A Sad Day for Comedians Everywhere (and an opportunity too)... along with an Open Letter to Sarah

Wow just when you thought David Letterman had (sort of) retreated from his jokes involving Alaska Governor Sarah Palin now comes word that she, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is resigning from her office at the end of this month.

A moment of silence please. :(

Okay but why? I tried to follow her press conference but it sounded unscripted and at first thought that maybe the mainstream media was to blame for giving her the talking points. What was it she said (and I'm paraphrasing here)? She didn't want to be considered a lame governor this being her last term in office so she opted to quit instead? How can you leave Sarah just because you thought you were considered a lame duck? That should have crossed your mind during your first term. The thing is that the GOP needs you right now more than ever. This is the perfect point in time NOT to leave. Your Party is in disarray and the male members (pun intended) seem to be embroiled in all sorts of scandals. Our own Governor John Ensign of Nevada confessed to getting too close with one of his staffers and was threatened by the staffer's husband of almost extortion so he had to confess in advance from something he did last year. Then of course South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford who admitted having a mistress in Argentina. I think he was just misunderstood. As I stated before he told his staff (no, not that one) that he was hiking out on the Appalachian Trail but what he really meant to say was that he was out getting some Argentinian tail. It's all about verbage sometimes. And what is it with our governors anyway? So, you see Sarah our country needs you now more than ever so take some time out to write (or get get a ghost writer at the very least) that book, do the lecture circuit and we look forward to seeing you in either the Senatorial election next year or the White House in the race come 2012. This was the first bit of news that everyone covered taking a brief time out from Michael Jackson. I know, I know the mainstream, liberal media sucks and even FOX News is being a little tough on you but in the end you will persevere and have the last laugh girlfriend! And if not we'll pick up the slack from our end and get the laughs going!
