...could not handle any more of her shrieking idiocy. She was, hands down, the worst politician to ever
grace the airwaves. I'm not against Republicans or even listening to them. Even though their views
are not in line with mine, I can listen and tolerate the discourse.

Palin belongs in her own subgroup of moronic fools. From saying that Obama "pals around with terrorists" to her
inability to discuss the newspapers that she reads. She was a fluffy little narcissist and her nasal, high-pitched
voice made my cats howl.

I was ashamed to be a woman during that campaign.

I was also frightened that people actually liked her, and that she energized McCain's campaign. Her popularity
made me afraid of the lunatic contingent in this country.

Yes, very glad she is gone. For now. We should bow our heads and count our blessings.

... along with milking the gullible groupies who insisted on throwing their money at her.

Now Sarah is laughing her ass off while she spends their money.

it's because the person that electrified them the most, Sarah Palin, failed them. As unqualified as she is, she lead them down this road of hope and then basically ditched them by being too stupid for office. So I can see why they are lost; the person that most fired them up, as dumb as a choice that was, is out of it.

Personally, I'll simply enjoy the respite until she manages to interject herself back in.

And the odds strongly favor her doing trying to make a splash of some sort again. That's how she makes her money.

There's too many suckers out there that fell for her shtick. Her ego is always her worst enemy but in this case maybe have saved her. If the rushpublicans lose the White House this year, she'll rise up from the ashes in an attempt to become "queen" of the prom again.

how suspicious it is she's remained in the background. And so has Trump pretty much. So . . . do you suppose they're teeming up for a run as Independents?
