Palin Resigns

I wonder what comes next. I suppose she'd accomplished her main objective--the renegotiated agreement over oil.

One fascinating thing about her was how intensely she was hated, and how hypocritically. It wasn't merely political--quite a number of conservatives indulged in the most amazing nonsense. There is something about her that aroused a gut level tribal hatred.

She spoke of and others confirm systematic legal harassment. I wonder if this was unique, or if high-level politicians surround themselves with legal hedges to forestall this kind of thing. Bad news either way; the former probably and the latter clearly on the road to oligarchy.
