Y'all are blatantly disregarding the rules. But that's okay.
Gotcha covered.

Sarah Palin has deeply disappointed her enemies. People who hate her guts feel she's really let them down by resigning.
She's like the ex-girlfriend they're SO over, never want to see again, have already forgotten about - really, it's O-ver - but they just can't stop talking about her.
Liberal: Ha, ha ... Sarah who? She's over, she's toast, a future Trivial Pursuit answer, nothing more.
Normal person: Whatever. How about the North Korean missiles?
Liberal: Can you believe she just resigned the governorship like that? What a quitter!
Normal person: Speaking of quitting, how's work?
Liberal: Did you hear she might get a TV show? There's no way Sarah Palin's getting a TV show! No way! I can't believe stupid Sarah Palin could get her own stupid TV show now. Well, I'm sure not gonna watch it - that's for sure!
Normal person: Have you seen all the Michael Jackson coverage on TV?
Liberal: How does she think she can run for president in 2012 if she can't finish her term as governor of a Podunk state? She's finished.
Normal person: OK, then! You won't have to vote for her.
Liberal: I was never going to vote for her! But now I'm not going to vote for her twice. And I will never watch her TV show. I am so over her.
Reporters had already written their stories on Palin's news conference - "rambling!" "incoherent!" - before she even stepped to the podium.
Whatever you think of Palin, her argument for resigning was the opposite of "rambling" and "incoherent."
Palin's basketball analogy couldn't have been clearer, even to prissy liberal pundits who get uncomfortable when the subject turns to sports: She decided to destroy the other team's game plan, which has been to obsessively focus on her, by resigning.
This is particularly apt here - she's passing the ball to a fantastic right-wing lieutenant governor, who shares her principles but doesn't set off the left's neuroses.
This is better for him, better for the state, better for the conservative program and better for Palin personally, whose family is sick of all the crap. Now she can make a lot of money and promote conservatism on a national stage.
It certainly won't be held against Palin by people who don't already loathe her. (On the other hand, her approval ratings among people who think she's worse than Hitler are down to 48 percent.)
With the left frenetically filing ethics complaint after ethics complaint against Palin, costing her state millions of dollars and her personally half a million dollars, citizens of Alaska must be asking, "Can we please have our state back?"
But to read the news reports - which actually were rambling and incoherent - you would think Palin was speaking in tongues.
The truth is liberals are furious they won't have Sarah Palin to kick around anymore - at least not with Palin's hands tied behind her back by her public office.
Something tells me Keith Olbermann isn't going to be pulling any big numbers this summer attacking Eric Cantor and Michele Bachmann. I don't anticipate any sudden outbreaks of "Mitch McConnell Derangement Syndrome."
Soon we'll only hear about Keith when his creepy e-mails using his mother's death to hit on chicks start making the rounds again. (Tip to Keith: When a girl refuses to give you her phone number, her assistant's phone number or her personal e-mail address, and only gives you her assistant's e-mail address, you're not halfway in the sack.)
Bonus: If Olbermann gets canceled as a result of Palin's resignation, that will put her in a really good position for 2012.
But instead of being honest and saying, "Oh well, it was a good ride while it lasted," liberal chatterers indignantly demand: "Is this not the greatest betrayal a public servant ever committed against the people?"
On one hand, liberals are enraged at the heinousness of Mark Sanford - whom they didn't vote for - for not resigning and, on the other, they're enraged at Palin - whom they also didn't vote for - for resigning.
The peculiarly venomous hatred of Palin is driven by women of the left and their whipped consorts. All that needs to happen is for a feminist to overhear two Nation readers saying, "I hate to admit it, but Palin is kind of hot" and ...
What??????????? You call that hot? I'll have you know we've got a mega-super hottie in Debbie Wasserman Schultz. And need i remind you again of the raw sex appeal of Rachel Maddow?
Democrats are a party of women, and nothing drives them off their gourds like a beautiful Christian conservative. (How much money has that other beautiful born-again, Carrie Prejean, been forced to spend on lawyers to respond to liberal hysteria?)
So the motives are clear, but the money is not. Who is paying the rent for the losers filing all these frivolous complaints against Palin?
At least when Richard Mellon Scaife was funding investigations of Bill Clinton, we knew who Scaife was - he was an American citizen, and his money was accessible to U.S. tax authorities and not stashed in offshore accounts like a certain Hungarian Nazi-collaborator I can name.
How about some modern-day Scaife investigate the investigators?
