1. Rachel nailed it -

She does not have the political acumen to hold office. K&R for Rachel!

2. Rachel always nails it.

Missed it tonight, had a thing to go to, so glad it's already up on video. Thanks Hissyspit!

3. Rachel "dismissed" her

Class is over.

5. Spot on. Thanks!

The most entertaining Republican on the planet - what a dull campaign it would have been with McCain and Romney, or some other charisma-challenged combination that wouldn't even make good political theater. Sarah Pallin-around is one of a kind - her like will not be witnessed again soon.

And I hope we can progress from here!

6. Tina Fey really had her: She's nothimg more than a pageant queen

Quitting her job doesn't bother her because she never wanted the job in the first place. She just wanted to win the popularity contest.

She's quitting because now she's finally got what she wanted: National notoriety.

If you can't get on TV by being smart or talented or actually important, you go on a reality show and hope there's a future in it.
She's the Tanya Harding of politics.

Ok. She's famous. Skip the career, just bring on the perks.

All those other loser politicians have to waste precious years sitting in boring meetings, running all night party/committee hearings, supporting their workers, appeasing special interest groups, gambling on the news cycle. Not Sarah.

The trappings of a political career are all she was interested in. Not the actual service, the work. She doesn't need any accomplishments.

The world has finally awoken to her magnificence. Give her the damn tiara and roses, NOW!

She's Bridezilla.

7. But she's still running for prez in 2012, right?

Please, Sarah, please. Do it for the political cartoonists and satirists. Do it because we need the entertainment. Now isn't the time to pack it in!

8. Rachel is right on the money

But no one can really tell what Sarah Palin will do next. I doubt Sarah Palin can.

9. Money, Money, MONEY. It's all about the MONEY

I said this right away after her resignation...she wants the money. She's that shallow. She's that greedy; just like the rest of the right wing bible thumping hypocrites.

I just found out my sister joined the Facebook group - Americans for Sarah Palin.
Bwahaaaahaaaaa...Oh wait. NOOOOO. That's my sister!
Oh my, no more family gatherings for me.
I can't be in the same room with someone that supports that buffoon.

11. Puh-leez

Rachel, of course, has it nailed. However, if anyone thinks that someone with such an incredibly over-inflated sense of self will just "fade away", they're nuts. She's not going anywhere. She's going to lie low for a while but rest assured, she'll be back and will run for another office again some day. Maybe Senator or Congress from her home district. Something. Watch...
