   Why, when I read Erick Erickson (and that is very infrequently), does the phrase “Zoltan!!” come to mind?

   Sarah Palin is Jar Jar Binks on a good day or any of the interchangeable Sith the rest of the time.

   4. 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. How? Because were she to remain a 2012 contender, she’d keep having stories by anonymous McCain campaign staffers and other 2012 contenders going after her and her family. Take that ambition off the table and it neutralizes a lot of that. So she can focus on candidates and ideas without an ulterior motive focused on 2012.

   Yes, she is highly sought for her ideas.  <choking sounds>
