Only Dead Fish Go with the Flow

Argh! **Teeth Gnashing** Has everyone had a lobotomy? I'm screaming at FoxNews. Sarah Palin is dropping out because she can't take the heat? Please! This woman ran on the principles of being a true conservative and an efficient and effectual governor. As she stated in her speech today, since her VP campaign, the attention that she has garnered and the sheer volume of attacks that she has endured have eaten up time (not just for her but for her entire staff) and money (not just hers but $2 million of the Alaskan taxpayers money). By no fault of her own, she has been rendered a less effective and efficient governor than she was before she became the superstar that she is today. And true to her word, she is stepping down to allow the Lt. Governor to continue the incredible work that she began 3 years ago. The problem is that we are so used to politicians being these self-serving, incompetent, impotent, spendaholics that when someone like Sarah Palin makes a move that is in the best interest of her constituents, we call it "not being able to take the heat."
