Palin Theories

The word most used to describe Palin's press conference yesterday was "breathless". She sped through her little speech like a student with too much Adderal in her system. Last night at a dinner party the theories ranged between two poles. On one side was the thought that the emails about to come out in one of the corruption lawsuits would be truly embarrassing. On the other pole is the theory that her speakers agent has told her how much money she could earn in the next 18 months if she wasn't tied to the Alaska Governor's mansion, and the thought of making a killing while she was still in her Andy Warhol "15 minutes" was too much for her and Todd to pass up.

Either way, despite the hopes of Bill Kristol, the whole resignation speech didn't do her a bit of good. She just seems like one more nutty, impulsive Republican governor. Mitt Romney is enjoying his breakfast this morning.
