Sarah Palin is stepping down as governor of Alaska. That headline just screams "Scandal" to me.

The only questions are:

1) Is it a scandal along the lines of "going hiking on the Appalachian trail"?
2) Is it a scandal along the lines of "misappropriated funds for personal gain"?
3) Is it a scandal along the lines of "Minnesota Wide Stance"?

For someone with supposed aspirations to the Big Chair in 2012, she's doing herself a political disservice. It could be that, for some CRAZYTOWN reason that her advisers told her "if you quit, you'll have a better chance to be president" but I can't see that happening unless her political team failed grammar school.

This should be fun.
