There have been a number of seminal queries which our elders used to define game-changing moments in America’s cultural evolution. Where were you when JFK was shot? Where were you when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon? For me, although it will likely wind up as a Trivial Pursuit bonus round question, one of the treasured turning points may well be: Where were you when Sarah Palin decided to commit political suicide?
The odd thing is that I was up in the mountains, forcing myself into a period of decompression from the political theater. I likely wouldn’t have even known that Governor Palin had decided to resign her office had I not been taking time out from fruitless bass fishing to moderate the chat for Ed Morrissey’s daily show.

Desperate times require desperate measures. A well-calculated political coup if you ask me!
or
Maybe just flushing out the weak kneed supporters. Neither you or I know what the future will hold for Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin is taking a political risk, but is far from suicide. I think it is a wise move that will give Palin an opportunity to become the voice of conservatism and will lead to much stronger support.
I find it highly amusing that the MSM, lefties and some on the right and insisting that Sarah Palin is now done for. They don’t know that, of course, but they are throwing an awful lot of pennies into their wishing well.
ROTFLOL
The whole damn article is wandering non-sense.
