If Only That Were True
Talking Points Memo — Sarah Palin: "It always feels good to do what is right."

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 yesterday. She argued that it's in "Alaska's best interest" for her ...

Quote Of The Day - Deeper and Deeper Edition
Newshoggers.com — ... By Ron Beasley Sarah Palin tried to elaborate on her resignation speech on Facebook.  Josh has the content. The quote of the day comes from Steve Benen. In case there were any doubts, Palin's personal spokesperson told the AP that the Facebook message was, in fact, written by the governor. It was a helpful clarification, since it was easy to assume the message was written by a junior high school student who had hacked into Palin's profile. Now mindless incoherence may be a plus to ...

"The response in the main stream media has been most predictable, ironic, and as always, detached from the lives of ordinary Americans who are sick of the 'politics of personal destruction,'" Palin writes. "How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it's about country. And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of ...

No More Mister Nice Blog — ... ... in the absence of any serious accomplishments of her own that Palin can point to, the hatred of her enemies is the essential component in any argument about why she deserves to be the party's figurehead. (And she's asking for more attacks with this abrupt resignation -- which will further reinforce her and her supporters' image of her as a victim.) Elsewhere in the Times, there was this quote from her Facebook page (Josh Marshall has the whole message): ...And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a ...
