Remember? She famously quit Twitter during that same week she also quit her governorship. So good news! Meg Stapleton has likely explained employment and Twitter are not mutually exclusive. This new endeavor contains exactly zero content and already has 11,000 followers, which sounds about right. [SarahPalinUSA via AP]

omg now we will have to hear in thought-farts day and night.
So the quitter quit quitting Twitter? She’ll quit anything, even quitting.
Unfortunately, Sarah, you’ll find that you can’t just unquit your governorship if you try; unlike Michael Jordon or Brett Favre, you can’t just change your mind and come back with a different state.
So Edith from “All in the Family” is Palin’s spokeswoman? Whiskey tango foxtrot?
After reading about her awesome intellect and strong work ethic, I have a feeling that if Sarah Palin was actually electified by the people of US Americuh then she would actually run gubbiment via Twitter.
I’d quit that.
Well thank God that’s over.
JMP:
And what other state would you inflict her on? Texas? Kay Bailey Hutchinson would kick her scrawny butt without batting an eyelash. Mississippi? Leave those folks alone, they have enough problems. How about Minnesota? Let’s watch Palin and Bachmann battle for dominance.
I vote to rename the book “Going Pogue.”

Oh my fucking God. AP used to be a real news org. I cannot believe they wrote a story about this.
I can see Sarah Palin writing the first all-Twitter memoir. I’d try to read it, if she did. I promise I’d go through at least 80 words before I quit. Possibly more, though. But I make no promises.
memzilla: During the election last year, she was noted by teeth-grinding Magoo operatives for “Going Vogue.”
Katydid: That was a long, long time ago. Sad thing is, with the Mooney-run UPI even worse and most local papers replacing their own national & international reporters with AP stories, they’re pretty much the only game in town.
Palin needs to change the title of her book, because that phrase…well, you know by now.
Bristol and Willow
Sitting in a tree
D-r-i-n-k-i-n-g
memzilla: She’d need to either take a ball-peen hammer to her teeth or convert to Hibernianism to make that work.

**Not Safe For Stomach**
Bowdoin: But I thought she didn’t like teh gays; and that’s at least 90% of Madonna’s fanbase. That wouldn’t endear her to the base.
Mr Blifil: you can quit that after I’m done quitting her.
That Web page hurts my eyes! Make Sarah stop being mean to us, Ms. Wonkette!
Terry: Please, no. Minnesota has enough problems, what with falling bridges, lame hotdish and Michele Bachmann.
“already has 11,000 followers…”
Fortunately only 16 of them can read.
Terry: To follow the other un-quitter’s footsteps, it should be New York, but really Jersey, for a year, then Minnesota for a year.
Shit, now this twat will be tweeting her twitty-ass thoughts, and each one will be tweated as “news”.
Way Cool Larry: Roger that Larry. Charlie Uniform November Tango!
Her sequel about adopting a thick Scottish accent to appeal to James Bond fans will be titled, “Going Brogue.”
RT: @SarahPalinUSA You Bitch piece of shit fuck! GO BACK TO WASILLA, Alaska where you fucking BELONG GOOK! #TCOT
JMP:
Give Virginia a turn, too.
hockeymom: Please don’t compare hotdish to Palin or Bachmann. Hotdish leaves a warm, full feeling in my belly. Palin and Bachmann, in contrast to hotdish, make me want to barf.

Palin says she back on Twitter
AP need proofreader.
I wish people like her would communicate exclusively via Twitter. It would make them so much easier to ignore.
Zounds! And Gadzooks!! Arise, brave Knights of Palin, mount ye trusty steeds, and ride, ride madly while horns blare and the sun still shines, towards yon Twitter!! For Lo, a new feed is come unto us, verily, from the Great Palin herself, and she is polished like fine steel or mithril.
How many letters was that?
The only good thing about Palin appearing on Twitter again is the prospect of William Shatner making regular appearances on Conan to read her twit-tweets, thereby continuing to expose what a twat she is.
chascates: I think it is merely missing quotes:
Palin says “she back on Twitter.” ‘She’ refers to Meg. And the lack of “is” is Palin’s way of speaking truth to power.
Terry: Gawd, don’t send her our way. We already got nutbag, secessionist Breck Perry who thinks the only way to win is to tell the rednecks he hates everyone that is darker than the color ecru or eggshell.
badmuthagoose: If she started using Second Life, I could completely ignore her…
For people who don’t have the guts to actually visit her twitter page, the bottom left features a silhouette of a moose and written on the moose are the words, “Go rogue with Sarah!”
Sarah Palin has a moose with a message for America!
That twat has perhaps the single most awful twitpage layout I have ever seen. It is ghastly. On the plus side, you can hit control ++ a few times, as we weak-eyed olds are wont to do, and the background mostly vanishes.
I confess it is tempting to follow her on twitter just to read the stoopidity. I suspect at least half of her “followers” fall into that category.
With the hefty book advance, she was able to hire twitterer. Its rumored to be an Indian girl from Bangalore. I hope she pays all the withholding taxes she should be or there’ll be a ‘gate in her future.
Alas, @SarahPalinUSSR has already been taken.
“penny” for your tweets.
Send her here to New York, the Empire State! She drew a crowd of 20,000 to Auburn last summer to celbrate Seward’s folly, so the upstate wingnuts love her. Plus she’s the only candidate David Paterson could defeat.
If anybody other than her publisher’s PR department set up that account, I will stop shaving my legs and slither to Alaska by ciliary motion to apologize for assuming ole Granny Sarah’s a functional illiterate.
There’s literally nothing on that site except her promise to move away from our coast after thanksgiving. Vapid is the new black.
I think it needs a giant Campbell Brown.
On Sarah’s Facebook page extolling her upcoming book tour, I think these two comments are emblematic of her “followers”……
Yoklada Yager: I am one of your ordered is book, hardly wait! we love you Sarah.
Katherine Carr: Since you will not be in NJ can the book be ordered via mail?
snideinplainsight: All of them, Katie. All of them.
She announced her triumphant return to twitter with a single word tweet
“…also”
thehelveticascenario: Yes, I had to settle for the second rate @SarahPalinPRC
Further justification to ignore both the Twitter and the twat.
Mrs. Palin will have a cable tvs reality show no later than the fall of 2012.
Serious: I have no idea what you are talking about. I refuse to speak Twit
ella: That is the most awesome image in my head ever. Thank you.
As opposed to SarahPalinAfrica.
ella: Rumor has it, it was Ivy Frye, Palinista, Christianist, and Palin babysitter who set up the account. That account has existed, though has not been quite so evilly decorated, for a few months.
Frye is now on the Murdoch gravy train by proxy, so I’d say no apology necessary, although your new method of locomotion might be particularly good for ice and snow conditions.
Twitter is perfect for this tweeting twat.
Tweeters aren’t expected to use correct spelling or grammar, and short, catchy phrases that don’t really make sense are the norm.
Golly gee, Sarah finally found her media.
Katydid: AP’s role as a news organization ended when they became the Bush Administration’s official PR agency. Since they desperately needed a new client, I guess Caribou Barbie is it.
CycloneArmageddon: “… only 16 of them can read” — and only two can spell (Kristol and Van Susteren).
Come here a minute: An Irish accent is referred to in England as a Brogue. A Scots accent is a Burr.
Has she written William Shatner’s next big hit yet?
orly taitz better be one of those 11,000.
also.
I preemptively reported it as spam, because I know that shit will infect my television and internetz when it’s released.
