C'mon, Rot, gimme a break. Those guys are jerks -- and partisan hacks -- of course. Still, that resignation speech was a bad move on her part -- provided she does indeed have political ambitions.

A cooler head: Staunch GOP conservative Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) doubts that Sarah Palin will be able to resurrect her political career after calling it quits as governor of Alaska. ... "I hope there’s something brilliant behind this because she’s entirely capable of actually having a grand strategy that the rest of us don’t understand.”

Ah - ask Mr Rot, he knows the inside scoop. It's so brilliant, no one can understand, except him.

Rove is an idiot -- right, Mr Rot?

ROVE: Well, they’re a little perplexed because she -- if she wanted to escape the ethics investigations and save the taxpayers money, she’s now done that, but it is -- it sort of sent a -- sent a signal that if you do this kind of thing to a sitting governor like her, you can drive her out of office.

Also, she’s not going to be able to escape media attention. If she thinks somehow that she’s going to be able to protect her family against the kind of things that she’s suffered over the last couple of months from David Letterman and others, and seek a role of leadership for effective change for our country, as she said in her speech, she’s not going to be able to do it.

The media, if she wants to run for president, is going to be following her intensely for the next three years.
...
It’s also unclear what her strategy is. Again, she said she wanted to lead effective change outside of government. Well, now we’re -- now people are going to be saying, “What is it that you mean by that? And how are you -- demonstrated effective leadership for change around America?”

She'll go on an anti-Gore speaking tour and you'll be outside with a pitchfork with your Birkenstocks, Tecs.

Admit it.

She may go on all sorts of speaking tours, but what weight will her words carry now that she won't be an elected official, and with only 2.5 skimpy years in office, not having done much of anything? Thin gruel, methinks.

Perhaps you're right, but the sight of Romney makes me think of Biden II. Big smiling dope.
