Babylon Station
Down Below
Today, on Hannity's radio show, I heard him railing about how the "liberal, elite" media was saying that Sarah Palin's resignation was bizarre and unexplainable. (BTW, Sean, a search of Fox watching sites shows that "on Fox News, Charles Krauthammer said it was an “erratic” political announcement. Karl Rove, on Fox, said that he’s “perplexed” by Palin’s decision. Conservative Rich Lowry told Stuart Varney that Palin’s speech was rambling and not persuasive.", so what's the problem?) He went on to say that "no one complained when Rahm Emanuel abandoned his House seat for Obama's Chief of Staff,", and also some other legislators who left for cabinet positions. That's about as much Hannity as I could put up with because it was just too much stupid.
OK, sparky, here's the thing. They left because the sitting/just elected President asked them to in order to serve at a different level. Palin is leaving because she doesn't like how people are talking about her. She's abandoning the job she was elected to, not to do a higher job for the nation, but to...well, we don't know. She's breaking the contract she made with her constituents.
The woman is a nut. (Palin in 2012 to 2014 and 1/2? Is that going to be the big Palin bumper sticker?)