Nor for Mittbots; but, I repeat myself... ;)
That is so true, Libs do sputter about Sarah Palin, it’s like some sort of compulsion for them.
There is something about Sarah Palin that just trips their wires, it’s amazing to see.
Or maybe they are afraid of Sarah not just staying in Alaska any more.....she now can go nationwide.
The left and the RINOs will throw a bigger hissy fit
Did anybody happen to see Peggy Noonan’s hate-filled, delusional anti-Palin ravings a couple of days ago where she referred to Palin as “dangerous” and “harmful” (among her least offensive remarks)?
Lew Rockwell said that the people who hated Palin most were actually the “Beltway Republicans,” and they were the ones who were desperate to do her in.
SOROS!
“why do so many on the Left HATE her?”
Its like being a non union worker at a union factory. The non-union worker gets twice as much done in the same amount of time. The union workers hate the non-union employee because the employee dispells the notion that union employees are over-worked under paid. Sarah Palin is a governor, Christian, mother, grandmother, outdoorswoman, small business owner, and leader of a naicent conservative movement in this nation. And she makes it look effortless. Hot or not, the left hates her because she acquired none of these titles due to an affirmative action program. Because of this, carpet munchers and the Dogs of the Dems will never like her, regardless of looks.
The people who don’t want to give her a fair shake because of her looks are suburban women who’s husbands are giving her a +13% approval rating amongst men. That is because right now the debate is still about Sarah Palin, not issues. Once the issues debate begins, I think you see the suburban women moving Palin’s way.
Bingo!
All the RATS are terrified of Sarah.
All the RINOs are terrified of Sarah.
She reflects the true conservative standard. Joe Sixpack understands this and stands up with her.
Go Sarah! You are in a very unique position to do an incredible amount of good for our country.
Why hate Sarah?
‘Cause she’s a RINO KILLER!
PRECISELY what the GOP needs.
Just look at her record in Alaska. That’s why there is so much smoke up there and the ijiot lawsuits—it’s all them displaced RINOs.
Y'all are blatantly disregarding the rules. These wives react to their husbands' interest in Sarah Palin the way they react if their husband looks at a younger, prettier woman in public.
“These wives react to their husbands’ interest in Sarah Palin the way they react if their husband looks at a younger, prettier woman in public.”
Its funny too because these are the same women who are buying People and Cosmo to hear about Angelina’s boobs or who Brittney is screwing this week, or the 50 Sexiest Men. My wife reads them, but she says its just for the articles.
As I posted on another thread about the hit piece Noonan has in the WSJ, quoting:
"What she is, is a seemingly very nice middle-class girl with ambition, appetite and no sense of personal limits." So said Noonan of Palin!
In making such a sweeping judgments of a woman who actually has done something, as opposed to just writing about things, makes their judgments simply irrelevant.
Noonan, in retrospect, like a chameleon, may have absorbed the glow of Reagan, heard his ideas which he so clearly expressed, and was able to put them to paper in such a manner that she accumulated an overblown resume--one which has followed her till today.
She has overstepped her own "personal limits" in her analysis of Palin, the millions of Americans who understand Palin well, and in where her small mind believes Palin will be in the future. By so doing, she has revealed things about herself which she may not have intended. In Laura Ingraham's interview with Quinn on Oreilly this week, Quinn did the same thing. Her pettiness and irrational conclusions simply revealed her own bias.
Romney..hell, Romney isnt even in this fight. He will be the GOP bomb thrower at Palin.
The GOP better hear us...or else they will be doomed to defeat after defeat. The again, maybe they fear victory because then they would have to do some thinking and work.
Agreed. From a previous thread:
"There is a cancerous ideological knot pulsing deep within the soul of the present-day Republican party, comprised of blandly disingenuous (and inherently dishonest) go-along-to-get-along 'DemocratLite' types. To these sick, sorry souls: the very real risk of a second Barack Obama administration, come 2012, is infinitely preferable to that of a genuinely and demonstrably committed conservative being seated in the Oval Office, instead."
Yes, another so-called “conservative” columnist, Kathleen Parker of the Orlando Sentinel, also wrote a column “Palin’s choice was simply about Palin.” This article also vilified Palin as some of Parker’s other columns in the past about Palin.
Why are these so-called “conservatives” against her? Are they jealous that she is so much prettier than they are, that she has a handsome husband and a nice family. Now she’s a “quitter” when that was what they wanted her to do in the first place.
I am so sick of all the coverage putting her down.
“I wish I knew how to quit you....”
“Well, why don’t you? Why don’t you just let me be?”
Yes.
