If she is the future of the Republicans,
they’re in even more trouble than anybody dreamed. If she’s the future for the rest of us, we’re screwed.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/07/27/2009-07-27_lupica_oh_so_fitting_to_see_sarah_palin_quitting.html
<snip>
We should have known right then what kind of opportunist Palin was, how intoxicated she’d become with instant celebrity, as she took an unwanted teen pregnancy and tried to make it sound like some sort of pro-life sacrament. Now Levi Johnston makes the rounds on talk shows and tries to start an acting career by trading on Palin’s name and her celebrity, using her the way she used him. Hand it to the kid. He learned fast. At least he doesn’t try to make himself out to be noble, being out on the hustle this way. The woman who was never going to be his mother-in-law can’t help herself, starting with a resignation speech that sounded as if she were delivering it to a high school assembly on Career Day:

“It may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: ‘Sit down and shut up,’but that’s the worthless, easy path,” Palin said when announcing her resignation earlier this month. “That’s a quitter’s way out. And a problem in our country today is apathy. It would be apathetic to just hunker down and ‘go with the flow.’ Nah, only dead fish ‘go with the flow.’”

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah :rofl:

1. Alice in Wonderland time. Let's see, staying on the job is defined as "quitting".
Quitting the job she was elected to do is to be admired.

Anybody else think she's upside down in her thinking?

:wtf:

6. Didn't she once say.....
"When the going gets tough, the tough get going"?

Well Palin, what happened? You decide to "cut and run"?

LOL...

2. If she's the future of the Republicans, they have no future.
The woman is a liar, for one.

An adulterer, for another.

Likely corrupt, for a third.

A nit wit on her best day.

And the 1960s have called: Joanne Worley wants her beehive hairdo back!

If she's all they've got, they're in trouble.

8. If she is, it's because they will blindly follow her, not because of her ideas.

3. Palin's just the current pin-up of the Republicans...
...and has about as much to do with politics as Coulter does.

5. Using Coulter and pin up in the same sentence should be a board violation
:argh:

It's going to take all day to get that image out of my brain.

;)

4. I think Democrats need to be VERY careful while declaring their boat unsinkable...
Any of us who have been through a few of these cycles will realize that the right may metastasize, but it will not disappear.

9. I wish.
I'd like to think that her stupidity and bat-shit craziness will sink that ship. But unfortunately, a lot of fundies like her because she's "one of them". Personally, I want someone smarter than I to run government. But many distrust anyone who sounds educated and intelligent. I don't understand it, but it's true.

I honestly think she might be more stupid than W. That's what scares me.
