The Palin jokes are sure to keep coming, especially now that she has supplied comedians with a fresh supply of fodder from her bizarre resignation announcement. Here's the first batch of what is certain to be a steady new stream of late-night jokes about the soon-to-be former governor:

So the self-important, Obama-a$$-kissing media have made fun of Sarah Palin for not giving a crap about them while they–once again–bend over backwards to cover every move she makes. And of course, all of the brainwashed and lobotomized Obama fans eat it up because it makes them feel smarter than someone else when all the evidence points to the contrary. Where’s the news in that? Yawn.
