She needs something to keep her face in the news. This round won't last long. Enough of the truth is getting through. How many times will the media sit there smiling, eating up the lies only to see how stupid they looked later (well Fox allways) by not questioning anything.

Sarah Palin the clown that keeps us laughing. It probably already up to there is an article on HuffPo that points out that all those legal fees the state is spending or her defense are just the salaries of the state's lawyers, who would get paid regardless.

Schmidt isn’t resigning. He’s staying in his job. He’s just saying he doesn’t want to move to Lt. Gov. I still say that this issue is for newly appointed Gov. Parnell, not ex-governor Palin. The only way she can control this issue is to get Schmidt to resign and then appoint someone else to his position, that person then becoming the default Lt. Gov. when she officially resigns and Parnell is Gov.

She isn’t going to (legally) resolve this before she leaves. And if she calls the legislature back to vote on anything, she is shooting those feet she has placed securely in her mouth.

It’s over. If Palin thought she was a lame duck before, she ain’t seen nuttin’ yet.

I don’t get it.

Which is why she is about to be out. She wanted the attention and adulation but was afraid to get her elbows dirty.

That's why there's an issue now, because Buttercup chose Schmidt as her #3, the Leg. confirmed him in April, and now he says he doesn't want to move up when she leaves. SO, she's trying to change the #3 person to Campbell, but he can't actually BE (real) Lt. Gov. upon her departure unless the Leg. has confirmed him. I guess he could be the acting Lt. Gov., but I'm not sure (and then wouldn't it suck if he quit his DMVA Commissioner job to be the acting Lt. Gov. and then <i>didn't</i> get confirmed as Lt. Gov.?)
