If Palin Can, So Can Sanford

What is it with these Republican Governors? Today, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin decided that, we won’t have Palin to kick around anymore. In a bizarre news conference, she announced that she would not be running for re-election as Governor and she will resign in three weeks on July 26 at the Governor’s picnic. (A picnic? How quaint!) GOP Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will become governor then. There are so many good quotes from Palin today, it’s easier for you to just watch the video yourself. It’s in two parts.

The Deep Denial of Alaska’s GOP

Alaska’s Republicans have my head spinning.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Justice  to ask for a Federal Court to throw out the conviction of former Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) on corruption charges.

Even though the Justice Department asked that the conviction be dropped on a technicality, not because they believed Stevens to be innocent, Stevens and his attorneys claimed victory.

That’s not enough for the Alaska Republican Party and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
