Steele Reaches Out to Palin
In a time when jobs are scarce, Sarah Palin is lucky to have admirers in high places: the outgoing governor of Alaska is receiving support from outspoken Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who is already reaching out to offer her a place in the RNC. “I’m very excited about the opportunity to have Sarah Palin freed up now to engage across the country to help…reorient the party and grow it,” Steele told Fox News. “She said she now wants to be able to contribute in a different way, and as RNC chairman, I absolutely welcome it.” But he also seemed hesitant to rush her into the White House: "Not having talked to the governor, I take 2012 off the table right now simply because given everything she's going through personally, dealing with the financial mess that all these ludicrous investigations have put her and Todd in, at the moment, I think she's trying to focus on getting her house in order, her personal house in order."

Oh, I can figure how it goes:
House Negro Michael: "Hi Sarah, I hear you're on the market. We've got a ball cap for you to wear - how do they wear them in Alaska? I told the Young Republicans we wear them backward, to the right side, to the left side or however. How do you wear yours?"
Token Female Palin: "As long as mine says "No Mean Media" I'll wear it. Actually, how do you wear yours, Michael? I think I'd like to take your cap"
Hmmm...might Sarah be ready to take on the RNC post and boot poor mispoken-Michael out?
sorry, THAT'S OVER THE LINE!

meh, what ever
republicans are screwed
looks like its time for the 6th party system, or better yet with all the new technologies we have access to why dont we get rid of parties all together. thats the way the founding father's envisioned this country, and i the the vast majority of americans would see an improvement in their lives.
Picture this: every 2,4,6 years vote in new officials. Then every morning officials send out to their constituents a list of items that are going to be discussed that day. you vote yes or no, and then every day your congressman or executive knows exactly how the people he represents feel about an issue. there wouldnt be any room for lobbying and politics wouldn't be 10 years behind public opinion.
oh my gosh! is it finally happening? just a couple last gasps of delirium over palin on a post that is already nearly one hour old. there's a catch, has to be.

yes, especially when they lose ground for not being Democratic enough but still control majorities in both houses and so redouble their efforts.

Who Cares?????????? Two Losers.
I care 'cause there's enough stupid asses out there to almost elect her. Latest poll: 43% of Americans said they might vote for the scum bag double-talking woman who Can't Understand Normal Thinking!
Hang on..I thought she was planning to step away from political limelight so she can concentrate on family?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Sarah Palin's office has released a nearly $2 million cost breakdown detailing what the resigning Alaska governor says the state has paid tackling ethics complaints against her.
The spreadsheet compiled by the governor's office totals more than $1.9 million reportedly spent by various state agencies to handle the complaints as well as public records requests.
Palin, who steps down July 26, has racked up more than $500,000 in personal legal debts on top of that.
According to the cost breakdown, expenditures by the state Department of Law added up to more than $850,000.
The governor's office says its expenditures totaled more than $425,000 in nearly 6,000 hours of staff hours.
Palin's staff released the numbers to back up her contention the onslaught of "frivolous" ethics complaints have cost the state millions of dollars and thousands staff hours.
they really call it the "Department of Law"?
Oh, and where are your citations, please?
Palin's resignation has no effect on Alaska because, let's face it, they could train a monkey to run that state. That being said I hope she comes back from her time of reflection a more interesting engaged person. I'm tired of reading stories that all could be titled, "Stupid Palin Moment of the Day".
Bankrupt blue states like California, New York, Michigan, Illinois, etc. seem to require entire legislators full of trained democratic monkeys to run them into the ground.

hehe, you won't find me trying to defend my Californian democrats! That being said I think that our trained monkeys could indeed run Alaska....ain't nothing hard up there except deciding how big the oil dividends are going to be.
I don't hate Palin. She is just another conservative VP candidate that the Republicans use to appeal to their Confederate-evangelical base, no more, no less. She is just another Agnew-Quayle-Cheney, a free marketeer who hates gays and abortion, waves the flag a lot and talks about Jesus.
She is no worse than any of the others of that ilk, and no better. If God is on Obama's side, they will run her in 2012 and he will clean up like LBJ did to Goldwater in 1964.
Plain will win states like Texas, Mississippi, Utah and South Carolina, which are hoplessly fascist and mired in centuries hereditary stupidity, racism and religious idiocy. That is her Base--the only Base she will ever have--the same one as Lush Rimbaugh and Murdoch "News".
mcmchugh99. Great analysis. Don't think 'hate' is too strong of a word to use for her. She reminds me of the mother in the Manchurian Candidate and I remember hating her, actually. Palin is a gigantic loser and now she is a quitter, unless she has finally given a good reason for letting down each and every Alaska voter (winners or losers). Steele
wants to give her a for pay job in the RNC? Stupid.
Thank you.
