Attack of the Crazy GOP Governors

By Zamboni

Boy, are the right-wing nutjobs over at Free Republic unhappy and confused. Their darling, Sarah Palin, is unexpectedly resigning as Alaska Governor.

We cats are just confused. But some thoughts have immediately sprung to mind.

Theory #1: Another shoe is about to drop, either from Vanity Fair or CBS News or from her late, unlamented colleagues from the McCain campaign. Goodness, what could it be? That Levi Johnston is the real father of Trig?

Theory #2: Somebody has offered her a lucrative business deal — either a talk show on FOX (watch your back, Mike Huckabee) or a Cheney-funded, anti-energy-independence think tank to head up — and she desperately needs to make some money.

Theory #3: She's going to spend all her time traveling the country, raising campaign funds for Republicans and, ultimately, running for President in 2012. This is the conventional take which we cats can't help but notice is getting kind of shot down thanks to her strange, rambling demeanor at her announcement today.

Because we're dealing with a serious personality disorder here, we cats will not attempt to make a prediction. But we think there's a 50-50 chance that between now and July 26, Sarah Palin will say, "Never mind." Meanwhile, will somebody please get Lt. Governor Sean Parnell a Valium?

UPDATE: When in doubt, go back to Alaska. Here's the latest wrinkle, reported by The Anchorage Daily News. Did local stuff just catch up with this awful Palin person? And who in the media will point out that Bill Clinton was the origin of the phrase, "the politics of personal destruction"? We cats are not holding our breath.
