I’m sorry, but I don’t buy this for a second. I’ll bet you six bucks and my right nut that Sarah Palin isn’t “giving up.” Unfortunately, we haven’t seen the end of her, not by a long shot. She will either run for another office or will be a correspondant for FoxNews. So don’t lay this guilt trip that it all this pressure was too much for her. The fact of that matter is that being Governor of Alaska just wasn’t big enough for her anymore. Trust me, all this is about attaining MORE power and attempting to get MORE visibility. You will see.
And go ahead and blame the left for attacking her too vehemently. Blame us for being unfair to her. But I would argue that we were not the ones who in 2004 disgracefully and disgustingly tore down a legitimate hero’s war record for political gain. In my opinion, the vitriolic and baseless attacks against Kerry greatly outweigh the cries of hypocrisy and inexperience that were thrown at Palin. So go ahead and throw a pity party for Sarah Palin. I assure you thats exactly what she wants.
”“The Henschel Hs 129 was a World War II German ground attack aircraf. Its nickname, the Panzerknacker (tank cracker), is a deliberate pun - in German, it also means “safe cracker”.
One of the final variants was the B-3, in which a gigantic 75 mm (2.95 in) gun from the Panzer IV tank was installed. This meant that the aircraft was able to knock out any tank in the world, but the weight slowed the already poor performance of the plane to barely flyable.
This variant, along with the others, never really had a chance to prove themselves in any way - the aircraft were produced only in small numbers and deployed during a time when the Luftwaffe was unable to protect them from attack.”
