Palin Quits But Claims She's Not a Quitter

Can you imagine if Obama quit after being called a terrorist and someone who pals around with terrorists? Can you imagine if Obama quit after being harassed about his birth certificate, after being harassed for being black, for being young, for being not black enough?
Can you imagine if Obama quit after being mocked for being a community organizer or because someone said something horrible about Michelle?
Politics is for tough cookies. It's about having the ability to withstand all the mud. I understand why Palin wouldn't want to be the target of the mudfest but that's why I'm not in politics. I couldn't take it for a day. Sometimes I get tired just blogging about it.
But Palin dove in where she didn't belong, slung some mud herself, then she quit. Then she went fishing.

"I am not a quitter. I am a fighter," Palin told CNN on Monday while on a family fishing trip, on the heels of her Friday bombshell announcement that she was resigning as Alaska's governor.

Palin did her interview standing on the shores of Dillingham, Alaska, wearing waders. She granted 10-minute interviews to CNN and three other news networks Monday.

She resigned because of the tremendous pressure, time and financial burden of a litany of ethics complaints in the past several months, she said. The complaints were without merit and took away from the job she wanted to do for Alaskans, Palin said. Read the whole thing at cnn.com

Palin Claims a Higher Calling

Can you imagine if she was our vice president?
She had no business being on the national stage.
Higher calling. What a bunch of sanctimonious bunk. Please do tell what the higher calling is at least. She just outright quit without saying what she had planned.
If she was smart, she'd forget about the media and tend to her business, like she said she was going to do. If only the media could let her go. From her facebook page:

The response in the main stream media has been most predictable, ironic, and as always, detached from the lives of ordinary Americans who are sick of the “politics of personal destruction”. How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it’s about country. And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make. But every American understands what it takes to make a decision because it’s right for all, including your family. Demconwatch

As if she's an equal to Barack Obama (countless others who leave their positions...). She wants to play with the worldly people, but all she's got is ego and audacity. She doesn't have the character, the wisdom or the smarts to pull it off yet she continues to delude herself. She's verging on creepy.
