Why is Palin resigning as Alaska Governor?

By noreply@blogger.com (John Coby)

Ok. lets see. What could possibly make Sarah Palin the darling of the republican party to resign as the governor? Here is some ideas:

  1. A sex scandal is brewing and she doesn't want to tarnish the "family values" nametag of the republican party. (Sorry Sarah, but you are too late)
  2. Levy knocked up another one of her kids. (little bastard. Last time he will be invited to stand on the stage of the republican national convention!)
  3. She wants to donate time to planned parenthood. (might learn something)
  4. She wants to spend more time with her family. (uh-huh)
  5. She thinks she has a chance at winning the republican party beauty pageant or the nomination for President.

More emails from Gov. Mark Sanford

By noreply@blogger.com (John Coby)

Newt has entered the room.
Ensign has entered the room.
Craig has entered the room.

Newt: Here!

Ensign: Me too!

Craig: I am not gay.

Vitter has entered the room.
Vitter: I did her!

Sanford: Thanks for coming. As you know I have sinned, got caught, and tried to cover it up. Damnit. I am screwed. Any advice?

Newt: Dont worry about it. Take a few years off, then run for President.

Mike Levy Declines Run for Mayor of Austin

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

It appears that BOR's Open Letter to potential candidates for Austin municipal office is 2 for 2 in the answer being "not running". Sarah Coppola of the Statesman breaks the news that former Texas Monthly Publisher Mike Levy will not run for Mayor of Austin this year.
Levy said that after extensive research, polling and one-on-one talks with voters, he concluded that he wanted to run and could win the May 9 election. But family considerations, intensified by the recent death of his 94-year-old mother, Florence Ruth, changed his mind.

"I simply cannot make the commitment at this time to run and win, and to serve effectively," he said in a statement.
