Most gracious explanation: she's completely friggin' insane. That's undeniable, regardless. Time to speculate on what scandals are driving this sudden resignation, as well. (The only decent rationale I can imagine would be a huge new health problem, for herself or a family member. But then, you'd have to mention that in your speech, wouldn't you? That is, if you're not completely friggin' insane.) Take this as an opportunity to comment with unsupportable supposition and outrageous ideas as to what is driving this latest move by almost-former Governor Palin.
Nevertheless, I have to admit that there is a certain, uh, genius, to having the gall to say that not resigning would be the quitter's way out. Really, she said that:
Life is too short to compromise time and resources... it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: "Sit down and shut up", but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out. And a problem in our country today is apathy. It would be apathetic to just hunker down and "go with the flow."
Perhaps the genius is actually in the confidence that the wingnuts will buy it.
To quote one of my Republican law partners who likes to pretend to be moderate: "McCain could have done worse." Yeah. (Honestly, I agree with that; given McCain's lack of judgement and his choices in the Republican party, he actually could have done worse; it just may have not been as blisteringly obvious.)
