Sarah Palin, who's stayed clear of the MSM since announcing she'd leave office, has kept up her online presence. Her latest Twitter:

Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, who's emerged as one of Sarah Palin's highest profile conservative boosters, defended the Alaska governor's decision to step down today in a panel appearance on "Fox News Sunday," and compared her level of experience to that of Barack Obama, who served less that one full term in the Senate before being elected president.
