Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has resigned effective the end of this month. She blames the national media.
Course, they never did get a picture of her actually running — not that I doubt her athleticism or anything, I mean, doubt Sarah? — but some joker of a reporter actually tracked down a whole lot of embarrassing crap and put it all in one place a few days ago.
Gotta figure it made a difference.
Josh Marshall's take:
this clearly happened so quickly that Palin hasn't even had a chance to come up with a coherent cover story for her resignation. Some context is probably helpful here, however. Remember that based on the public record, Palin is a wildly unethical public official, guilty at a minimum of numerous instances of abusing her authority as governor. And a lot of very damaging information has come out about her in the last few days -- though mainly embarrassing information about her character rather than new evidence of bad acts. I would not be surprised if this latest round of revelations shook something else loose that we haven't heard about yet.Oh, and the world needs more Down syndrome babies, not fewer. Oh, and the troops, the troops, the troops.
Oh, point guard, point guard, point guard. Gen. MacAruthur, too. Nice. I am willing to bet that Sarah Palin didn't know who Douglas MacArthur was until she got schooled for the McCain campaign.
Somethin' stinky there. Oh, yeah.
