Jul. 5th, 2009 08:21 amSarah Palin quit her governor's seat over the weekend. There was some happy talk that she was getting out of politics altogether, that she finally realized that she has no business assuming a leadership post, and she needed to get out of the over-heated kitchen. But it has only become clearer that she actually wants to focus exclusively on running for president. As she puts it, she has "a higher calling". So did Damien.
I wonder if she picked this time to resign in the hopes that the news would be eclipsed by Michael Jackson's death. That would explain why her big announcement was so poorly composed and executed, like something opportunistically rushed. If this is the case, she underestimated our fascination for her, as well as our fears of her, for it still made a big story - and about as strange as much of Michael Jackson's life. The episode certainly motivated Maureen Dowd to bring out her silver quiver to mark the occasion.
