Caribou Barbie calls it quits.
Yeah, hard to believe that Sarah Palin, of all people, is tired of the spotlight. I'd believe the bit about her doing it to shield her family from "all the negativity," but she's pimped her children more thoroughly than anyone this side of the Lohans. I'd believe the bit that she's doing this to get out on the trail in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina a bit early, but quitting an elected post 18 months before your term ends isn't likely to win anyone support, anywhere.
Which leads me to believe that some of the crap thrown against the wall is gonna stick. The "other shoe dropping" option is the early leader, so here's some reading from DailyKos (I know, I know - sorry).
Whatever the reason, I'd just like to thank our lucky stars one last time that this person has been a part of our life for the past nine months. I can't remember a crazier politician thrust onto the national stage in my lifetime, and true to form, her outgoing press conference was a thing of rambling, twisted, mind-numbing beauty.
That's something special, isn't it? Just one long, run-on sentence, or perhaps a series of sentence fragments tied together by nothing at all. It really is the closest thing to the Billy Madison scene I've ever witnessed.
Seriously, I hope this is a prelude to a legitimate run in 2012. She's too much fun to be gone. Don't go, Sarah! Don't leave us!

If she entered the primary and started doing well, it would be a hoot watching the right-wing media elite types try and go along with the charade even as they slowly realize what a Palin candidacy would actually mean to the GOP.
