Raw Story has a summary of the reporting on this. There is simply no way that the GOP frontrunner for president is suddenly announcing her resignation, late on a Friday, the day before a major holiday - the traditional times to dump damaging information - if someone didn't confront her with devastating information. So an indictment sounds possible. Though, Palin doesn't strike me as the type to give...

Anderson Cooper makes mincemeat of Sarah Palin's hapless spokesperson Meg Stapleton, who was in New York, not Alaska, at the time of Palin's sudden resignation. If he knew anything about basketball, the exchange might have been even worse for her....

McMahon, Fawcett, Jackson... Ensign, Sanford, Palin? Or is a third GOP sex scandal in as many weeks too much to hope for? Perhaps I'm biased—and I don't mean politically—but from the second Palin announced her resignation I've been thinking this has to be a sex scandal. She's been utterly shameless about everything else—appalling abuses of power, racist political demagoguery, campaign-financed shopping...

On Friday, Sarah Palin announced she was not the best choice for Alaska. For anything. As the fallout from her rambling resignation speech commences — from Palin's threats of litigation to her weird strategy to run for president … maybe — our favorite media snippet so far comes from CNN's main gay Anderson Cooper, who quizzed [...]

Apparently, mastery of the English language is not a requirement for a government job in the State of Alaska: Levi Johnston, who has fallen out with the Palins despite being the father of Palin’s grandson, has claimed the soon-to-be-former governor is anxious to do this. The governor has a book deal that could be worth millions of [...]

Wow, this spokesperson is just as incoherent as Palin. h/t John. Love the faces Anderson.

Filed under: News , Video , Celebrities , Reality-Free This is not a political post. Let me repeat that: this is not a political post . I just thought that Anderson Cooper was pretty funny in this clip from his show, trying to get information from Sarah Palin's spokesperson. She's a bit confusing and spokesperson-ish though, and at one point Cooper really does scratch his head. Permalink | Email this...

Phillip Rucker writes that Sarah Palin resigned to regain control of her own narrative, which has been assailed by ethics violations and partisan snickering over the past year (So a real leader, in the face of that, quits!). So now we'll see how Palin herself can present her message, unencumbered by the pressures of a day job of governing. Here's how that looks : The response in the main stream media...

But not in a good way -- "Palin's had a rough 2009 thus far, drawing headlines often more suitable for Britney Spears than for a serious politician and gracing the covers of more tabloids than news magazines." The postergirl for the terminally stupid, after appearing on every talk show known to man, blames "the media" for covering her. Wehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. In a related story, poor Anderson Cooper seems...

Anderson Cooper interviews Palin's spokesperson, Meg Stapleton and gets a clear, concise pile of gibberish for answers. Something about her trying to save Alaska by resigning kind of makes sense but not in the way I think they want it to. And then a bit about a ...

Anderson Cooper tries to get Mooselini’s spokeswoman to clarify what the hell is going on. It just gets better and better as it goes along. At somepoint, she starts playing virtual basketball and it gets more insane than usual. Bonus points to Coop for maintaining a straight face when confronting bat-shit insanity.

It's a classic technique: dump bad news late in the day on a Friday and hope the news media and the public mostly ignore it. Bonus points if it's a holiday weekend. Double bonus for a summer holiday weekend. We kept one eye on Twitter all day on Friday, waiting for some crazy news to break. Who knew it would be about former VP candidate and Alaska governor Sarah Palin ? In the afternoon, news started...

As the media grappled with Sarah Palin's explanation that she quit the Alaska governor's office because she's not a quitter, CNN host Anderson Cooper had a hilarious exchange with Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton. Stapleton tried to use Palin's analogy that in basketball, a good point guard passes the ball and runs off the court in the middle of the game, never to return. The analogy was completely...
