Palin Quits: "The least functional government Alaska's ever seen"


Plain quits, blaming others for the ethical mess she has left in her own state.

LA Times: "Stiffen your spine to do what's right for Alaskans when the pressure mounts, because you're going to see anti-hunting . . . circuses from Hollywood . . . [who] use Alaska as a fund-raising tool for their anti-2nd-Amendment causes," she said.

"Stand tall, and remind them individual patriots will protect our right to bear arms," she said. "By the way, Hollywood needs to know: We eat, therefore we hunt."

Parnell is expected to continue Palin's efforts to build a new gas pipeline from the North Slope and to maintain control over oil revenue.

Two Democrats have already announced plans to run for governor: State Sen. Hollis French, who locked horns with Palin over the investigation into why she fired her public safety director, and Bob Poe, a longtime public administrator.

"I've worked for four governors, three Democrats and one Republican, and this has been the least functional government Alaska's ever seen," Poe said in an interview. "To the point where the Cabinet took to having meetings on their own, because the governor never called the Cabinet together."
