This is the link to Sarah Palin’s resignation speech. Trust me when I say that having graduated from high school in the mid 1960’s I was exposed to many people who imbibed and did my share of listening to stoners ramble – stoners who now it appears - made more sense than this video clip.
My gut says our queen of misdirection is hiding something. Something so big she’s willing to sacrifice her tiara. I mean title. (No, really, I mean tiara.) Perhaps there’s an ethics complaint that can’t be spirited away as easily as the first 13. Or perhaps the truth about her bizarre delivery last April is about to step into the light. Well whatever it is, I’m certain it has nothing to do with the gibberish in this video.
One thing bothers me above all else in the ludicrous diatribe above – when folks photo-shopped the shot of her holding a bub, replacing the bub’s face with photos of David Letterman or George Bush – I can’t think of a single person who was ridiculing baby Trig, can you? I didn’t think so. Her self-righteous claim of people disrespecting her child are as absurd as she.
Pretty much, everyone I know who played with that photo was ridiculing her.

I’m the same vintage as you, and I too spent many hours listening to the ramblings of stoners during my uni days. You just reminded me how boring they were, hahaha. I agree there are similarities with SP’s ramblings. I listened this morning to what she had to say and was desperately trying to get a thread or a “something” to extract meaning – but unfortunately I couldn’t find anything. Sounded to me as though it was done on the run and it was all of Sarah’s own work – and very staged. There must be something momentous coming out because the idea of Sarah resigning doesn’t sit well with me. It isn’t consistent with her.

Big money is my bet. That speech was pure bs.
Either a big money scandal is coming her way, or she has been promised big money if she quits her day job and becomes a talking head/ professional rabble-rouser.
Visualizing her being led away in her orange jumpsuit for having her hand in the wrong cookie-jar.
SP has always been able to throw up a lot of smoke and glitter when it comes to people, but it is harder to “spin” a spreadsheet.

My gut also tells me that Palin is hiding something.

Totally agree; nobody was making fun of Trig. Anybody with a brain knows that the photoshoppers were making a statement about Sarah, not her grandchild.
I also agree that the most likely explanation of her resignation is that she had a choice to resign or to be impeached–over what exactly I have no clue, but I can certainly think of quite a few things it could be.

I’m with ‘ya in the age thing. This is nuts…

Gotta agree–her outrage over the insult to Trig was bizarre and misdirected. We were all making fun of HER. And I LOVED the over-the-top religious imagery of her response. I loved it so much that I made my very own photoshopped picture: take a look, if you like:
