marinessI'm too cynical to be surprised much by politics (despite a tiny ongoing hope that Obama will surprise me and actually live up to his campaign promises on GLBT issues, but, let's face it, that is not looking too promising right now) but I freely admit that I'm surprised that Sarah Palin is resigning as governor of Alaska. My cynical side thinks perhaps this is because 1) a major, major scandal is about to break, 2) she's hoping to run on a platform of even less experience in 2012, or 3) she's figuring that since even Michael Jackson's death couldn't shut South Carolina Governor Sanford up, maybe this will.
ON that note, Governor Sanford, please, if you had any actual affection for your wife, your girlfriend, or the general American population, please, please, please, take this opportunity offered by Governor Palin and just shut up. Politicians sleep around all the time. It's not a career ender. Often they even get to become President or powerful Senators or regulars on Sunday talk shows. Heck, I can't even remember the name of the senator out west who was just caught sleeping with a member of his staff because, you know, whatever. But this is just humiliating.
