The Whackjob of Wasilla Withdraws

Sarah Palin resigned as governor of Alaska, 2-1/2 years into a 4-year term. The resignation is effective as of July 26th.

So she cannot handle the political pressures of being the governor of one of the more unpopulated pissant states and she wants to be the president? Even George W. Bush did a full term and won re-election as governor two years before he was installed as president.

There has to be something more to this. One does not get elected to senior elective office and then quit in the middle of the term without a good damn reason, whether it is health-related or to try to avoid serious legal problems.

And just what is with her referring to herself in the first-person plural? "We know we can effect positive change outside government," Palin said at one point in the festival of random association that passed as a press conference.

"Weird" doesn't begin to describe Palin. This press announcement, timed for a Friday afternoon of a holiday weekend, has all of the hallmarks of the "I was brainwashed" comment of George Romney.

ADDED: The Song of Palin:
Brave Sarah Palin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
She bravely turned her tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sarah Palin turned about
And gallantly she chickened out.
Bravely taking to her feet
She beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sarah Palin!

She is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely she is throwing in the sponge...

  3. What ever the reason when it becomes known it could possibly be the height of nutter insanity.

    She's a dandy isn't she? And nothing she says ever makes logical sense does it?
