Five New York Times reporters piece together the circumstances leading up to Palin's resignation. No huge revelation, just a thousand little ones.

Long story short, McCain made a horrible choice. I hope she does well in the primary.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing about what an absolute trainwreck this woman and everyone associated with her is.

WTF is going on that picture?! She's signing that baby's chest?!!!

Why is Palin smearing sharpie ink and fumes all over that poor baby? Poor thing looks pretty uncomfortable, s/he must have a idiot for a mom.

I thought for a minute she was using Trig as a business card.

She'll become the Ralph Nader of the right---someone who goes out on the stump and whips the Fringe into a righteous frenzy, but can't carry an election and lacks the chops to actually govern.

See, sometimes this sort of thing is just the result of a chain of events, and not the result of some single behind-the-scenes catastrophe.

Reality TV has warped our perceptions.

is she signing a baby corpse in that picture. seriously, unless that kid is laughing uproariously at the exact moment of that shot, it looks like child abuse to me.

Another hit piece on a Christian patriot. Nothing new, but one the liberals will come to regret.

Sarah Barracuda is a the real deal.

Palin '12!

One can only hope the GOP slates Palin as its candidate in 2012. It would represent proof that it no long expects to be taken seriously as a political party.

"Sarah Barracuda is a the real deal."

But really, the point of the piece is that she was utterly frazzled and completely unable to balance her family with the demands of her career -- her Momism with her megalomania. There's nothing "super" about that. It's rather fallibly human instead.

And there's something dunderheaded about a flat-earther co-opting the moniker of a type of fish that's existed for 50 million years.
