Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm betting scandal of some sort about to break. Announcing the resignation right before the holiday weekend so the news will get buried. Not sure what the scandal could be, though -- I mean, there was tons of stuff that came up during the campaign that didn't seem to faze her.
Yeah, I'm trying to imagine what would be enough that she wouldn't just try to muscle through it.
Maybe she just needs to devote more time to her 2012 campaign.
Maybe she just needs to devote more time to her 2012 campaign.
This is what Politico is suggesting.
Somehow, I doubt that Sarah Palin will quietly go away.
A really good scandal would be fun. Her affair with McCain. Her long term sexual relationship with Sally exposed. She gave Michael Jackson the fatal injection. Not to focus on 2012. I'm not ready for that.
Oooh... How about she's one of the women with whom Sanford "crossed the line" and there are steamy emails floating around?
Palin is about to be revealed as the second killer on "Harper's Island." She's been hiking the Appalachian Trail (that's what the kids are calling it) with John Wakefield for years ....
Or Trig really IS Bristols. That would just be fun.
This is what Politico is suggesting.
I don't really find that convincing. It's way too soon to resign to do that and not have some taint of "quitter" about it. For whatever else she is, I think Palin is pretty in tune with the wingnut base and I can't see that going over too well. And honestly, her job is just not that taxing that she would need to do that at this stage.
Hee! to Michael Jackson. Ewww to Sanford.
(Though I do think that infidelity - on her part, not Todd's - is probably one of the few things with the potential to really tarnish her to her base.)
Faux News, not unsurprisingly, is erring on the side of quitting to focus on a run.
But I have to agree that the taint of "quit" would be hard to overcome, especially since she's a woman. Too many of the misogynists will hold that against her.
Speaking of Todd, he's quoted in the Faux News article:
Todd Palin told FOX News that his wife will concentrate on "doing the things for Alaska and the country" that she is passionate about and can not do as governor with the limitation and constant opposition she deals with within the state.
