    Good job Ben, but I hope you're wrong. I just want that woman to go away!

    Oh, come on she has the right to make it big! Think of all the Hollywood trainwrecks that just passed away or have gone to jail; peolpe we still look up to even after they've done really bizarre stuff.
    In Hollywood she'd actually be BORING!
    If that's why she quit then she's on my fecal roster for sure. Sure the media has beaten her like a rented mule but she took an oath when she took office.
    Good film, Ben!

    LOL! June Cleavage is merely cashing in what few chips she has left to pay her legal bills. Face it, Palin's political career is over. The GOP is not going to forget that McCain was tanked because the voters had absolutely ZERO confidence in a Palin Presidency, in the highly likely event the grim reaper actually did catch up to Gramps. The GOP is done with that woman, no matter how hard the they pretend to publicly suck it graciously up and walk it off with dignity. What's more, no living politician who values his/her future in politics is ever going to risk coupling up with Palin as a running mate. The woman is Dan Quayle in a wig and Coco Channel suit, with fierce Prada pumps, only much dumber. That, and all these lame and shady grifting scams she's deploying to raise needful cash, for which Alaska Law Enforcement is constantly smacking her hands on the news, have worked only to intensify the Justice Department's scrutiny of her ethics, catapulting her embarrassingly from her once haughty perch on the moral high ground.

    Palin has read and reread that memo dated Tuesday, 04NOV08 from the American people making crystal clear that we didn't trust her and Gramps to run down to the local Seven-11 to get us beer and cigarettes, let alone run the United States government. We the beleaguered people have already endured the unchecked and unchallenged pathocracy of one criminally psychotic narcissist with fiendish delusions of granduer and an unreasonable sense of unilateral global entitlement. This time around, America demanded the President possess a demonstratably measurable IQ and an impressive command of the English language. Some appreciation for the rule of law, both foreign and domestic, was also a requirement. And, Sarah conceded that she had none of that, for all of her claims to be ready like Sponge Bob on Day-1.

    So, Palin has simply abandoned her coy and laughable claims to be Presidential to pursue opportunities more in tune with the five bulletpoints on her half-page resume. She's accepted the fact that the Presidency of the United States of America isn't some reality show where an appointed administrative serfdom executes Presidential responsibilities and duties the elected President either has no desire or erudition and skill to so much as attempt, let alone ever complete, despite the horrific achievement of that detrimental feat by Bush43. The American President represents the people of the United States of America to the world. And, God love her, Sarah Palin was never going to be buffed and polished well enough by GOP handlers or anyone else in time to qualify to be an Oval Office house plant by 2012. That poor woman has been in over her head almost every day since leaving the Wasilla City Council. And, I suspect she and her handlers have always known that.

    Now all she wants is to be out of politics and on TV, doing something that guarantees her pallets of American cash and positive public recognition and respect, all with zero responsibility or accountability. And, why not? Limbaugh is a right wing power broker and king maker, making a butt-load of cash, despite his arguably mediocre radio ratings. And, he's a fat, crass, obtuse, vulgar, obnoxious, petulent, UGLY, mysogenist xenophobic dope fiend who upsets American foreign relations everytime he visits an islandic paradise for the sole purpose of picking out a small boy to fondle! Surely, the former Alaska Gov can command higher ratings, just showing up to hair, wardrobe, and makeup on time everyday. After all, the one-time Miss Congeniality is nothing if not gorgeous and charming, even if she is unfathomably stupid. Trust me, Rupert Murdoch would sell off a valuable asset to generously compensate scholarly teams of subject matter experts to handle all the cerebral heavy lifting needed to make this Alaskan road lizard into something roguishly pretending to be a Rhodes Scholar. It's definitely a far better fit for the embattled communicator than a career in national politcs.

    You people make me laugh! If she's such an idiot, wouldn't you hope, pray, BEG HER to run in 2012? She should be easy to beat! Bring it!

    Maybe you know she could tear the living sh!t out of mostof the liberal limp-wrists you'll put up as "candidates".

    You HOPE she disappears. But she won't. Sarah will be around for YEARS to kick your liberal a$$es! She has legs (both real and political) that you pukes are soooo jealous of! Bwahahahahahahaha!

    Go ahead, make all your pathetic jokes, your cheap shots that end up offending women, and continue to display your disgust for REAL powerful and independant women, (unlike your heroines like Hillary who need a sad excuse for a democrat "man" like Bill to get her anywhere in life).

    Just like the crow you will eat in 2 years when your great messiah is a pariah with poll numbers that will make him WISH he was as popular as EITHER Bush was, you will live to regret your flippant distain for this smart, strong, beautiful, independant woman.

