Palin Blasts Media Frenzy
The Page by Mark Halperin — Getty Writes on her Facebook page July 4, calling pundits' reaction to her announcement "predictable." "How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it's about country."

UPDATE: Politico Posts Palin’s Unusual July Fourth Facebook Message
The Moderate Voice — In my “Gail Collins Interprets Palin’s Resignation Speech,” we discussed how “disjointed and garbled” Palin’s prepared text remarks are, and, referring to her resignation speech, how incoherent even her prepared remarks are. Well, Politico.com has just published the text of a message Palin posted on Facebook just a few hours ago that is just as incoherent. According to Politico, the message describes reactions to her disemboweled resignation speech as “predictable, ironic, and as always, detached from the ...

And another thing...
Political Animal — AND ANOTHER THING.... Sarah Palin's bizarre speech on Friday, announcing her decision to quit mid-way through her first term, has not gone over especially well. That the outgoing governor wouldn't (or couldn't) offer a compelling rationale for her resignation -- the desire to "effect positive change outside government" isn't cutting it -- has only fueled questions about what Palin is thinking. With that in mind, Palin chose to elaborate on her rambling remarks with a 477-word, poorly-written Facebook message ...

Just Stupid
Balloon Juice — According to the LA Times, the FBI says Sarah is not under active investigation. Which means she isn’t a crook, she’s just criminally stupid for quitting her four year governorship two years in because she wants to avoid being a lame duck, even though she could run again. Also, this is awesome by even Palin’s standards: Palin, who has not had a public schedule for the July 4th holiday, posted a message on her Facebook page just before 5 O’clock Eastern describing news accounts of her announcement yesterday as “predictable, ironic, and as always, detached from the lives of ordinary Americans ...

Lady GaGa Update
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan — The statement from yesterday First, I want to thank you for your support and hard work on the values we share. Those values led me to the decision my family and I made. Yesterday, my family and I announced a decision that is in Alaska’s best interest and it always feels good to do what is right. We have accomplished more during this one term than most governors do in two – and I am proud of the great team that helped to build these wonderful successes. Energy independence and national security, fiscal restraint, smaller government, and local control have ...

Palin's Resignation: Proud To Be Trash
BAGnewsNotes — This photo was circulated by Getty after Palin was tabbed for Veep by McCain and appeared, at least, in a cheeseball LAT election slideshow on Palin's fashion sense. If you haven't seen it before, however, it's because the image, like Palin herself, is radioactive. Although taken back in '04 (see caption below), the statement is significant ...

Michael Shaw: Reading The Pictures: Palin Proud To Be Trash
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — This photo was circulated by Getty after Palin was tabbed for Veep by McCain and appeared, at least, in a cheeseball LAT election slideshow on Palin's fashion sense. If you haven't seen it before, however, it's because the image, like Palin herself, is radioactive. Although taken back in '04 (see caption below), the statement is significant today for revealing an attitude (along with the adorable love 'ya/just shot 'ya) that, upon her resignation from elected office, now morphs into a full-blown strategy. Palin has created a scenario, at least in her mind, in which she's defeated the press and can freely Facebook and speak ...

Sarah Palin Not Under Federal Investigation
The Latest on Air America — Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who announced her mid-term resignation last Friday , is not under federal investigation, authorities say. Rumors have been swirling about the reason for her unexpected announcement, including one that a Palin-supported construction project in Wasilla was not entirely within bounds. "We are not investigating her," FBI spokesman Eric Gonzalez said on Sunday. "Normally we don't confirm or deny those kind of allegations out there, but by not doing so it just casts her in a very bad light. There is just no truth to those rumors out there in the blogosphere." Palin has denied all interview requests since Friday's abrupt announcement, and has instead ...
