We don't subscribe to the notion recently floated by Rick Moran in "Did Sarah Palin just 'Pwn' the media with divorce rumors?" that the Gryphen-Zaki meltdown over the weekend was the result of an elaborate Rovian setup brilliantly planned and executed by Sarah Palin:
It's too pat, the pieces fit too nicely together (an "explanation" for why she resigned) not to raise alarms with real journalists. So I think there is at least the possibility, that either someone in the Palin camp with an ax to grind with the media - or, less likely, Palin herself - whispered a few words to a birdie they were sure would get the word to people who would publish it.We have even seen some of Gryphen's fellow travellers advance the same theory. But you have to remember that these are the same people who claim that Sarah Palin is the stupidest woman to come along since Lot's wife, and she is supported by a cast of characters of such incompetence that they can't even manage to book her solidly for speaking events. How then, can she be so dang dumb and yet manage to outfox the best liberal minds in Alaska, the Gryphenistas never bother to explain. Go figure...
It's not that we refuse to believe the former governor is capable of some adept political "strategery"-- we've seen that demonstrated more than once in her political career. In this case, however, we believe that the anti-Palin hate bloggers roasted their own rear ends without any assistance from the Sarahcuda. It has more to do with a different kind of political animal entirely. For want of a better term to describe it, we call it the Wyle E. Coyote Effect.

I doubt the whole shmear was done by Palin, but I do think that bit about buying property in Montana was a great way to out a suspected skunk.

Who said Sarah and Todd were divorcing?
I still think it holds water:
Cheers!

Hah hah, cheers to you too. I remember my first comment about Palin was several months earlier when someone floated her name as a VP choice for Thompson or Hunter. I said something like, “yah, she’s great, but she has no name recognition to help bump Hunter”. I posted about a week before McCain announced his running mate that, whoever it would be, SHE would need to be a strong conservative. Sarah soon went supernova and yet I still feel Hunter would make a better president. What can ya do? Fate is a fickle mistress.
“Who said Sarah and Todd were divorcing?”
It was a bogus rumor. Who started it, I don’t know, but they were going nuts with it over on the DU, until even they started questioning its validity.
Beep, beep!!!
