Sarah Palin Resigns as Governor of Alaska before finishing Term
2
I'm happy for her, she's almost off the bullseye of hatred of nearly every left-leaning person in the civilized world. If there is any fairness, her last name will become a verb in the American lexicon, much the way Robert Bork's became one. It is not disappointing to me, only revealing of the hatred and condescension of which the ideologically driven press/media has become capable. While Obama whines incessantly and futilly moans for bi-partisanship and civility, the lefties infer she doesn't possess the toughness for high office.
What's funniest is the idea that Sarah Palin is a political laughingstock and Joe Biden has the serious job of Vice-President of the United States because it was so important to keep embarrassing gaffe machines out of any position of importance, lest their "inexperience" become apparent.
She's earned the right to cash in on the book and lecture circuit, which she will undoubtedly do, giving her tormentors ample opportunity to continue sniping and griping about her. And, heaven knows, they'll seldom miss an opportunity to fire their cheap shots and pile on every chance they get. Tell me again how she deserves it . . . she joins a long line of republican laughingstocks, successfully (and unfairly) characterized as such by the American press: Spiro Agnew, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Dan Quayle, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney. Anyone else notice a pattern?
