The front door's open; guess who's there!!
Washington, DC - July 12 (AP): Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she is not only staying in politics once she leaves the governor's office later this month, she's jumping right back into the national fray. Palin tells the Washington Times...
Wait a minute -- I thought the media was supposed to be horrible and evil?? Oh... Rev. Moon's Washington Times. Never mind; break out the softballs, time for batty practice...
... she is eager to campaign for Republicans and independents and even Democrats who share her views... Palin says that Americans are so tired of partisan politics that not even her 20-year-old son is a Republican. Like his father, he is registered as "nonpartisan" in Alaska.
Hold up; "nonpartisan?" Well, in 2002 Mr. Dude apparently did change his party choice from the Alaska Independence Party to unaffiliated, but in September of 2008 the McCain campaign claimed he'd now registered as a Republican. Did he go back to being a registered "nonpartisan," or is there a factual problem somewhere?
Oh, BTW - what about her party affiliation? Does she share the opinion of those many Americans she cites? If so, when is she re-registering as "nonpartisan?" Or is her answer to that question "thaanks, but noh thanks?" Not sure the crack journalists at the Washington Times thought to ask...
...She tells the Washington Times that she and her family had been thinking about her stepping down for months.
So I guess the "four 'yes's' and one 'hell, yeah!'" aren't all that recent.
Yes, it's the Randomizer Bunny, back to beat her drum incessantly.

Office Pool Moment: let's wager on how soon she'll leave that Alaska she loves so much for a new home in the "Lower 48" - you know, somewhere six travel-hours closer to the political mainstream. I'll bet on Minnesota. After all, it has some ancestral ties, colder'n'hell weather, and untamed territory where she can go kill critters; she already has traces of the accent (and we so love those regional accents - think about presidents elected from 1960 on); is part of "the heartland" but isn't so damn far away as Alaska from the coasts and DC; and is the place that elected über-wackjob Michele Bachmann. Sounds inviting? Yew betcha!
