What the ever-loving WTF?

Palin stepping down as governor, effective July 26.

WHUT.

The only problem is that now we're stuck with Parnell, who I used to think would be worse, but I'm starting to think that ANYTHING is a step up from what we have now. Y'know, I defended this idiot when she was first tapped for McCain's running mate. All she's done ever since is prove that she's even more of a complete chowderhead than the liberal blogosphere originally thought she was, and make Alaskan politics into a national laughingstock instead of just the statewide laughingstock that it used to be.

So long, Sarah. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Well, that was a protracted flounce she did there.

Weird, weird lady. You know, I never used to be all that excited about Ted Kulongoski, but honestly, he seems to keep his pants on and he doesn't get into fights in the national news and right now that sort of thing looks pretty good, by comparison!

hahaha, you're right, it *is* a flounce! Actually, a lot of the last year or so of Palin has looked a lot like some of the wackier things that fandom gets up to.

She is very, very odd. I've just been reading the Vanity Fair article on her, which makes sense of a few things I'd been wondering about.

I think I'll welcome sinking back into statewide obscurity once the furor dies down. I hope.

When Trig was born, Palin wrote an e-mail letter to friends and relatives, describing the belated news of her pregnancy and detailing Trig’s condition; she wrote the e-mail not in her own name but in God’s, and signed it “Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.”

Next thing you know, she'll be married on the astral plane.
