Video: John Ziegler Defends Sarah Palin Resignation

On The O'Reilly Factor:

Ed Morrissey over at HotAir adds this:

John and I had a conversation this afternoon, and he agrees that Palin couldn’t have done this with an eye towards a 2012 presidential run. Like Mark Tapscott, he sees Palin adapting herself for the foreseeable future to non-electoral politics — as an activist and a movement leader.

The Other McCain, Stacy, has these Palin updates:

• Sarah Palin's surprise
• Parable of the Doubting Ace

Make sure you carve out a good chunk of time in reading them, however. Unless, of course, you're the speed reader hired by Waxman to read the cap-and-trade bill:

In any case, as I have mentioned before, Palin attracts throngs of people anywhere she goes like no other politician in this day and age. The frivolous ethics complaints against her, orchestrated by Washington liberals and carried out by their Democrat minions in Alaska, have essentially crippled any possibility of continued governance in Alaska. Thus she resigned to give the state continued progress. The personal attacks on her family were the other reason. The big question now is, will the rabid libs and the MSM back off of her family? Time will tell. My guess is no.

UPDATE: More with Zigler at a podcast of his radio show.
