Palin-Tology

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

To be honest, I never fully got Sarah Palin.   Now all you anti-Obama people can go into your usual rants but I frankly could care less this morning.

However, when she announced she getting out of politics, for now, I was scratching my head because her reasons weren’t adding up.

She complained about the media, what politician doesn’t?  Complaining about the media is like complaining about the weather.  You can talk about it, but there’s nothing you can do about it.

She complained that the ethics investigations she had to fend off were bankrupting her family.  No offense but if Sarah Palin can draw crowds of thousands at the drop of a hat, why would she have trouble raising money for a legal defense fund, absent an Alaska law that makes that impossible?

If she had higher office aspirations, I don’t see how she gets through a field of tough Republican challengers who are going to pounce on the fact that she quit before finishing her term and that if she abandoned the voters of Alaska because life got too tough, then what would she do if she got elected to the Presidency.

Like I said, I’ve nver been a big Palin fan because I thought there much better GOP women candidates who could have run with John McCain, howeve if she’s pulling a Nixon, maybe we won’t have her to kick around anymore.
