Who's more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows her?

For those who missed it, Sarah Palin, a.k.a. Bible Spice, has stepped down as governor of Alaska. All theories regarding the scandal that's about to break prompting this move happily accepted. I'm not sure she can top Mr. Two Wetsuits and a Dildo, but I've underestimated her before.

Already Erik Son of Erik at RedState seems to have reached peak absurdity, blowing his wingnut load in a single post:

I’ve had this running thought all day, perhaps because I was watching it on TV in HD for the first time, that this is kind of like Ben Kenobi letting Darth Vader strike him down. Palin is not going to run in 2012, but by doing this she can now become Barack Obama’s worst nightmare, and help rebuild the opposition to Obama.

Or it’s like Obi-Wan repeatedly bonking himself on the the head with his own light saber while Vader stands aside and laughs at him.

It turns out that Palin is about to be implicated in Michael Jackson's murder...?

No, what she's going to do is whip up the lunatic fringe into a fine frenzy for a about a year, and then they'll find another Manic Pixie Dream Girl who can actually put together two coherent sentences.

Believing that you can do whatever you set your mind to is not always a smart decision, because not everyone can be counted on to buy into the Joan of Arctic martyrdom shtick. Unless you're Tinkerbell or Green Lantern, willpower just ain't enough.

In the game "Mob Wars," you can punch players in the face ... including yourself ... and inflict damage. The way I read her speech, Sarah Palin has gone to her player profile and clicked "punch in face," thereby inflicting 12 damage upon herself while reassuring herself that now she's a better player than ever.

I pray Americans aren't stupid enough to let her spin this lunatic move to her advantage. Having said that ... I'm not too optimistic. After all, we did just survive eight years of ----.
