And we thought we heard the last of Sarah Palin.

If only.

The vacuous Governor of Alaska has decided to step down from the position, presumably to make a bid for the White House in 2012.

Who can forget those moments of sheer banality - foreign policy based on being able to see Russia across the Bering Strait, not answering any question, avoid the press.

While she did provide John McCain with a brief boost, she certainly cannot be accused of bringing a high IQ to the presidential campaign.

But the manner in which she suddenly announced her resignation caught Republicans off guard. A little impetuous, perhaps?

While she may spend the next three years giving speeches, courting the donors, building a team, mounting a campaign, there is little to work with. Prepare for a lot of noise. Empty vessels make most.
