Now shes going to get RICH !!!

What a rambling bunch of nonsense.

I personally believe this is why U.S. Alaskans need maps so we can help the economy and the drill baby drill, such as the Trig, everywhere such as. I believe our economy should help the U.S., or the Kosovo and the overseas countries, so we can help build up our future for more Trigs.

She's dumb enough to think she still has a shot at the White House. She should get with George Bush and go on a brush-clearing tour. Of course Bush spent so much time on brush-clearing vacations that there's no brush left west of the Mississippi. He got my yard last summer.

Here's hoping she DOES make a run at the 2012 Presidential nomination for the GOP. If she is succesfully nominated it will bury the Republicans deeper into their own morass.

Ugh.

...bluh? is she resigning or just spewing platitudes?

Good. Fuck off, stupid.

I just want to know one thing: does she have nobody with a brain on her team, or does she just refuse to listen to them? Who lets her read/write these speeches?

Honestly, my bipolar wife is more coherent in her most manic moments...Palin's just scary. Almost as scary as the idiots who would still vote for her.

You ever have this happen to you? Someone is talking, won't shut up, has absolutely nothing interesting to say or add, and you begin to focus solely on the sound of their inhalation?

blah blah blah (inhales) blah blah blah blah blah (inhales) blah blah (inhales) blah blah blah (inhales) blah (inhales) blah blah blah blah blah (inhales) blah (inhales) blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah (inhales)....

It's beginning. The cleansing.

The bell tolls for thee, Rush Limbaugh.

Did that stupid cunt really just say working outside the government was the way to effect positive change?

You would have to be some sort of.. i dunno.. .Community Organizer... to do that sort of herculean, noble task.

Wow.

Yeah, apparently Palin's $7 Million book-deal would be considered a "Conflict of Interest" if she were to remain seated as governor.

It is a happy day.

She must be giving up some good stuff for Todd to put up with all this humiliating publicity. He's always standing at the side looking like a chump.

If the speech had ended at 2:03, it would have been fine, IMO.

Just looking at the profile of the family at 3:54, these are the Bizarro-Kennedy's.

Trancecoach is right on the money.

Anymore I believe it doesn't matter if her or Obama was sitting in the oval office. She actually might be less destructive than having a hooked-up lawyer in there.

^I don't think so. We've already had one dunce president in the chair, and Palin makes Bush look like a Rhodes scholar.

I shudder at the thought.

Gawd, she sounds like she's in an emotional fit with all the gasping for air.

Oh don't you all know that this is all the fault of that god damned liberal media!

If they'd just left her alone and not dug up all her glaring flaws, hypocritical bullshit, and complete ineptitude, none of this would be happening.

And if that child rapist David Letterman had just kept his mouth shut she wouldn't be having to do this.

Where's Chris Crocker to cry "LEAVE SARAH ALONE!!!"

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Sigh, I wish her and her wretched brood would just disappear already.

(I must admit that I'm only commenting because it gives me an excuse to use one of my favorite phrases... wretched brood... just rolls off the tongue)

Yeah, you almost forgot to insert "prayer" into "prayer and consideration." Don't do that again or your god my strike you down.

LOL! I just noticed this ad at the top of this page: "Support Sarah PAC, DONATE!"

Ad space for the Palin, eh VideoSift? I'm disappointed.

From that site: "In August 2008, Senator John McCain tapped Governor Palin to serve as his vice presidential running mate in his Presidential campaign." Yeah, I bet he did tap that.

First she talks about the player keeping her eyes on the basket, and then she stresses the importance of keeping your eyes on the ball? WTF?

10th grade speech class: F

I'm assuming the affecting change from outside the government that she keeps yammering on about is the Alaskan Secessionist movement that her husband has ties with.

^ That and BP.

Her whole speech was one long sentence...

^You betcha! Not politics as usual!

When she says "smaller government" it disgusts me, because, well, how do I put this?... well... she's a fucking liar. I'd still do her if I had to... yeah... only if I had to. Like if I had to in the way that she kind of asked me... yeah, I would. I'd still hate her.

Maybe there is something with female conservatives communicating though sports...when I was in high school some of my class mates and I went to the capital of Montana to meet the governor at the time (Judy Martz). When someone asked her about someday having a state sales tax the conversation eventually just turned to her being an Olympic Skater…Maybe it’s how they are wired…

From the Alaskan Gov's website:

Selected Accomplishments of the Palin Administration

General

Transferred more control of public issues to the local level Natural Resources
Created the Petroleum Systems Integrity Office to oversee responsible development
Held the line for Alaskans on Point Thomson that encouraged drilling
Restructured the state’s oil taxes to create a clear and equitable valuation formula for our oil and gas
Initiated and implemented the largest energy project in the world through the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act
Removed government from the dairy business and put it back into private-sector hands

