I listened like most and didn't understand that rambling, incoherent scratch and sniff piece of madness.

I, too, am waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Regardless of what is to come, if she doesn't end up in prison, Palin has a great future as a speaker for the extreme right. I predict she will make a 6 figure yearly salary talking about what she has done with her life (the lies carefully concealed with a smattering of the truth), abstinence, 'real Americans', and hate for everything else.

Lol. Either she cut and run as she said she was doing, or she fully intends to come back when she feels better, and thus was lying with each one of the weird excuses she gave for stepping down. Neither of these is the mark of a fighter. A fireball, okay. Kaboom, fizz.

Agree that we havent seen the last of her, though. ("No, but the first of you turns my stomach!")

If I were a Democrat I would be glad if Palin quits. She spells the death of Barack Obama's second term as president.

You mean like Obama did for the left?

Listen to her resignation speech -- it is crystal clear -- she is apalled by what is happening to our country under the current administration. She feels time is of the essence. Life is short. She doesn't want to waste the last months of her governorship as a lame-duck. Instead, she is going to give it her all to help elect candidates that will overturn the liberal agenda and fight for our country. This is a no-brainer. She is not a wuus. She's no coward, and she's deeply concerned about what has happened to our country: a recession with no end in site, Deep deficits, real threats of hyperinflation, no action on the major crackdown in Iran, support for Chavez, Castro and a budding left-wing dictator in Honduras, no action on the crazies in Korea, the nationalization of banks, our auto industry, no action on abortion, etc., etc.

Wow, you speak Palinese.
Those of us who speak English didn't get the same message.

She's a quitter; her political career is toast.

You can't deny he came out of the woodwork and got where he is from connections...he isn't better than other local reporters.
