Ah, yes, another instance of the immortal words of Special Agent Dale Cooper can be applied today. (To wit – When two separate evens occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry we must always pay strict attention.)
And so Alaska Govenor Sarah Palin announced today she was resigning her position.
Said Palin:
This decision came after much consideration. I really don’t want to disappoint anyone with this announcement.
There has been speculation that she would seek to be the Republican Party’s presidential candidate in 2012. By leaving office early, Ms. Palin will be able to travel around the country more freely and not be constrained by the duties and responsibilities of being a governor.
Mary Matalin called Ms. Palin’s move brilliant and seconded the notion that the governor’s decision was smart in the sense that it will free her up, like Mitt Romney, to travel the country to make inroads with potential voters.
So, it makes one wonder…in my alternate universe – is there a looming senator-ship in a financially troubled state ahead? Is THAT the REAL reason for Beauregard Van Horne’s decision?
Hmmmmm…seems very likely is all I’m sayin’.
