Say Good Night, Sarah!
Edited on Sun Jul-26-09 11:52 AM by Stephanie




http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090726/ap_on_re_us/us_palin_resignation_4

Palin's resignation day arrives, future unclear

==snip==

A few things are known: She is scheduled to speak Aug. 8 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, and has said she plans to write a book, campaign for political candidates from coast to coast and build a right-of-center coalition.

She also plans to continue speaking her mind on the social networking site Twitter.

"Wrapped up Anch Gov's Picnic, awesome," she wrote in a message posted Saturday. "Now road trip to Fairbanks for farewell speech/changing of the guard. Camper full of kids & coffee."

1. *sigh*
I used to think McCain's worst transgression was sniffing bush ass for eight years - well, I was wrong.

3. I'll have more photos
from the Screendoor Party/Farewell Tour/"Governor's Picnic" later today. It was surely an "eclectic" crowd there to see the Queen for the last official time.

I sympathize. I just cancelled it out for you. :)

12. There are people who unrec every thread. FWIW
I don't worry about it.

IMO there are people who overuse the rec function as well.

Which is why the greatest page is not as useful as it might be . . . in a perfect universe . . . where everyone was exactly like me. . . .

:sarcasm:

I would start with the Palin threads.

Of course, here I am kicking this one.

20. Did she break out the Mega-Bumpit for her final day??
Seems like she was building to a "big" finish.


It still baffles me off that this riduculous human being commands so much slavish devotion. :crazy:

24. Oh, and they WERE out in force, believe me
although I'm happy to report that I met up with several infiltrators, including Shannyn Moore, who, according to a news report this morning, had received an e-mail advising her that if she planned to show up, she'd better be wearing a bullet-proof vest. That woman has ovaries of steel.

Also, there was a large contingent of folks who were merely happy to have a free meal and were willing to stand in line for two hours to get it. We have a lot of street people here, and it seemed that many of them were at the picnic. I was there from about 12:15 until 2:30 and the two food lines were still very long. This was the most "serving Alaskans" that Sarah's done in the past two years. :rofl:

27. Shanny is one brave soul, that's for sure.
Nice to know XINO did one decent thing for the less-fortunate of Alaska, even if it was accidental.

I "also too" like the mental picture of rabid Sarah fans forced to stand in line with people whom they undoubtedly look down upon just to get their free (SOCIALIST!!) weiners.

"This was the most "serving Alaskans" that Sarah's done in the past two years." Both hilarious and NO doubt, very true! I have appreciated your threads on this, they have been very informative as well as humorous.

28. Maybe THAT'S been her plan all along.
She's leaving to be the celebrity spokesmodel for Bumpits on QVC!!!

Although, Sarah being Sarah, there's just as good a chance that she uses the bones of helicopter-slaughtered wolves to pump up her 'do, you betcha.

But doesn't Alaska have a short window of time as per outdoor construction?
Man he must be superman or something.

14. She really is crazy.
FILE - In this July 22, 2009 file photo, people walk in front of the Alaska Governor's Mansion with a moving van parked outside,
in Juneau, Alaska Wednesday as Gov. Sarah Palin, who's final day in office is July 26, moves out. Palin says she is quitting Sunday
to save the state the cost of investigating what she says are frivolous ethics complaints against her, but even her mid-term
resignation comes with a price tag for taxpayers.

13. Why did she take off her gloves in the second photo where she is serving a wiener?
I think we should file a food safety complaint!
Keep her lah-yars busy.

21. That was taken after the food fight when they ran out of hamburgers
She's now serving hot dog buns. She also had to change outfits and put up her hair. Must have been a super food fight.

Running out of hamburgers could be seen as either false advertising or discrimination.

15. Right of Center?
I guess it's not technically a BS line, they don't mention how far right but I think if you need the damned Hubble space telescope to see the center you should call your coalition a little closer to the nutbag right.

19. I'm sure she is opening a new Twitter account
and she has promised that she will no longer be as "politically correct" as she's been in the past. It should be a real laugh fest in the coming weeks. The Alaska progressive bloggers have been following her Tweets so I'm sure they'll keep us advised. :rofl:

29. They keep making a big deal out of how she has no plans.
(Palin spokeswoman Meghan) Stapleton disputed the notion that Palin is running for president or has media deals lined up.

"I cannot express enough there is no plan after July 26. There is absolutely no plan," she told The Associated Press. "The decision (to quit) was made in the vacuum of what was best for Alaska, and now I'm accepting all the options, but there is nothing planned."

If there is nothing whatsoever planned, why in blazes did she suddenly quit? She quit to do "nothing"? This woman is truly baffling.
