Quitting the Quitter: Foreign Policy Advisers Leave Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin has parted ways with the neoconservative foreign policy advisers who had been writing speeches and advising her on policy since she joined the McCain campaign.

An aide to Palin, Tim Crawford, confirmed that Orion Strategies' Randy Scheunemann and Michael Goldfarb are no longer working for her PAC. They parted, both sides said on good terms.

1. And thus the sun sets on Sarah's political career.
Just one more indication that she has relinquished her political aspirations to settle for celebrity.

3. Like tutoring a failing student who doesn't take school seriously
Never reads her assignments, never does her homework and won't listen to anyone because she knows everything.

Sarah Palin was probably the resident Mean Popular Girl in high school.

4. From 0 to 60 to 0...The Race To Obsolence...
This is a very interesting situation...just as Mooselini burst upon the scene, she's now all but become invisible. She lost her throne as queen of the teabaggers to Bachmann and has faded from any mention for a lame GOTB 2012 presidential field. The rats are jumping ship as the money is probably drying up and the future "opportunities" lie in other more serious candidates. A year ago at this time, Grifterella was the front-runner, now she's worn out her welcome with the corporate media and thus with the rushpublican "base".

What's left is a vindictive and angry cartoon of a cartoon...a true 7 day wonder on the 8th day.

8. I read that and thought she had people from "The Onion" working for her...
which would make more sense with someone like Sarah Palin.
