Palin Says She’s Not Running

By MICHAEL D. SHEAR

Sarah Palin told a radio talk show host on Wednesday that she would not seek the presidency in 2012, but said that she would still be involved in trying to oust President Obama from the White House.

“Not being a candidate, you are unshackled and able to be even more active,” she said on the Mark Levin Show. “I look forward to using all the tools at my disposal to get the right people in there who have a servants heart.”

7. Her word usage always boggles me.
She has a vocabulary of a 5 year old child.

9. That's what makes her......
so appealing to the FReepers. Basic grunting sounds and primitive sign language are all considered part of her "electability" in their opinions.

2. And Francisco Franco is still dead.
In other words, does anyone think this is news?

3. I'm not running for president either.
Where are the radio, TV and newspapers reporters?

4. Not to bad an eye....Television "news" producers don't do self reflection--ask Jon Mark Karr
remember the live coverage that was Jon Mark Carr -- and the break news that was his flight from the Far East to the States.

Of course, Jon Mark Karr didn't deserve that kind of coverage, and in the end it was all a hozx, but we heard no apologies from the Howie Kurtz's and other media apologists that dedicated so much of the public airways to this utter distraction.

Sarah Palin is the political version of Jon Mark Karr.

5. She's what now, 47 years old?
Think about that. 5 more election cycles until we're done with her. Not running this time doesn't mean not running in the future, and since there isn't a viable female candidate in this cycle, you'll/we'll hear from her again... for 20 more years.

8. Was there ever a doubt?
She's raking in 7 figures a year preaching to her brain-dead choir. Why would she want to take a huge pay cut to get a job she'd just resign from in a year anyway? :shrug:
Besides, there are way too many skeletons in her and her circus-freak-of-a-family's closet (and I mean no disrespect to honorable circus-freaks everywhere). The Press would have a field day reporting on the merry antics of the Palin family.
