The talking heads of Big Media, that perfidious symbiotic blob that despises the likes of Sarah Palin and what she stands for, largely dismissed her resignation as Alaska governor as the stupid move of a washed up politician.
David Letterman, who last month joked about the statutory rape of Palin’s 14-year old daughter, attempted to stick in another dagger Monday night, saying that Palin, a former Miss Alaska contestant, would be replaced by Miss Congeniality.
He then played a clip of Palin saying, "The world needs more insane governors."
But two articles about the Sarah Palin resignation from credentialed political veterans take different angles toward a different conclusion: Palin is still a major political force.Former Nixon aide Roger Stone compares the Palin move to Richard Nixon’s 1962 moment when, tired of the media attacks, he left politics with the famous words…"You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference."
Six years later Nixon was President.
Former Reagan aide and Gingrich press secretary Tony Blankley, writes that “Professional politicians and political journalists don't waste energy on political corpses. They reserve their energy -- positive or negative -- for viable politicians.”
A Gallup/USA Today poll shows 72% of Republicans are still very likely or somewhat likely to vote for Palin if she runs in 2012.
It certainly looks as if the blob has written a very premature political obituary.