Ethics

Ushered in ethics reform
Cleaned up previously accepted unethical actions affecting development

Fiscal Notes

Slowed the rate of government growth
Worked with the Legislature to place billions of dollars in savings
Vetoed hundreds of millions of dollars in capital budget line items
Reduced Alaska’s dependence on federal earmarks by nearly 85%
Eliminated state-funded personal luxuries like the jet, the chef, and junkets
Refused a pay raise, along with the Lieutenant Governor

Education

Provided unprecedented support for education initiatives Public Safety
Filled long-vacant public safety positions over the last year

Corrections

Broke ground on the new state prison

Fish and Game

Maintained biologically-sound wildlife management for abundance Environment
Established first sub-Cabinet on climate change

Legal

State’s rights protected in two recent victories handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court

Just one more i had to share from the NY Daily News comments page:

There once was a girl named Palin
Whose novelty quickly was failin’
So like Nixon (the sh*t)
She decided to quit
Now watch for the Playboy unveilin’!

I hate her more than most people on this Earth. All women should be pissed at her for making us all look like morons.

If she were to run, and by some bad thing win...I'd have to move to another country.
I live in Texas. They are already pushing the Palin 2012 stickers... I'd rather eat my own face off.

I bet that she has a talk-show within the year.

The way I see it, there are four possibilities:

1. She's quitting so she can do things that would be illegal/unethical if she remained Governor to raise money and campaign for 2012
   
2. She's quitting because she's about to get hit with another big scandal
   
3. She's deciding that she's tired of exposing her family to media scrutiny to satisfy her misguided ambition
   
4. She just can't take the heat anymore
   

She just keeps going and going...

Of course, she might also be preemptively trying to avert a major, yet-to-be-disclosed corruption scandal.

Can you imagine the offspring of her and George W.?

Translated for your pleasure.

General

Moved pork barrel spending from one industry to another.

Ethics

Talked big talk about ethics but appointed unqualified cronies to high office and got her sister's ex fired from a gov job for personal reasons.

Fiscal Notes

Eviscerated all social services.

Education

Talked big talk with nothing tangible to show for it such as improved test scores. Also, what the fuck would someone who thinks the world was created in 6 days 6000 years ago know about education?

Corrections

Did nothing but partake in a perfunctory kind of ceremony that every mayor or governor is likely to take part in.

Fish and Game

Drill baby drill!

I wish. I had a tree fall in my yard a few days ago. It was an old money tree that literally EXPLODED into millions of tiny branches and scattered itself over my yard like a fractal that divided by zero.

Honestly, the biggest *wtf I've ever experienced. My brain is completely fried. I have nothing more to add to this.

Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by Fjnbk.

So her move to ensure an end to politics as usual is to leave politics? Nice.

Aww, I think she wrote the speech herself. How cute!

Its like listening to the Mainframe Cylon from BSG, like a stream of consciousness blabbering out cheap political catchphrases and failed metaphors. Amazing.

She's the living triumph of form over substance.

Her message was clear: "I care about Alaska so I am going to do it a favour and quit."

>> ^NetRunner:

She's quitting because she's about to get hit with another big scandal

DING!
Local speculation is that some bombshell is about to drop, or would if she didn't resign.

as RedSky pointed out, unless she just ran a marathon, she's very tense, terse and having great difficulty with breath control.

Someting's up.

While it pained me to listen to the whole thing...

I count 58 Meaningless cliche phrases.

The woman is a walking political sentence generator.

I also love the irony of saying

I'm stepping down because i hate money being wasted in politics. Its better for Alaska if I'm not your leader any more.

>> ^budzos:
Good. Fuck off, stupid.


I think I said that out loud while watching the video.

Scary.

>> ^ponceleon:

^ ^ ^THIS. I shudder at the thought, but I guarantee FOX already has it figured out.

3.She's deciding that she's tired of exposing her family to media

I suspect it is this as much as anything else. If the standard media treatment is any yardstick, then any future political activity of any kind from Palin would be met with incredible hostility along with nasty attacks on her family. She may simply have decided that she'd be better off behind the scenes where her family isn't so open to calumny. The foaming-at-the-mouth left-wing reaction whenever you mention her name is a fine example of the pied-piper mentality the media has drummed into the mush that neolibs call grey matter.

Her speech was rambled a lot and didn't make a lot of sense. The impression I got was that she was flying off the cuff rather than making any sort of prepared statement.

Holy shit that was barely comprehensible. I think I lost IQ points just listening to that.

Oh man, I'm sure gonna miss "Todd".

Almost a year later and you libs are all still scared shitless of Palin. You should be, she gots the same charisma as the commie thug now stinking up the White House, only she isn't one.

She embarrasses my gender every time she speaks... Why can't reasonably minded conservatives leave the Republican party to folks like her and the other Fundies, and move over to the Libertarians?
