That’s a lot of damn guest stars.

And they were listed before the main cast? Weird.

Palin, she’s been useful as a celebrity endorser, the base likes her, I like MOST of her recent primary picks, others like Joe Miller (in 2014 not in 2010) made me facepalm. That’s the limit of her role. She will not run for President. She will not be Sec of State.

I knew her career in elective office was over when she resigned as Governor. That wasn’t a “brilliant move” that would increase her chances at winning the White House and she wasn’t “forced” out by Alaska democrats and their “lawsuits”. She quit and chose another life, can’t blame her after the rats went after her family in 2008.

I wish people would let go of the idea that she’s a demigod, she’s not. I also wish she hadn’t teased the gullible with the idea she might run for President and I hope it doesn’t happen again in 2016.

It’s quite ironic to me, I first heard of and admired her in 2002 when she was running for LT Governor of Alaska, that was before 98% of freepers outside of Alaska had heard of her, just us election nerds who follow every race, even Alaska LT Governor. I was an early backer of her for VP when people dismissed the idea. And now reality forces me to rain on the parade.

I vehemently disagree with the claim that she wasn’t forced from office. She was being systematically bankrupted by a blizzard of frivolous and baseless ethics charges that she had to defend herself from (a serious flaw with respect to the AK Governor’s office). It wasn’t just the Democrats engaged in taking her down, but the Murkowski Establishment wing of the AK GOP, nevermind the entire media establishment just for starters. They were pledged to destroy her and her family by any and all means, and leave her in tatters before the end of her term.

It was the 70s - lots of mesc and Herpes.

“She quit and chose another life, can’t blame her after the rats went after her family in 2008.”

Yep. And yet the Kennedy’s are still around.
