The Alaska governor tells her Twitter followers “elected is replaceable;Ak WILL progress! + side benefit=10 dys til less politically correct twitters fly frm my fingertps outside State site.” Palin indicates in a more recent message that later this month she will launch a personal Twitter account for nonstate business and, presumably, more quotes on the nature of quitting.

Why doesn’t Palin just hurry the heck up and Rapture already?

What she NEEDS to do is put her BRAIN into motion BEFORE putting her mouth in gear.

Before that, though, she’ll have to deal with the fact that her brain seized up about 35 years ago.

According to John McCain’s comments on Meet the Press, he thinks Palin is unequivocably qualified to be president of the US.  As far as I’m concerned, that makes him as dangerous as she is.  I lost all confidence in McCain when he caved in to the religious right and chose Palin as his running mate. He jeopardized our nation in a lame-assed effort to snag the women’s vote and further his own political ambitions.  Palin was thrust onto the national stage but she doesn’t have enough common sense to step out of the limelight.

hello. agreed. loosening her tongue regarding past issues truly demonstrates less class than i think her base deserves. just work behind the scenes to make changes where they are appropriate, and make public what will help positive progress. we could use some more change: like [whasshisname?(Soreoto)] one-timer promised. get-r-another sixpack and chill.

Why would she want to loosen her tongue? she seems to trip over it enough already.

I had hoped that Sarah had joined an appropriate (for her) nutter religion, and was planning to speak in tongues. I’d pay good money to see and hear that, and consider it a bargain. And then there’s always YouTube.

Or maybe Sarah was planning to drink heavily; normally I don’t recommend it to anyone, but in her case it might be necessary therapy, and the liver is a forgiving organ. I could recommend something else but I’m sure she would just say no, although I assume she and Todd toke in private—it’s Alaska after all.

A friend asked if I was on Twitter or Face Book and I’m not. I’ve considered Twitter because that helped the Iranians get news when the state shut down communications. Probably good to have when it happens here.

Sarah Palin loosening her tongue is like taking a laxative for diarrhea!

“Open wide, Sarah! Time to change feet!”

In her case, shouldn’t it just be “Twit”?
