apparently they never heard ny times v. sullivan.

[Burning Sands, Esq.]

Now her attorney is threatening to sue anyone who publishes "defamatory" stories.  Yup, something's about to break.

Mmmm hmmm...fishy I say.  Fishy.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to early for a 2012 run.  Hell, it's even too early for a 2010 mid-term run.  That makes no sense.  Why resign?  None of the candidates of the 2008 election resigned their positions as they were running for office. And if that is her real reason for resigning from office now this will come back to bite her big time.

I'm with you guys, something fishy is going on here.  We'll soon find out.

Meh. She's just being mavericky. You know, since she's a maverick and all.

Sooooo....[scratching head]....Alaska State then possibly?

Something has got to be up.  This is a weird move, even by Palin standards.
