I predict she's going to make a lot of money as the ex-Governor of Alaska. AND she will never be elected to any elected office.
Is Palin's resignation any different than any other resignation?

Funny how the left find joy and happiness in one politician's resignation, but can't find it within themselves to view it the same as any other. It's really pretty sad, considering resignations are nothing new in politics.

I highly doubt McGreevey's resignation proffered as much joy. What a hoax the liberal left has become.

Unfortunately, my celebration will be somewhat tempered by this:

Alaska Lt. Gov. Parnell says he'll keep Palin's team - Juneau Empire

Though the Captain may be going ashore, the ship of fools will continue on full-steam-ahead.

Got our limit of Reds on the Kenai last week. My smoker will be busy for the foreseeable future as well!

McGeevey resigned after 'coming out' and having an affair. Are you comparing Palin's quitting so she can score big bucks without dealing with the ethics of the Governor's office with his?

Hmmm, you may be right. They are both resignations made for lack of morals and ethics. AND, I am not referring to McGeevey's 'coming out'. It's the affair.

When the Pitbull's out of the picture and no longer in a position of power, hopefully, he'll fill the positions with people who have the education and duties of said positions. If those she appointed have them and they function within the job description of said position, they should stay.

I think the amount of emotion some people have in regards to politicians is quite funny.

Moose, I'd say we give Parnell a chance.

Souxcia, I found a printout of this tacked to our plant's bulletin board this morning; the touristas are finding it amusing:


Sarah Palien?*|*Weekly World News


Following Sarah Palin’s emergence on the national stage, the blogosphere lit up with reports that Governor Palin does not actually hail from Wasilla, Alaska but from a planet known as Wazeela.

The tiny planet, which is located some 37,000 miles due east from the Sun, is known to be rich with fossil fuels that lie beneath snow-capped peaks.

Internet reports also cited the particularly short 5-month gestation period of Wazeela females as proof that Palin was, in fact, a Palien.

I didnt know that.
You obviously also did not know that Governors are the Chief Executive of the State Executive Branch. They are not legislators and do not introduce legislation. Just a little something you would have learned had you taken a PoliSci course.

Last time I checked, every ethics complaint drawn against Gov. Palin was dismissed as a frivolous waste of the state's time and money, with only one exception and she was completely exonerated. But I will give you half a point for being consistent in your lies, but lies they remain as usual.
