THANK YOU DAVID LETTERMAN!!!

It was God's will...musta been!

:toast:

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) -- No legal "bombshell" or personal scandal lies behind Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's resignation, but off-color jokes by talk-show host David Letterman contributed to her decision to step down, Palin's attorney said Monday.

Look at all the gullible Shittoheads she'll be fleecing.

A fool and his money are soon parted.




Ed: This was supposed to be a reply to #1.

justify using their 14 year old daughter to score points in the public eye



Don't believe it. just don't

5. Behold the power of the late night comedic TV talk show host!
Never underestimate the power of the Letterman. He has the power to bring down whole governmental administrations! He has the power to solve global warming! Oh wait, maybe not the global warming... but still.

If the soon-to-be former governor of the state of Alaska is stepping down because of remarks Mr. Letterman made on his TV show, then I have the perfect job for her, and it isn't in politics.

7. Is Letterman's attorney going to sue Palin for calling him a child molester?
Just wondering if a defamation lawsuit/slander is applicable.
Palin needs to be careful when opening such a can of worms. (& her own mouth)

8. She cut and ran because of a late-night talk show host's
joke? And there are still people who think she can be president!!

She's a quitter, which is fine if she couldn't handle the job, in fact it's the best thing to do. She criticized Hillary Clinton for 'whining' about some of the coverage she received. Hillary may have complained, but she didn't quit.

I don't think the Repubs can use the 'cut and run' talking point against Democrats anymore. Although we can never underestimate the stupidity of a party who chose this woman as their VP in the first place.

The lawyer did not say, nor did the FBI, that Todd was not under investigation. And, there were those emails showing that she tried to get the McCain campaign to lie about her husband's membership in the AIP. It's possible there are lots more embarrassing emails out there.

It's hard to believe that any elected official would step down so suddenly simply because they are getting some bad press. Most, even after far more embarrassing revelations fight to hold on to their positions. But if that really is the reason, how did she fool Alaskans into electing her in the first place?

12. So if Sarah Palin was President
Kim Jong Il could scrap his nuke program and just hire a couple of joke writers?

9. She and her lawyer are full of shit. If every politician upped and quit
every time they were made fun of, there would be no one left in politics.

She's a quitter no matter what lying reason(s) she gave for aborting her position as governor.

11. I'm thinking she quit because Tawd asked her to. These ethics
complaints that they've had to pay off are sinking their bank account. Tawd is the head of the household and she must obey. Isn't that they way it works?
