Palin to Media: “Quit Making Things Up”

Sarah Palin turned over the governorship reigns in Alaska yesterday, but not before taking a few final jabs at the mainstream media: “So, how about, in honor of the American soldier, you quit making things up” and later, “Our new governor has a very nice family, too, so leave his kids alone.”

And she also blasted Hollywood: “You’re going to see anti-hunting, anti-second amendment circuses from Hollywood and here’s how they do it: they use these delicate, tiny, very talented, celebrity starlets, they use Alaska as a fundraising tool for their anti-second amendment causes.”

Just where on Twitter will Palin be next? @AKGovSarahPalin tweeted her last update yesterday (below), but the Twitterverse can make suggestions for Palin’s new handle at #TheNewPalin.

@AKgovsarahpalin: Last state twitter. Thank you Alaska! I love you. God bless Alaska. God bless the U.S.A.
