Here's the latest on the Susan G. Komen debacle (the most stunning act of public self-immolation since this guy's in 1963). Anti-choice senior VP for public policy Karen Handel has resigned in a huff.
Of course, Handel is claiming that none of the Komen-Planned Parenthood disaster was political — when her quitting completely underscores the fact that it was.
Perhaps the SGK board decided someone had to take the fall for all this. They couldn't very well fire their founder, could they? (And Ari Fleischer might not have been a big-enough sacrifice — although any sane person would urge Komen to cut him loose, pronto.)
Or maybe not. Maybe they really are that stupid, and were bumbling around with a can of gasoline and a Zippo lighter for days until Handel decided to go all martyr-y on them. Who knows? However it happened, we're looking forward to reading what Handel's good friend Sarah Palin's ghost writer will have to say on her Facebook page.
This story is far from done. We cats urge any journalists looking for juicy follow-ups to start digging into Komen's 990 forms. What a treasure trove of information must await!
