I’m from the great state of Alaska, and live in the capitol city (I can see her empty house from where I’m sitting and typing right now). We are all pleased at the news that she resigned. We just celebrated our state’s 50th year of statehood and she was here in Juneau and didn’t even bother going to the reenactment of statehood. That says a lot of her bizarre behavior. And Trent, please come visit our beautiful state sometime. There’s lots of great fishing and hiking. Plus it’s 87 degrees right now!

Why isn’t this HEADLINE news! And such great news it is!

There’s got to be more to the story and I can’t wait to hear it.

She quit to run for prez? Why so early? Why look like a quitter?

She quit because of the publicity and how it was hurting her family? Her publicity is dying down and she has always courted the media, even when she looked stupid for it.

She quit because of scandal? Um, wouldn’t it be better to stay in office and defend yourself?

She quit because she wanted to do what’s best for Alaska? Um, why ever run in the first place or why not quit back when running for VP?

Something smells fishy…..

What a coward waiting until the 4th of July when everyone is on vacation or out celebrating our great nation to announce that she is peacing out. I smell something fishy. And as a female, I don’t care if our first female president or VP is Republican. I just hope she is more intellegent and has a more open mind than Palin.

Trent — I commend you for sticking to your guns unlike other bloggers. And to those who have come to the site to attack him…there are plenty of other sources to go to if you are insulted by his opinions (which is just insane seeing as that is one of the many rights that we celebrate every 4th).

thank you Trent. I don’t understand what her followers see in her, and they’ll shoot down anyone who calls her as they see her, as we saw with Letterman. Come on, Letterman’s been on TV since Palin was in middle school, he has the upper hand. I remember Palin fans were attacking Grace Jones some months back when she called Palin an insult to feminism. Grace Jones is a true diva and an ultimate gay icon, the same gay men who’ll bow down to Grace wouldn’t cross the street to save Sarah’s life if the opportunity came about. After all, if you say that gays are a cancer to society and that AIDS was created as a way to get rid of us, you don’t deserve to have us save your life. You made your bed when you chose to hate us.

@Me — While you find my enthusiasm humorous, I find Mrs. Palin’s attempts at furthering her political ends humorous. I am very happy for the people of Alaska because they will mostly likely never allow a quitter like her anywhere near another political office ever again. I’m also happy for the US because Palin continues to show just how unqualified she is for any national political office. Her followers love her to death, which is fine, but the vast majority of people with any sense in this country see her for what she really is.

I find your enthusiasm for her resignation humorous when it just means she’s planning on extending her reach beyond Alaska once again…at least in Alaska she is contained. And seriously, have you ever been to Alaska? Yes it’s geographically beautiful but let’s not exaggerate it’s greatness. I think they still believe the earth is flat and use leeches to cure disease.

@ Lilliah – I completely agree with your statement. It seems everyone wants instant fixes for problems that have been forming over the last several years, because of greedy people.

@Trent – as a avid follower of your blog, I whole-heartedly apologize for the hatred that has been spewed on this post. It seems that the very “conservative americans” are forgetting the major part of the american constitution FREEDOM OF SPEECH. I personally think that these conservative people need to remember when they are bashing yours or anyone else’s lifestyle that the bible that they love to quote states that there is supposed to be a separation of church and state. And while they may not choose to follow another’s lifestyle they can be respectful that the person has the right of choice. As for Sarah Palin and President Obama, I am not a ‘FAN’ of politicians, however, I do believe that a person should be measured by their actions and who they are. Sarah Palin is not the kind of person I would trust to keep a political office for more than she feels she can get from it. And as it has only been the first 6 months, I believe people should let the president do his job before complaining.

And at people that say they hate President Obama, doesn’t that technically make you anti-american as he is the current commander-in-chief of the country and Leader of the Nation? Besides you don’t even know the man personally to truly decide if you hate him. That would be like me saying I hate … Dick Chaney and he has never shot me in the face.

Ask yourself this: Do you really want someone in office who believes in and prays against WITCHERY??

I don’t understand why people are up in arms because Trent detests Sarah Palin. Don’t let gender deceive you (since some people think gay men blindly idolize everything female), Sarah Palin is one of those stereotypes of a right-winger who believes that AIDS was created to rid the world gay people. She is not an ally to the community and it’s funny that people get upset because gay people don’t treat her as a diva. Why should we? She thinks we’re all going to hell and doesn’t want our vote anyways. I still find it laughable that the Republican party figured that all of the disgruntled Hilary voters would switch to McCain just because Palin’s a woman. Palin doesn’t even deserve Hilary’s scraps.

Oh my goodness people. All this name calling and belittling is ridiculous. I am a preschool teacher and I swear some of my preschoolers act more mature than about 95% of people that have posted on this post. Y’all are just trying to make each other mad.

Pro-Palin people- Why get so worked up? Why do you really care what a man who writes blogs for a living thinks about Palin? I am sure Palin doesn’t a bit what Trent thinks of her. Why should you? Everyone is entitled to their opinion. That is what makes out country so great!

Anti-Plain people- It really isn’t very classy or dignified to say such horrible things about someone that you have never met. You are just a few pieces to a puzzle. Remember that.

Trent- Just had to throw in that I love your blog. :)

Lets put aside our differences for one day people! It is July 4th for pete’s sake.
