Sarah Palin is resigning as Alaska governor. Here’s her resignation speech, apparently without a prepared text. WTF — is any of this even English? (Update: this video is apparently just the second half of her speech.)

What hidden skeletons are prompting this? She’s been in the news a lot in the last few days — from this in-depth Vanity Fair piece to the cheesecake photos of her in Runner’s World magazine.

May this woman never get anywhere near the Oval Office. By choosing this joke of a politician as his running mate, John McCain demonstrated that he didn’t deserve to be anywhere near it, either.
