right!!!!
*rimshot*
Thanks. I'll be here for the Holiday weekend. Enjoy the moose.
You shold go into politics. You obviously have no class. I am sure the Democrats will welcome you with open arms.
We can all rest assured that her reason for stepping down will not be because she's putting her family first.
We know we can affect positive change outside government at this point in time on another scale and actually make a difference for our priorities
Maybe she wants to picket planned parenthood locations throughout the country for their anti-abstinence stance.
Oh wow, WOJO, you're such a card. And a homophobe, too.
FYI David Letterman has a child and is married. So, you FAIL.
John Edwards is married, and has a child with his mistress. The way of politics will continue down the same path, same play book, only the players faces have changed, so when it's time for them to step down their faces will be on the new campaign ads.
You got to love the hypocrisy of politics.
Maybe there was a heavy fog and she couldn't see Russia any more.
Sarah who?
Maybe she is pregnant!
Jamey:
Maybe the "butler" did it??????
Before it gets out, me and Sarah have been having an affair. I wanted this to get out before it hit the media. SHE IS MY SOUL MATE!!
Thanks, Mark Sanford!
She is one of the strangest people I have ever seen in public life.
There's something behind this, that's for sure.
Perhaps something the McCain camp found out early on and had resisted making public.
The sound you hear is McCain's bowels moving for the first time in 25 years!
IF you think she is strange then you don't pay much attention to the Democrats on the hill.
You've all been duped by the moonbats at MSNBC who are suffering from chronic PDS (Palin Derangement Syndrome). The governor is not resigning, but rather she is not seeking a second term. Most likely to prepare for a run for the GOP nomination in 2012. If you think Sarah Palin scares the daylights out of the liberals and their lapdog media now, just wait until she makes this announcement. The leftwing loons David Letterman and Keith Olbermann will likely need psychiatric help. LOL!
The only reason they bash her so much is that they are actually scared of her.
NO IDIOT she resigned; she's scary all right; scary like Charlie Manson scary
She did resign, and strangely enough, her voice was shaking during the whole speech. I wonder what is REALLY going on?
Really, then why is she holding a press conference to say that she is resigning. You really don't let facts get in the way of your argument.
JP, you are a moose's behind.
You had better do a little more checking Cobia: She is resigning and will leave in a couple of weeks. How do you not understand that? Are you that brain washed by Rush and Fox?
Dagney
not only was her voice "shaky".....it was beyond irritating.....and if there is anyone who certainly needs a telepromter......
Cobia
you are a piece of work
"she is not resigning - she is just not seeking a second term"....
cool - not resigning would mean you finish out your first term like Gov Pawlenty of Mn who said he is not seeeking another term.....
and quite frankly I hope she starts running for President tomorrow - it only took her two months to alienate the Republican Party in 2008 - just think how much damage she can do in 3-1/2 years.
But let me ask you cobia - how can she run for President if she does not want "media coverage"?
you can't even defend her on whether she resigned or not - just thnk how busy you will be for 3 years being her apologist?
Sarah Palin is not done with politics, she have her website up and running to take donations.
And rumor has it that Michell Obama has her sights on 2016, will start campaigning in 2015, she doesn't want to give up the White House.
Who is Sarah Palin?
You people are sooo funny. No facts all speculation and quesses, thats why you all voted for Obama.
Oh you mean like he's a Muslim who was NOT born in Hawaii? That kind of lack of facts, right Marty? You betc'ha.
What's a quess?
I think people like you are funny cause you keep saying others are scared of Palin. Are you alright? Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds? We are not on the playground ya know.
Thanks for proving my point ferrferr. A guess Dagney, I guess we have to point it out very clearly for you, I'll type s l o w e r so you can keep up.
Maybe if you pulled your head out of your a.. Marty, you could keep up.
Actually marty , I know how to SPELL. There's a handy little feature called SPELL CHECK.You might want to use it, luddite.
Oh, I forgot that it probably doesn't exist on your TRS 80.
Marty
what's the guess? I jsut saw her resign - saying she wouldn't finish her first full term - I don't need to guess on anything......how many times has this happened before?
get together with cobia so you to can start to form the club "Apologists for Palin"....you're gong to be pretty busy......
They Are all sheep that hope that they will never have to earn a living because BO is going to take care of them. They can't stand it when someone that actually works hard and has ideas they aren't familiar with. Like working, paying their bills, being tolerant for anyone other than their clones.............
mewp
republican 101 - if you can't defend the topic - delfect/detract"
you get an A+ from the RNC home office
What point did I prove? That "you all" are hypocrites?
Dagney, I think a quess is like a queef, only in the cold weather up there it comes out sounding different.
If anyone was not persuaded that this woman is seriously mentally ill, please watch the entire news conference and listen to her narcissistic babble.
Point guard? more like a wing nut
The thing that got me was the fact that her voice was so audibly shaking. She was HIGHLY upset about something.
Maybe the vibrator in her butt plug came on unexpectedly.
She wants more time to focus on the reality show she is developing called "pallin' around with the palins"
I am so hoping that she will be one of the "new faces" of the republican party and that she immediately starts talking - a lot! ! ! ! ! !
I think she just destroyed her chances for a 2012 run. Republicans don't particularly care for quitters. I thought originally McCain made a wise move by choosing her as his VP. But as time went on, more and more I believe he made a huge mistake. There are far to many women in the republican party who are talented, smart, savvy and most of all, not quitters. Again, if she wasn't destroying her chances in the last few months, she certainly put the nail in the coffin today.
clb-462357: Have you ever played chess or Basketball? Or studied any "Sun Tzu", even American Indians knew NOT to always be obvious by attacking straight on! You are talking about an Ex-Jock that knows how to win at any cost. If she must flank opponents, she will!
THE FYTHELER: The more credit she is given the more it sends a message that voters are idiots...she could win Alaska and a hand full of southern states and that's all.
SHE CUT & RUN and there's no other way to spin that....Did Bush step down when he was a lame duck? Did Clinton? Americans aren't fond of quitters, cowards maybe...but not quitters.
I too Katherine, She will make those Democrats that are spending our kids future away look like imbeciles.
Good Job.
Imagine that, Palin making something look lime an imbecile.
Wow, David, thanks for joining the Go Palin group. The more the merrier. A river always starts somewhere with only one drop of water.
Bill
Perception continues to be a challenge for Palin and company.
Bill Wells, the Massachusetts rich boy Republican governor did the same thing - got bored with the job and basically said, "I can't be bothered finishing the job I took an oath for - tough luck, kiddies, I'm outta here..." and wandered off. No scandal, no nothing - just got bored with the whole thing.
If she is actually quitting and not just not running for a 2nd term, she can kiss her political career goodbye. But then, maybe she's been given an offer she can't refuse to have her own talk show on Fox or somewhere equally friendly to her ilk.

FWIW so did Romney (his 2nd, Healy, had to take the reins and finish the job).
*points finger*
"Ha ha!"
