I must have missed the part where it said Huckabee was found guilty of anything.

I was just at the Palin website. She resigned the governorship of AK, but she is definitely not quitting. Now she is free to make BO a one-termer without distraction.

So are several millions delusional fundie wingnuts who think she is the cats meow and will send her money. There were two ads for the Sarah PAC on one newspaper site I visited today, seeking money. All money spent on Sarah is money down the drain that real GOP candidates won't be getting, further hindering the GOP from trying to resurrect itself from near-total destruction at the hands of Rove and the idiot Bush whose reign of terror/error is finally over.

Can and should are two different things. If Palin is as incompetent as those of you on the left contend, AK would be better off without her. So what's the complaint?

The real problem for the lib-tards out there is that she is not sitting back defending one false accusation after another. That would be a wonderful convenience for them at a time when the Republican party lacks a voice. But she just isn't doing her part, is she? No, she's stepping up to be that conservative alternative at a time when support for BO's policies is waining.

Exactly right. She is now unfettered by the restrictions of a governorship.

It's the mavericky way!

Where did I say he was guilty of anything. I said he was on the list. Nice overreaction as usual. And he also wasn't the only one on that list not found guilty of anything. Get it now?

Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin. She's a quitter and a whiner. And I hope that she does get the Republican nomination. It will be smooth sailing for Obama. Lots of Republicans don't like Palin, and quitting the governorship and the people who elected her just made it worse.

When the going gets tough, Sarah Palin quits! What a loser.

She blames the meeeeeeedia, bloggers, the McCain campaign, sexism, regionalism, elitism, the RNC and on and on and on for her failures. She wallows in the gutter in trashy, childish, embarrassing feuds and generally just proved she was not presidential material from the moment she was rolled out by the McCain campaign...

Let's face it -- the woman is not bright and is certainly incapable of honest self-reflection. And now she's a quitter, too!

PostPartisan - With Palin, Keep Your Eye on That Audible

"If there was one thing you could always give Palin credit for, it was her knowledge of and passion for sports. That’s why it’s worth paying attention to her badly fractured and impossibly mixed sports metaphors. When her sports references went astray, you really knew something was wrong.

Consider this passage:

A good point guard drives through a full court press, protecting the ball, keeping her eye on the basket... and she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can WIN. And I'm doing that -- keeping our eye on the ball that represents sound priorities -- smaller government, energy independence, national security, freedom! And I know when it's time to pass the ball -- for victory.

Now wait a minute: First, she tells us that a good point guard keeps her eye on the basket -- and one sentence later, she’s telling us it’s the ball she’s watching. Maybe that passage explains her difficulties perfectly.

And she wasn’t done with the sports metaphors. There was also this:

We need those who will respect our Constitution where government's supposed to serve from the bottom up, not move toward this top down big government take-over... but rather, will be protectors of individual rights -- who also have enough common sense to acknowledge when conditions have drastically changed and are willing to call an audible and pass the ball when it's time so the team can win! And that is what I'm doing!

I’m not sure how to parse that mouthful, but we have clearly moved out of the world of basketball and into football. I keep re-reading those words and have to conclude that Palin called an audible here that no one can understand."

Its like one big hippie drum circle in here. Pass the J hippies.

Funny, though. She's much more accomplished than any of the pathetic losers in here bashing her. That must make you all feel really awesome that someone so "stupid" and "delusional" is that much better than you.
