Quitters stick to it. Winners quit.

Thanks to TPM for the headline.

"Life is too short to compromise time and resources... it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: "Sit down and shut up", but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out." - Sarah Palin explaining how she quit so she can more effectively represent her ideas.

You know, because it's easier to influence government from the outside. Look at how influential I am. And look at how much more ex-Presidents like Clinton and both Bushes have accomplished, legislatively and governmentally, since they left office.

It would seem to me that the easy path - if one feels beset on all sides by adversaries - would BE to quit. Sticking it out as per your government and electoral mandate, would be the hard path.

I can't decide if this is a sulk on her part, or a 2-part persecution complex. Blame the liberal media (and Letterman) and suck up to the Robertson Wing with a crucifixion complex - notice how she went back and edited herself from "thinking hard" to "thinking and praying hard" during the press conference.

Several thoughts here.... This is a woman who harbored ambitions for the Presidency and she can't handle the scrutiny of being a governor and a candidate? What did she think it would be like in office? She complains about the nastiness? Does she remember the shit she herself has heaped on Obama, as recently as last week? Muslim Manchurian Candidate, socialist, destroyer of the American way of life. Of course, she professed today to not like the politics of personal destruction. She practiced it well though.

Max Blumental reports on The Daily Beast that Sarah Palin may have quit her job today because she was trying to avert a major, yet-to-be-disclosed corruption scandal. The gist of the rumor is that an Alaska building company called Spenard Building Supplies (SBS) was awarded a contract by Palin to build a hockey arena in Wasilla, AK, and in return, SBS helped construct Palin’s home.

That might hurt.

And this rambling piece of nonsense goes in the WTF Hall Of Fame.
