Um, did someone give Sarah Palin Mark Sanford’s speech by mistake?

She sure is a maverick, quitting the job Alaskans elected her to do for no apparent reason! I cant wait till she’s president!

I’m kind of sad that Bill O’Reilly had a guest host on the night that Al Franken was officially declared a US Senator, but not to worry–Glenn Beck always brings plenty of crazy to the table:

For someone who complains so much about America’s “victim mentality,” Rush sure plays the victim card a lot. Just sayin’.

Actual audio from today’s shocking (I was expecting craziness, not adultery) presser:

In fact, the adultery admission managed to block out some of the fundamental questions: why not put the lieutenant governor in charge if you’re going to be unreachable, did taxpayers pay for the trip, how awful are you to make your wife lie about you going to see your mistress, etc. Many more shoes to drop, I expect.
