The Velvet Blog takes yet another stab at predicting the future

William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard and an outspoken Palin defender, acknowledged Palin’s [resignation] was “an enormous gamble” but said it could prove smart.

“Now she can do her book, give speeches, travel the country and the world, campaign for others, meet people, get more educated on the issues--and without being criticized for neglecting her duties in Alaska,” said Kristol.

July 15, 2009. Sarah Palin appears on Hannity's show, pulls out an endangered sea turtle from her Prada handbag, and guts and eats it on camera.

William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard and an outspoken Palin defender, acknowledged Palin’s endangered-turtle eating was “an enormous gamble” but said it could prove smart. "I've got to hand it to her. Not many politicians would have gambled with her audience's sympathies like that. It simply makes her look more like the kind of person who can make the tough decisions our nation faces."

Aug. 17, 2009. Sarah Palin appears at a press conference wearing a tin-foil hat and talks about the alien encampment she can see from her house.
William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard and an outspoken Palin defender, acknowledged Palin’s alien-watching and fashion choices were “an enormous gamble” but said it could prove smart. "Why isn't Obama wearing a tin-foil hat? Not very presidential."

Jan. 15, 2010. Sarah Palin appears as a guest judge on American Idol. She scalps Paula Abdul, and plops Abdul's hair extensions of top of her own head and tells first contestant, "You are an inspiration! I'd like stuff you in the trunk of my SUV, bring you up to the tundra, and have you sing for the bears. Then I'd like to shoot the bears and offer their entrails to you."
William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard and an outspoken Palin defender, acknowledged Palin’s American Idol appearance as “an enormous gamble” but said it could prove smart. "That singer's take on 'I Will Always Love You' brought tears to my eyes. That Palin would drive a contestant all the way to Alaska just to sing to bears before sacrificing them moved me deeply, just as it would any red-blooded American."

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Hmmm. I was expecting your Palin post would be something like "If sock monkeys resigned as governor of Alaska."

But this is good, too.

If loving me is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Oh my God,you are too damn funny!

And what, WHAT has Sarah done that is so bad she's had to resign? What is going to emerge from the muck? Or has she simply lost the plot?
