Late Night: Elephants Palin on Parade
Firedoglake — ... bragging about her stamina, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin up and quits. Her hastily organized presser—called on a super-news-dump Friday before a national holiday—coupled with the half-baked logic contained in her farewell, can only leave anyone who gives a rat’s sphincter to start wondering: which of Palin’s ten or twelve pending scandals is the one that has forced her to—as General McArthur didn’t say—“advance in a different direction?” It certainly made a commenter curious at the oft-Palin-palsy-walsy RedState: ...

She will not run for any elected office ever again. The political pundits who are saying she couldn't take the heat, ...

Reality Check on Huck and 2012
GOP 12 — ... supporters, today's bizarre press conference made her look brittle -- like a person who couldn't take the heat and was buckling in the face of attacks. Today's move is perfectly understandable if she wants to give up politics and protect her family from the blistering assaults of the media and her political oppenents. Maybe this news -- odd within the political realm -- actually makes her a pretty normal person by real world standards. But normal people do not get elected president. Erick Erickson : Sarah Palin will not be President in 2012. She will not run for President. She ...