    Anyone here old enough to remeber how unpopular Reagan was in 1988 when he left office? Yet around the world and at home today, Reagan is considered one of the best Presidents in history. Check the polls you love so much.

    Last week, MJ had 5 million less viewers for his funeral than Reagan did for his in 2004.

    Clinton is considered one of the worst around the world. Oh, he may get cheers from the frat boys and wife-cheaters who "wink-wink" and wish they could get away with what slick Willy has and still does, but real men, real husbands, real fathers hold him in contempt as a man and as a so-called "leader". That pathetic mockery of a marriage they have is a perfect example of their liberal hypocrisy.

    And Obama's legacy is destined to be not far behind that pig Clinton.

    You're right, _bob. Palin's going to be with us for a long time, unfortunately as the white trash chick version of Jerry Springer. Plastic Jesus worshipping, gun-totin, tobaccy chawrin, inbred, reactionary, xenophobic lobotomites of every neo-conniving stripe are going fall in under the enthralling spell of this siren's song, a theme which sounds remarkably like the dueling banjoes in Deliverance.

    Queue that chant! Everyone, Sa-rah! Sa-rah! Sa-rah!

    Hollywood is the next stop before become Gov. of California, and of the Hollywood stars that have become Gov. you have a 50% chance of be coming President. She has it all figured out.

    Funny, yes. And, actually quite spot on!!! Wow, someone had to say it-Glad it was Ben.

    Very wise of her. Her finances were depleted with all the bullshit lawsuits filed against her. As a governor - she is subject to a lot of scrutiny - and can not accept $$$ for anything. The idea is to campaign for the republicans to take over both houses in a year - and she is a force to be reconed with. Not a good presidential nominee for 12 - not in my view. But she is extremely popular - as is shown by the leftie retards feeling quite threatened by her. She can campaign around the country, collect money for her speeches (something the governor can't do), and make a lame-dick out of Obummer's final 2 years in the office. That is unless he screws himself and gets impeached for any one of the treasonous acts he is doing with my country!!! So go Sarah - leftards will tremble with ugly hate and bile coming out of their ears - and that will make it that much sweeter!!!

    Keep em coming Ben. Not as priceless as your old tech report spots, but funny nonetheless.

    Good ol Sarah Palin. I'm sure she's a real nice person on a social level, but as a politician she's making it far too easy for the press to eat her alive.

    Has it occurred to anyone yet that yes, even someone with the mind of a child, and dumber than a box of rocks can make it appear that she's now finaly leaving the very office she ran for VP to leave last November,and like, something has actualy changed to make the least difference ? Sarah Palin is one of the most skillful manipulators I have ever seen next to that Russian monk Rasputin who mesmerized the Romanovs before the Bolshevik Revolution. She knows males and females alike will fawn over her, and give her all the media attention she needs to make her fortune. It must be child's play to her to hop from public office to political fundraising to lucrative money making book and speaking engagments, to
    Hollywood "stardumb" to play the suckers. There's one born every minute with a carny & shill to take their money. She fancies herself as the fm Ronald Ray Gun, copying his career path. But when will the suckers wake up and realize they've been had ? That's rhetorical by the way; you needent feel you should respond. Never will they wake up, because the Saracuda is their "dream" Neo Con. And when you're dreaming you can't wake up. If she had some plan to repair the negligent damage Reagan/Bush, Bush/Quale, Dubya/Cheny inflicted on the USA by making their cronies rich at the public's expense.... And especialy some plan to stop the wars without end 1984 ism, and reinvest future American earned wealth back into the health & well being of all
    Americans, especialy the 1 in 6 children who are the poorest and forgotten, then great. But when all the smoke & mirrors clear, she's just another cheap, sleezy, opportunist ,political hack who thinks this is the kind of entertainment the American circus deserves like the 40% of the fearful who voted for Dubya's proteges though they knew this country was going down the tubes. She's another "devil take the hindmost" "it's everyone for him/herself" Neo Con. AKA a HUSTLER !!! Hers are the same tired policies that have never worked. Same poison in a different bottle pretending to be the cure. The fugly smear tactics she used in the last election branded her to lack any character & integrity. Her idea of public service is the public is destined to serve her. If consciencious citizens realy think that's something to get excited about, then they're out to lunch or asleep at the wheel. Think on this for a moment: When Americans treat their elected Executives as though they were Rock Stars or Porn Stars, what will whatever pathetic excuse that passes for honest governance become but "Show Biz". And what will you
    Current.com readers who vote become but "groupies"
    Jan for Gore asked; "What is the obsession with her ?"
    Like Paul Newman said in Cool Hand Luke when George Kennedy looked astonished at seeing his poker hand win the bluff: "Sometimes all you need to win is to have nothin' in your hand if you play it right"
