Mere days after bragging about her stamina, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin up and quits. Her hastily organized presser—called on a super-news-dump Friday before a national holiday—coupled with the half-baked logic contained in her farewell, can only leave anyone who gives a rat’s sphincter to start wondering: which of Palin’s ten or twelve pending scandals is the one that has forced her to—as General McArthur didn’t say—“advance in a different direction?”

It certainly made a commenter curious at the oft-Palin-palsy-walsy RedState:

Whoa. Is that what gets you banned these days? Erick, I know it’s been a rough day week fortnight month year three years, but the commenter was stating a desire to read you more, dude! You should be rejoicing in the interest, not recalibrating your thin-skin-o-meter.

Given the timing, the rambling, 18-minute speech, the bad choreography, the animal sounds (no elephants, but loons, geese, ducks, babies—I was waiting for Marlin Perkins to appear with a net), and the shaky quality of Palin’s voice, it would be, as said earlier, irresponsible not to speculate. But don’t take my word, Erick, look to your own reader poll:

Yeah, there certainly is speculation—in his own community—but I guess that makes it no less true that after a rough day week fortnight month year three years, Erick is tired of the attacks.

Oh, and truth, you’re banned.
