GOP Palin-Basher Liz Trotta: Palin Is Inarticulate and Undereducated-- Maureen Dowd is Smart & Funny
Sick. Liz Trotta, an east coast Palin-hater, attacked Sarah Palin again today. Trotta said Palin Palin has given them lots of raw meat and is "inarticulate and undereducated" and hadn't accomplished anything. Trotta said Palin "brought the attacks on herself."

Sarah Palin's Resignation In A Minute...And A Half (VIDEO)
Watching Sarah Palin's press conference on Friday was like watching a drunk seal trying to land a plane, or in basketball terms (which Sarah prefers) like watching a grade-schooler try to score on Kobe while jabbering inanely. As Gail Collins put it: "When she ran for vice president, she frequently became disjointed and garbled when she departed from her prepared remarks. Now the prepared remarks are incoherent, too." There was something about a fish and sports and a lot about politics and not...

Palin resigns as governor, leaves plans secret - Yahoo! News
WASILLA, Alaska – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin abruptly announced Friday she is resigning from office at the end of the month, a shocking move that rattled the Republican party but left open the possibility she would seek a run for the White House in 2012. Palin, 45, and her staff kept her future plans shrouded in mystery, and it was unclear if the controversial hockey mom would quietly return to private life or begin laying the foundation for a presidential bid. Palin's spokesman, David...

Why Sarah Palin Quit: The Five Best Explanations
Her unhappiness in the job came as no surprise in Alaska.

Sarah Palin's TV prospects
In the days since she announced her resignation as Alaska's governor, Sarah Palin's decision has remained a source of mystery, speculation and debate. But there's little doubt that she'll have a future in the cable news universe, if that's what she desires.
