Quitting Is Serious Business
Apparently Palin has resigned in order to become the Duchess of ButtHurtopia in the Whutistan:
Palin's speech included a cryptic references to "I think much of it had to do with the kids seeing their baby brother Trig mocked by some pretty mean-spirited adults recently." The full story is an awesome tale of Palin vs. the lulz resulting from her trying to silence criticism with bullshit about her kid.
A common form of political mockery is to depict political allies or rivals as parent and child. Some obscure blogger took a photo of Palin and Trig and superimposed the face of Alaskan right wing talk show host Eddie Burke - who was suspended for calling organizers of an anti-Palin rally maggots and broadcasting their home phone numbers on the air. The joke was obvious, and clearly not an attack on her kid.
In response Palin released a statement which began: "Recently we learned of a malicious desecration of a photo of the Governor and baby Trig that has become an iconic representation of a mother's love for a special needs child". Why yes, you can now light a candle under a gold inlaid version of it at the Wasilla Eastern Orthodox Church.
And from there the lulz flowed.
Meanwhile, this Saturday Palin used twitter to threaten legal action against, as Wonkette put it, "MSNBC, the New York Times, the Huffington Post, the Washington Post, individual bloggers in Alaska, and other such anti-Palin forces such as 'rain on your wedding day' and static cling."
Some of the best photoshops are below the cut.

How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it’s about country. And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make. But every American understands what it takes to make a decision because it’s right for all, including your family.Sarah? The "countless others" who stepped down without getting elected or appointed to another office were forced out by scandal or illness. Not because they've decided to echo EvilWillow with "bored now."
