Dick Cheney (file) and Sarah Palin (file)
Even Dick Cheney’s, like, WTF Sarah Palin. Why did you quit?
During an appearance today on Laura Ingraham's radio show to promote his new book, Dick Cheney was asked whether Sarah Palin had what it takes to hold to the office of vice president.
"You do need to have a thick skin. You’ll be the subject of a lot of criticism," said Cheney. He added, "I've never gotten around the question of her having left the governorship of Alaska midterm. I've never heard that adequately explained."
If you recall, Palin walked off the job as Alaska governor in 2009. She repeatedly cited not wanting "politics as usual" as one reason for stepping down.
Her current political ambitions remain puzzling, even for her mega fans.
Palin plans to speak at a tea party rally in Indianola, Iowa on Saturday.

We do not need Miss Sarah in the White House. That is the People's House and we would not like having to pay to go in. With her greediness and her penchant for stinginess we would have to make money like the greedy wealthy in order to visit the WH.
Ms. Palin's all about the$$$$....She knows that she'll never be Prez, but she'll surely take a bunch a fools cheddar to the BANK!!!! KEEP DRINKING THAT 'TEA' FOOLS!!!
Thats it in a nutshell. She's fleecing her flock and they are to ignorant to realize it. Besides being an attention whore. The heads of the Grand Obstuctionist Party ie Rove and cheney know she is making them look like a bunch of morons. Very satisfying to watch them eat each other.
I don't know why anyone is surprised that Palin quit the governorship. She's quit everything she's tried.
5 colleges; beauty competitions; a career as a sportscaster
She got pregnant, got married and quit being a parent (right Bristol?).
Palin, lifted from a life of relative obscurity by war hero John McCain, realized that if she didn't cash in quickly, she'd lose out on millions of dollars. In her speech she said something like to not quit would make her a quitter, and only dead fish go with the flow. Not exactly on the level of Churchill's "finest hour" speech. She has promoted herself very cleverly. Every time she is criticized she blames the "lame-stream media" yet she manages to keep herself, and her reality TV family in the media almost every day. By the way, there are a lot of really poor people up in Alaska. Has she used any of her millions to help any of her former constituents?
Palin is one of the most clever self-promoters in history. She knew that she had to get out of town before the clock struck midnight on her fame, or she would go back to being an obscure politician/ hockey mom. So she gave a speech in which she said something like to not quit would make her a quitter,and only dead fish go with the flow. Not exactly on a par with Churchill's finest hour speech, or FDR's War Message. There are a lot of poor people up in her home state. I wonder if she has used any of her millions to help them. Do ya' think?
Sorry there are two almost identical messages posted. I thought the first one was lost somehow.
Cheney does get it. He is lying about it. Cheney invaded an entire country under false pretenses for money. Palin only quit a job for money. Big difference in the two. I don't like Palin, but I can't call her heartless or a demon.
Sarah is a ditz and will never get elected to the Whitehouse, but Cheney is SATAN. Easily the MOST EVIL MAN ever to hold high office in America. He was responsible for the war in Iraq which saw more than 100,000 civilian Iraqis and 4,000+ US servicemen and servicewomen killed. All for money [halliburton war contracts]. Cheney=torture, greed, lies, corruption, etc...He's just as bad as Saddam, Noriega, Gadhafi, Shah if Iran, and any other war criminal of the last 50 years. I don't believe in hell, but if there is one Cheney is well on his way.
We never have to worry about Sarah Pallin in the White House. The People of the US already knows her track record and won't elect her.
mu husband said it best -
she's the high school tease.... sure we'll do it .... but I have to get ready first... yes - I'm gonna take my panties off - just be patient..... first I'm gonna strut around in my heels for you a little bit .... then we'll do a little smooching.... then I'll show you my t***ies .... then I'll take my panties off.... just be patient....
they can keep a hormonal teenager's attention forever....
at my high school - we called them 'professional virgins' ....
ALL TALK AND NO ACTION!!!
She wants to be a movie star...but it's not happening..its a ME ME WORLD for her.....she should stay home and be a MOM like she says she is......not a circus act going parading around America; getting rich on poor uninformed people....playing games with peoples minds...its not a game.. SO HOME!
According to Todd, they had bills to pay and kids to feed.
What the citizens need to read are the Wikipedia writeups on Perry, Cheny and Palin.
sister Sara is a grifter, a carnival barker and a delusional ,self-promoting hypocrite, who has fooled gullible, low-information people repeatedly, mostly because she is telegenic, like Michele Bachmann. Are RepubliCons so superficial, or is the reality of a black man in the White House so upsetting, that they would settle for any empty suit or empty skirt? President Obama is an intelligent, well-educated, hard workin person, but tries too hard to get the T/publicans on his side, it will never happen. He needs to be more FDR and lead, "welcome their hate", while he does what is necessary to create jobs. Obama/Biden 2012.
dam Dick even you can figure that out
a: she was not qualified
B: was way to much work
C: its about and all has been about MONEY!!!
Honey! look at all that money we can make.$10,000 a speech, WOW! you can even charge$35 for your signature, Hell fire! we'll get rich and I want have to run this state anymore.
