"Stinkin' Thinkin'"

If Al Franken's "Stewart Smalley" had a more conservative alter ego it would undoubtedly be Sarah Palin.

In late March, a senior official from the Republican Governors Association headed for Alaska on a secret mission. Sarah Palin was beset by such political and personal turmoil that some powerful supporters determined an intervention was needed to pull her governorship, and her national future, back from the brink.

The official, the association’s executive director, Nick Ayers, arrived with a memorandum containing firm counsel, according to several people who know its details: Make a long-term schedule and stick to it, have staff members set aside ample and inviolable family time to replenish your spirits, and build a coherent home-state agenda that creates jobs and ensures re-election.

Like so much of the advice sent Ms. Palin’s way by influential supporters, it appeared to be happily received and then largely discarded, barely slowing what was, in retrospect, an inexorable march toward the resignation she announced 10 days ago.

She's a thin-skinned, vane, narcissist, proud of her own ignorance. She's an even shallower George W. Bush.

And how hilarious to see McCain on 'Meet the Press' (again?!) say she didn't "quit" and she's so wonderful, "I cannot tell you the appreciation I have for her", yeah, I bet you can't.

And now, biting the hairy-dragged-knuckled hand that feeds her, she's puffing about running a 3rd Party. Which from my perspective would be the greatest gift she could give America. She'll take half the GOP with her into the "really crazy" Party and provide me material every goddamned day -- hell, she already does. She's one of the handful of moronic politicians that thinks Twitter is an awesome place to display imbecility (via assistant) every day. From Grassley not being able to spell, or thinking he's 'Prince' to Newt Gingrich twittering talking points from the shower buildings of Aushwitz.

Thanks for the demented train-wreck.
