"...Clear Channel thought she would not stick it out long enough to fulfill a contract."

Oh, yeah, that quitting-in-the-middle-of-the-contract thing. Maybe she would have considered herself a lame-duck talk-show host! :-)

I agree with Alice that Palin's quitting is becoming a pattern, and so is her denial of ever having committed herself to do the things she quits. See the article below (boldface is mine):


From cbs2.com: "SIMI VALLEY (AP) -- Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin won't be visiting the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Southern California next week. Palin had been invited to an August 8 gala at the Simi Valley library honoring the 50th anniversary of a local Republican women's group....

Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton posted a note on Palin's web site Thursday [July 30] saying Palin never promised to attend and won't because of other commitments.

Republican Women Federated spokeswoman Pat Saraceno confirmed Palin's absence and said refunds would be offered, but the event will go on."


...I love that "OTHER commitments" bit -- is it a Freudian slip on Stapleton's part that acknowledges that Palin's attendance WAS one of her commitments, despite the supposed lack of a "promise"?
