Rumors are flying like spit balls in a third grade classroom. What, exactly, is behind Sarah Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska? The announcement came on July 3 and was as clear and understandable as anything coming from Palin.
I would like to offer a quote from Stephen Markley’s blog site “Off The Markley” which describes Palin’s babbling to a tee. Markley attributes the actual quote to the movie Billy Madison with a slight departure from the original.
”Governor Palin, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul”. That pretty much covers anything she has said in the past and will say in the future.
From what I did understand of her resignation press conference, her reasons for resigning were because of negative media coverage and the rising cost, for her and for the state, of having to fight ethics charges. There is also speculation that she is clearing the road to run for president in 2012 (cringe!). She has even alluded to the idea that she can affect positive change outside the government, which, i believe, would be better than inside the government where she might have some influence.
She was asked in an ABC interview if she thought there would be the same problems involving the ethics investigation if she were to run for president, and her answer was, “I don’t think it will be the day after day after day of ethics violation charges that are frivolous, that are ridiculous. I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at this, the things we have been charged with, and automatically throw them out, not make somebody hire their own personal attorney to get out there and fight”. Stupidity, naiveté, media windfall, all in one sentence.
Levi Johnston, former fiancé of Bristol Palin and father of their child and Sarah Palin’s grandson, Tripp, says he knows the reason for the resignation. He claims to have heard the governor saying it would be nice to take advantage of the “lucrative deals” that were being offered. According to Johnston, Palin seemed very interested in a reality show (kidding, right?) and a book deal (again with the kidding).
Whatever Palin does we will surely be treated to more idiocy. She’s beginning to rival W in the Dumb-Things-Said arena. Who do you think is more deserving of that honor?
