Sarah Palin promised it would not be politics as usual, and delivered on ... "the politics of unusual"

By Steve Lombardi

The Peter Principle is the principle that "In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence."

Once again the Republican Party builds a bridge to nowhere. Can you imagine a worse time to announce a resignation; Independence Day weekend. God has the woman no shame or sense of timing. How can a politician think they are ready to run a country when they can't even finish one term as Governor of Alaska? The Republican Party should rename the Gravina Island Bridge the Sarah Palin Pain-in-the-Arse Bridge, to honor the Peter Principle.

THE ALASKA GOVERNOR'S OFFICE IS RUNNING ON EMPTY

Just listen to her resignation speech as she says one thing and does just the opposite. She uses words and slogans of faith, family, service, trust, vision, right path, to secure Alaska to secure America, to contribute to America, responsibly, serve the State, it's a humbling responsibility, promised, showing my independence, we are doing so well, we work tirelessly, we protect – her use of words and terms to instill and inspire confidence in her leadership is in complete contradiction to her quitting the job she was elected to do. She epitomizes the Participation Trophy Syndrome. Where is my trophy; after all I showed up.

AS A REPUBLICAN, IS IT ACCEPTABLE TO THINK?

Let me get this right; as Republicans you're not supposed to vote Democratic because:

• They will run up the deficit.

• They will give away the Treasury.

• They will make the world a less safe place for American.

• They will just add pork to every budget.

• They are spineless weenies who can't fight the tough fight.

• ... And you can't trust them.

And when does this Governor announce her resignation, of all the bloody weekends, on Independence Day weekend while the country is in a recession with rising unemployment, explaining it's to bolster confidence in her abilities. When she speaks it's similar to listening to a teenager explain why they missed curfew.

Alaska can't be that difficult to run. If she is resigning from one of the least populated states with oil revenues being paid to resident citizen while the rest of the country gets a pink slip how can she think through the myriad of complex issues confronting the economy. If she can't run Alaska she isn't capable of running a 7-11 let alone the United States of America.

IT'S NO WONDER WHY COMEDIANS ARE WINNING CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS

Here look at this interview and ask yourself if she's a capable political opponent.

Tina Fey would be a more serious candidate. Whenever Palin speaks I'm left wondering if anyone ever listened to her before putting her in the national spotlight as the VP candidate to McCain. All the major network correspondents who've interviewed Palin end up with their mouths dropped open in utter disbelief as to what she says. Her ideas are illogical. Her speech clipped, rambling and without coherence. As an example how can she on the one hand describe America in a crisis mode and then walk away from governing the State of Alaska. What kind of leadership does that demonstrate? She's not running from the State of Alaska as much as she's running to a state of delusion.

The non-Christian-right who still call themselves Republicans, have to put up with one more Republican Party leader acting contrary to what the party stands for and that forces intelligent, sensible and fiscal conservative voters to question how they can vote Republican. Palin has been a disaster since the first interview. Every time she talks she appears dumber than the last time. This isn't a beauty contest she's in; it's about doing the hard work to run a state without picking fights with everyone who might vote for a Democrat, including Republicans. She seems to strive not on accomplishment but on controversy. She's like Pigpen, wherever she been is a cloud of dust and debris.

Here's my idea about why she's resigning. She's stepping aside because … who cares she's been nothing but a distraction, a disaster and an embarrassing one at that. She makes America appear comically idiotic.

SOMETIMES TO ADD YOU HAVE TO SUBTRACT

She wants a participation trophy for showing up. Her decision is self centered and disregarding of the public she pledged to serve. Her decision is one more nail in her coffin. Only losers want a participation trophy; winners want to win one. She's a disgrace to the party and to women in general. Like I said; good riddance. Maybe they can use her grinding bait on the Deadliest Catch.

Only losers want a participation trophy; winners want to win one.

Let's face facts she promised it would not be politics as usual and she's delivering the politics of unusual. How fitting it is she would follow the bizarre death of Michael Jackson.
