Palin - a little fun this Thur am

My, my, my, my, my but our friends from the left are hysterical about all this Palin stuff. They can’t contain themselves, poor things. I tried to talk to my pal at the nursery about plant material, but mid sentence - "I’m sick of that Palin! Did you here her rambling quitting speech? Typical." Ok pal, how about selling me some plants? "No. How could a quitter run for president. I’ll never vote for her!" Ok. Maybe she is just sick of having her kids brutalized by your kind, maybe just a TV show? "I’ll never watch that. Never!. I mean it." OK ok. We know, we know. The Palins are just like those trashy folk who pile out of their Tahoe, in the way at the Safeway just as our pal is parking his Volvo. Sure that’s infuriating. Sure it is.

But really now, shame on Palin for resigning. Of course, just like Dole, and Bill Weld, Fred Thompson and Bill Bradley. And of course - no other than Obama. Shame on BO. The notion of leaving an elected office after only two years. (Of course, BO did it on the public’s dime, ever resourceful.) And then there’s Col. George Washington. He quit the Virginia militia. The IBD editorial board, the best in the business, takes us back: Ed Rollins: "Everyone is shocked by this and everyone assumes there's another story. You just don't quit the Virginia militia," notes Ed. "You certainly don't do this as a steppingstone to anything else. This makes George look terribly inept. I think that's one of the questions that people have about him. Is Washington substantive enough to be a serious candidate for anything else? This just doesn't make sense." Or pundit Maureen Dowd, " Georgy Porgy is one nutty puppy," pundit Maureen Dowd wrote on hearing the news. "George wanted everyone to know that he's not having fun in the Virginia militia and people are being mean to him and he doesn't feel like serving anymore." Other journalists in the 13 Colonies agreed that George Washington was finished as a military leader. It was decided beyond a reasonable doubt that Washington by dropping out of the militia had ended what might have been a promising career.
