Freep: "She didn't quit like a kid walking out of MacDonalds, she resigned with dignity as Governor"

Stop Saying Sarah Quit - She Resigned ... (vanity)

This really ticks me off, when can you ever remember a politician "quitting", no they "Resign" but not Sarah, the Media says "She Quit". Not even disgraced politicians quit, they resign, and Sarah is certainly not disgraced, but yet, news story after news story says she Quit. Language matters, and I hear it here on the FR as well, she didn't quit like a kid walking out of MacDonalds, she resigned with dignity as the Governer of Alaska.

1. Kids working at McDonalds would have trouble calling a press conference. Otherwise, same.

[Cerridwen]

2. They're gonna have to start digging a hole if they lower that bar

any lower.

[Mrs. Overall]

3. Hell yeah. She resigned like Nixon, Craig, Foley, etc... with dignity.

I'm sure there's lots of other republicans who "resigned with dignity," too.

4. It took conservatives a few days to start rationalizing

but boy they're spinning like crazy now.

10. Ever the apple polishers (required given the penchant for malfeasance)

[Old and In the Way]

14. They're pro's on the subject of rationalizing.

They've had decades of experience in making excuses and spinning justifications for their
Party. Jim Jones' followers had nothing on these rubes.

5. No, she liberated herself from filthy politics.

She elevated her derriere from the stinky seat of power.

[Reverend_Smitty]

6. yeah no media outlet has ever used the term quits...

Yep, they are just out to get Palin...

[Mz Pip]

7. That babbling, shrill

incoherant announcement was "with dignity?"

Could have fooled me. It is amazing how those who love Palin can come up with such twisted logic to explain her bizarre behavior.

A kid walking out of MacDonald's usually waits until he's got his Happy Meal and the parents have paid the bill. This was more like a kid not liking the fries and throwing them all over the floor - and then walking out.

8. Cut & run. That describes it.

[Ilsa]

13. ITA! That's the terminology we should be using for her! nt

[democrat_patriot]

9. Freeper even spelled McDonald's wrong.

When do we pass a law that forbids freepers from leaving their basements?

[seabeyond]

11. lower expectation out of an adult, governor than a kid at mcdonalds

that is just sad

[sutz12]

12. Dignity? How about a 21 LOL salute to her dignity

15. Freepistanis are showing their usual grip on reality.

I hope for their sake that Palin gets the GOP presidential nomination in 2012. They need a crushing Palin defeat to get over this fantasy of theirs that what the Republican party needs to do to win is nominate a gen-you-wine down-home just-plain-folks American.
