Palin resigning July 26

[klonk]

What I find interesting is how much energy the Birkenstock and Volvo crowd spends hatin' on this lady. I have my own ideas what that is about, but what say you all?

What's it about? Goofing on a goof. A very easy thing to do. You're a superstar for some by being a stunt but when you keep pulling stunts, you're just a goof.

i'm afraid of americans.

darth'n'roll: you the man.

On one hand, that we elected W twice (supposedly) makes me think we Americans or at least our stupid media are pretty much stupid enough to give Palin an extension on her 15 minutes (since Paris Hilton created the famous-for-being-famous effect) but on the other hand, Alaskans have pretty much driven her out of office using Freedom of Information Act requests - sort of like Denial of Service attacks on webservers - (the real reason Palin resigned is likely not due to presidential ambitions but due to fairly mundane financial/logistical reasons: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1247002 ... lenews_wsj )

Goofing on a goof. An American past time.

Plain and simple bro, she's doesn't know jack about the world.

Anyone with an education can see that.

But I suppose it's more fun to turn it into some conspiracy people can talk about on AM radio.

Doesn't matter anyway she tapped out! I imagine she would have done the same in Washington.

For me personally I don't like her because she makes me ashamed to be an American. I've represented my country around the world and I'd hate to have to explain how she got into office when she probably couldn't even find the UK on a map.

I hear it's coming out now that she quit because the freedom of information act has basically paralyzed her office from doing anything at all legislatively and instead they have to spend all their time dolling out records that are on stringent deadlines for receipt lest the foia rules be diminished.

she really couldn't actually do her job anymore.

anyway, it will likely later come out what a corrupt person she was....on top of all the other corruption stuff she is faced with. lol

ultimately, who cares? It's Palin. So what.
