It's the thought that counts

Alaskan Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who will succeed Gov. Sarah Palin:
"She's accomplished more in these two and a half years than most governors accomplish in one or two terms," he said. "Our governor has been a great governor. She is going to be Alaska's and is Alaska's greatest gift to our country."
No thanks. Where the heck do we go to return this particular gift?
Palin added in a statement that she was "determined to take the right path for Alaska even though it is not the easiest path. Once I decided not to run for re-election, I also felt that to embrace the conventional 'lame duck' status in this particular climate would just be another dose of 'politics as usual,' something I campaigned against and will always oppose."
So quitting your post with another 18 months to go in office is somehow serving the people of Alaska? It's the "right thing" for Alaska?

Is she now admitting that she sucks as Governor?

When asked if he would complete Palin's term, Parnell said yes and ended his interview on a surreal note.
"But I am also conscious that we don't control life, so I may be dead tomorrow, and I'm not going to commit beyond that," he said, smiling.
I think the EPA may want to do some tests on Alaska's water.

When the US bought Alaska, they called it Seward's Folly. Maybe someone knew something about what it does to people.

That's hilarious. She abandons her post and she deseves the benefit of the doubt? Should Bush have resigned when Congress started looking at ethics complaints? I thought Republicans believed in responsibility.

She quit for one reason only. She was tired of being a big fish in a small pond. She wants to tour the country charging $100k speaking fees and trying to rally conservatives. She is now part of the cult of personality and wants to use her celebrity while she has it. I don't know that I'd blame her but this was NOT a move in the best interest of her state. This was a selfish, calculated decision to benefit only herself.

Letterman makes a bad joke clearly about the "pregnant out of wedlock" daughter and apologized twice and it's sexual assault? Overreact much?

I thought Christians were supposed to be forgiving.
