Palin: 'I am not a quitter; I am a fighter'

[northernlights]

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) -- Sarah Palin's not a quitter, she wants the public to know.


.... "I am not a quitter. I am a fighter," Palin told CNN on Monday while on a family fishing trip, on the heels of her Friday bombshell announcement that she was resigning as Alaska's governor....

...She resigned because of the tremendous pressure, time and financial burden of a litany of ethics complaints in the past several months, she said. The complaints were without merit and took away from the job she wanted to do for Alaskans, Palin said....

... Thomas Van Flein said.

The governor needed a break after being "on duty now for two and a half years solid," he said....

....Ethics complaints from critics led to her paying back taxes on state per diem funds she received while living at her home in Wasilla, outside Anchorage; another investigation led to her paying about $8,100 in travel expenses for her children.....

8. Yeah, a fighter -- oops, time to take a dive!

9. Hey, Sarah! Remember this? "She who fights and runs away..."

10. Sort of like fighting fire with fire. She quit so she would not have to be a quitter.

11. she explained eggzachery well why she quit

the eye on the basketball was floating down in a full court volley and therefore she's got a refrigerator magnet that doesn't explain anything to her friends.

Why, oh why, can't you just leave her alone? She just spent the entire day complaining about the media before loading them on boats to go salmon fishing with her and frog, uh todd.
