life really is a picnic for Sarah Palin this wknd. shes got 3 in 3 days, all leading up to her resignation sunday...heading to wasilla now.Palin made a stop at a wasilla picnic tonight and ppl couldnt get enough of her. Side note: the mountains there are amazing!Palin told her hometown she loves them, thanked them. Sort of emotional at times–it was her last public event in Wasilla as governor.

What is it with CNN and Palin?
A new day another Palin story on the ticker!
Palin is a perfect example of a dim witted, Reslug bimbo.
Yep, busy busy busy tweeting away, but doesn't have time to open all the gifts and report them as required. What a loser!
Can she fight for the people without a story published or picture taken of her? I don't hate her, i'm just tired of her news...and its hard to ignore since thats all the news there is; always about her.
Please don't try to make a comeback or something...stupid. Good luck to you and your family.
Hmmmmm......so Sarah thinks she might be more valuable to her party by stepping down as Governor to volunter and go out to fight the good fight. You mean like a community organizer or something??
If she's yesterday's news, why are you still talking about her almost a year later? Things that make you go Hmnnnnnn. Those of us on the right that didn't like Hillary have stopped talking about her last August when she quit. The real news is that America is finally waking up from this love trance with POTUS. Going all in with the stimulus and health care was foolish. His day of reckoning with the American people is coming soon.
Time to scare the doofus liberals Sarah.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
I'm laying good money that Palin now turns into a "community organizer". Ooops I forgot she has already critize that position.
Palin wanted to tweet "FOLLOW JESUS" but decided against it. She's not that dumb!
Enough!! Only you folks in the press can make her somewhat relevant as a news item. Her abilities do not support a significant contribution from her going forward. She will not be a serious subject worthy of positive national coverage. Good luck to her and her dreams, she knows that she can count on our "Tabloid Press" to keep us entertained.
I just wish the media had put Obama under the microscope the way they have with Palin. If they had, Obama wouldn't be President.
If she "is yesterdays news" why are you still avidly reading everyword. Only a true moron would do that.
Alaska's loss is another's headache. Linda at response #1 says it best: "Palin is a perfect example of a dim witted, Reslug bimbo." Maybe Palin wants to increase her foreign policy experience by looking for fly-overs from Russia. She could go get another witch exorcism; that's always a fun thing to do. Why doesn't she understand that she has long ago confirmed the "Peter Principle"? She confirmed it when she was on the city council of Walissa. She was over her head there.
Come on, admit it democrats and lefties, deep down in places you don't want to go, you are terrified that Palin could actually beat Obama, and it scares you to death, otherwise why all the attention,why not just forget about her if it is such a none issue.
I can't understand why the MSM doesn't do a little research to understand this woman. She is a hypocrit, she lies, she cheats and used scrambled English and a bunch of nonsensical words. Now she has her friends that she appointed to lie for her. Please read the Alaska laws and the Ethics Complaints as they stand. You can follow easy just by reading the Alaskan bloggers that print the truth and include web sites of the Alaskan Legislature as proof of what they are saying. If anyone thinks she will fade away they are wrong. The Alaskans have 2 more years to file complaints against her behavior by their own laws. She has been a source of entertainment for too many to allow her to fade away. Many of the Alaskans didn't know the true Sarah Palin until she was the VP candidate. Now they know a lot and I doubt very much if they would vote her into a second term.
Palin has productive party plans, dear folks, after she parted company with a pack of pathetic GOP losers. We can't wait to see what her next wadin' plans are.
okay be gone; given the problems with the media, don't ever call another press conference, do an interview,etc; in other words, don't call us, we will call you!
In honor of America, go away and stop wasting taxpayers money and time.
I wonder if she is turning in the Blackberry? It's probably part of the Governor's property.
Let's face it – when things got tough, Palin turned and quit! We don't need a quitter in the White House!
You Obama lovers claim to be so educated and respectful of others. Anyway, If this woman is as dumb as you all claim she is, then what are you afraid of?
This reminds me...whatever happened to Billy Carter or Dan Quayle???
SHE SHOULD NOT BE using the AK-GOV twitter anymore...anyther hypocrisy.....just like her.
In Honor of America, go away and stop wasting taxpayers time and money. Why in honor of only the soliders that past away is what i dont get? It should be in honor of all that have serviced.
and even more TABLOID NEWS. sort of headlines you see at the check out lane. yeah right. and as always what is the real story. it ain't Palin!
go away Sarah..please..your 15 minutes is over..leave us alone.
