Sarah Palin has announced that she is stepping down as governor of Alaska, effective at the end of the month. She didn't take questions from the press - a good idea, given her past performance with reporters - and didn't really speak to why she's made this decision, except to say that she thinks she can be more effective "outside government" and is tired of "political blood sport." Sounds like someone has her own talk show lined up.The timing of the announcement is the curious thing here. July 4th weekend is a notoriously slow news time, and a lot of the top journalists are on vacation. Usually, if you make an announcement around this time, it's because you're trying to sneak it by with as few people noticing as possible. Interesting that Palin would choose to slink away in this manner. Is there some kind of investigation coming up that we don't know about? Did the cops finally find her meth lab?
Did Alex Rodriguez knock up Willow after all?
The funniest thing about this is Palin's line about not wanting to engage in "political blood sport" anymore. Sure Sarah. Until it's time for a presidential run. Phony, phony cunt.
