When Will Sarah Palin Break Her Twitter Silence?
By Robert Paul Reyes
In her final months as governor Sarah Palin was tweeting up a storm, but since she resigned we haven't heard a single tweet from her.
Palin promised to keep in touch with her legion of tea bagging fans via Tweeter and Facebook, they are worried sick about her silence.
I am at a loss to explain Palin's absence from Twitter. The social networking site was tailor made for the grammar-impaired former governor of Alaska, who has trouble stringing two words together. Palin and Twitter (which limits each entry to 140 characters) are a match made in cyber heaven.
Palin may be mute, but the blogosphere is busy speculating over why Palin isn't speaking. Is she too overcome with grief over the failure of her marriage? Google "Sarah Palin divorce scandal", and you will get almost five million hits.
For the record Palin's spokesperson has refuted the divorce rumors, but Palin herself hasn't addressed the controversy.
I would advise Palin to fire off a few tweets to satisfy her fans, and to quell the rumors that her silence has generated.
I want Palin to start tweeting again because her disjointed statements never fail to elicit a laugh. But I can't believe that some folks are patiently waiting to hear from the bimbo.
