Sarah Palin Offers Surprisingly Eloquent, Moving Reasons for Resigning
Sarah Palin gave her last speech as an elected official yesterday, and I don't know if it was the weight of the moment or a bad hot dog or what, but all of a sudden the woman standing at the microphone was thoughtful, reasoned, even — dare I say it — articulate.
Psych. April Fool's Day!
Ha, psych again. July 27th! (You people really need to stop being so gullible.) No no, this is Sarah Palin we're talking about, good ol' "Barracuda," so let's see what sort of half-digested chum poured from her lips… for example, did you know that newspapers are destroying America, not the other way around? True fact!
Palin launched the first salvo of her speech at the media, saying democracy depends on it.
"That is why our troops are willing to die for you. So, how about, in honor of the American soldier, ya' quit makin' things up?" she said to hoots, hollers, and sustained applause from the crowd. She didn't say what she was referring to.
Another true fact: the magic word ("troops") cancels out the need for any further explanation, of anything, ever.
But then Palin's speech got a little, um, NSFW (and in front of Trig, no less!). Maybe I should put this behind a jump…
Palin said Alaska can resist "enslavement to big central government." She warned darkly of what she called the perils of taking government "largess."
"It doesn't come free, and often accepting it takes away everything that is free," Palin said. "Melting into Washington's powerful, caretaking arms will just suck incentive to work hard and chart our own course right out of us."
Well, at least this solves the riddle of "what is Sarah Palin going to do now that she is not governor," and the answer is, she will read more softcore romance novels, which apparently have been instrumental in shaping her understanding of government.

Hasn't Alaska traditionally been the largest recipient of "government largesse" for something like the past 50 years?
Sarah Palin = Dan Quayle 2.0
She will make a wonderful Presidential candidate, in that she can destroy the Republican Party completely, simply by enlisting their help in her White House bid.
They have been a morally bankrupt entity for a good 10 years, if not much longer, anyway. Sometimes, a Phoenix will rise from the ashes, and she is certainly equipped to light the fire that starts the final conflagration over on the right.
It's really a shame that we have no genuine second party, but if she blows up big enough, we may find ourselves with a few extras before too many years pass.
Plus, she is just so darn funny when she tries to speak.
I whole heartedly agree with Sara.
This vet wants Sarah Palin to shut up as well.
Hey, Sarah? How 'bout in honor of this vet right here you sit down and shut the hell up?
Well, it was worth a try.
