And I am another of those 'critical of ms. Palin' who did find something to do as well. We had the first opening (as the building is only one-half rennovated but we could not wait!) of our new Knox County (Knoxville) TN permanent Democratic Office on Friday night and some of us toasted her 'announcement' with glee, joy, and a bottle of white and a bottle of red! And we have so enjoyed the soap opera that is SC and soon to be ex governor Sanford! This makes Palin's quitting the icing on our cake. We do appreciate all the scandals, and 'sexual problems' of the poor GOP. And personally, I think Palin quit for two reasons: money and/or sex! How many trips did she make down here to the lower 48 'on business' anyway! We celebrate with y'all down here. These days it is so much fun to be a loyal, liberal Democrat!

I've been real busy the past few months and have missed the flats, but it's good to drop back in again.

While they may not be "the iceberg" the CBS "Palin E-Mails" between herself and Steve Schmidt were utterly damming on so many levels. As AIP party members were her original foot soldiers in Wasilla politics, she showed no loyalty at all. Her willingness to lie not only to American voters, but to her own inner circle is chilling. The title of the article could just as easily been: Sarah: Dis-honest and Dis-loyal. I’m in agreement with Martha @578.

Her voice was filled with rapid speech and seemed bent on getting as much “info” as she could compress in whatever time she had. Her breathing was shallow and audible. ~~~~~~~~~~~ She posted a speech on the SOA website which was (I think) a "do over". I havn't seen it (yesterday seeing all day long was enough, thank you) but the bots are estastic, Implying that the speeches that were on the news yesterday were somehow "doctored" is what I'm getting. I totally agree with you, she was hyperventilating/gasping almost for air, and yet she was very, very pissed off! The *iceberg* cometh :D espresso4me Says:
