When it comes to “bizarre”, nothing tops Baracko Hussein Obama being “elected” president of this country. Now THAT’S BIZZARE.

She makes it very clear that it has to do with the constant assaults of liberal operatives and the liberal media. She doesn’t seem to want to be a politician anymore, and I can’t say that I blame her.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone can understand plain English. Palin's move makes perfect sense if you understand what she was saying, but apparently the media wants to read their own agenda into her statement.

Okay, nevermind all that. Check out my favorite paragraph from the philandering article:

“Philandering is usually an essential part of the package for successful politicians. If I tried to make a list of them all as proof, I’d die of old age at my computer before finishing even a small fraction (and I am scandalously young, so far as you know). That doesn’t make philandering right, simply to be expected: lying, broken promises, bumping uglies, etc. As a nation, we realize that we can’t expect simple moral decency from most politicians, so we just look the other way and go on. After all, deep down, we realize that if it weren’t for congressional bodies, both national and local, that we would just have thousands more “white collar” criminals filling our prisons. So when you are in a bathroom at the airport and find that your representative is peering at you with love in his eyes from under the stall, you should just laugh it off and give him a good kick.”

I think she’ll engineer a 2010 conservative come back in the house and Senate like Newts 1994 “Contract With America” and then proceed to kick tail in the 2012 Presidential election.

It is not like we have an abundance of conservatives that could pull this off, but she could.

One of my thoughts concerns slander and libel. Public officials give up much of their rights to use the courts to protect themselves against slander and libel. For some reason, that I've never understood, this also extends to close relatives.

I wonder if this move will allow her children to sue the perpetrators if they continue to be slandered and libeled after Mom is no longer Governor.
