More Palin
Ah yes, this is clearly going to run and run.
Now that La Palin is talking in a limited way to select media outlets about her resignation and the hot topic, whether she thinks she’ll run for national office in 2010, a whole new raft of contradictory nonsense and non-sequitur rambling has drifted within range of the commenters’ cannons.
The Plum Line notes that she almost says yes she will run, but also says she won’t, while throwing a random ‘fish run’ analogy into the mix. They note that it’s not wholly outside the realm of her apparently insane level of capriciousness that she actually can’t make her mind up from one second to the next.
Sullivan, meanwhile, picks up on her apparent belief that there’s a ‘Department of Law’ in Washington that would divert some of these pesky, frivolous ethics complaints that have been such a distraction from her Gubernatorial duties like opening schools and hosting receptions. I particularly like his conclusion
Maybe she was thinking of the Office of Legal Counsel: you know the lawyers hired by Cheney to let him do whatever he wanted, including the torture of human beings. Maybe she was thinking about her own view of the First Amendment - that it protects politicians from journalists. Or maybe she’s as massively ignorant and completely ga-ga as she seems.
I know which one I’d go with.
EDIT: To add that Sullivan (with the help of the Anchorage Daily News) also deflates the sort-of serious reason that seems to be creeping out for the resignation; that those frivolous ethics complaints were costing the state millions of dollars to defend.
