For now Piper has escaped. Has anyone noticed how much she is like her mother? I will never forget those images of her at the convention, smoothing Trig’s baby hair. And then up on the state, what a little hambone she is! You could see she loved all the hoopla & I’m pretty sure she thought they were all applauding for her.
As well we all should be.
I am finding the reaction to Palin to be fascinating. An awful lot of women I know are railing about her being a “quitter”, while most of the men express sympathy for what her family has been put through.
.38-.39, what ever it takes.
Guess I was just half listening again.
2 million state funds plus 500K from Palin family have been spent.
I just had an unmanly moment there.
Good morning/afternoon, megaRushIsAwaydittos from Biggirl! Ping!:)=^..^=
I love Piper. I think she has more sense than our current heads of state.
I used to like Laura, but she’s comes across as a little too angry. Yes, I know there is alot to be angry about. That’s why Rush is the master. He gets angry every now and then, but he goes on break and comes back fresh.
Now that would be something.
Mark Belling is sitting in today.....
As a strong independent woman, I am inspired.
Better than Mark Davis.
Ever notice how Rush’s subs have the name Mark? *L* It must be in their contract.
I bet you that Wiener is going to call Palin a quitter..
The motor-mouth subbing for Glenn sux bigtime! The dude needs some decaf and stick to his own gig.
If he’s the sub all week, I’ll be tuning out. With Rush out and unknown subs at the helm, it’s gonna be a long week!
I guess it’s a good thing whne the folks carrying the water for the DNC media come out of the closet. At least now I know which side of the fence they align themselves with.
When and how did Rush weigh in?
Absolutely. It’s sad when Bill Kristol is her strongest defender.
Puck ‘em, that’s what I say. ;)
Why she can't just wait and see, even though that's what she says she's doing, which is BS, is beyond me.

RUSH: This is Rush. Im on a golf vacation, parts unknown, all week long. Six cities, six courses, starting today. On this Palin business, you know, one of the reasons I havent said anything to anybody is I dont know what this means and I think all of this is just speculation. We dont know what her reasons for doing this are yet. The speculation here and the predictions here rival some of the irresponsibility I saw with people speculating on the cause of death of Michael Jackson when nobody knew and we still dont know with Michael Jackson. We think we do but we dont. We havent had an official autopsy report.
As far as I know, nobody in Palins camp or Palin herself has said what the hell this is about and why shes doing this. So everybodys guessing and everybodys applying their own, either inside-the-Beltway formulas to this... All I know is this: If Sarah Palin has any desire to do a TV show, to do speeches, to raise money, to earn money whatever its for if she has any desire for a future, be it in politics, be it in media or whatever, shes going to have to do it in the Lower 48. She cannot do it in Alaska. Its not going to get it done.
I dont think this precludes her running for office down the road, the presidency in 2012, at all. I think these people saying that shes an instant target because she quit, thats just inside-the-Beltway formulaic and shes not that. If anything this woman, her m.o. is outside-the-box and not formulaic. So until we know what this is all about, I think its just everybody trying to be the smartest person in the room trying to predict or analyze, when nobody can really know. All I know is that she is going to continue to fire-up people in the conservative Republican base as often as she speaks to em.
Judging from my emails, I havent seen a whole lot of em from people who are disappointed or who will throw her overboard like a lot of people are. It boils down to this: When you have so many establishment types inside-the-Beltway, elite, establishment types (Republican, Democrat, it doesnt matter) just so eager to destroy this woman, it means theyre still scared to death of her. And that, to me, is the bottom line. You know, Im living proof that you do things outside the box, that you dont do them formulaically and if you do it the right way, you dont have to be part of a formula.
And I think its one of the problems with D.C. Beltway types and wannabe D.C. Beltway analyst types or whatever. So I hope this helps, but Im not going to sit here and tell you I know for sure what this means because I dont, cause I havent heard her say I havent heard anybody in her camp say what this is all about and why shes doing it. Its all just speculation, and until we know, its just stupid to sit here and say, I know for sure what shes doing, when nobody does except her and shell tell us at some point, and then well know.
