Why, governor?

Posted at 12:01 am by Mark Carlson, Herald staff

On our nation's birthday, America demands answers: Why is Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resigning?

The Buzz can think of some possible reasons:

• She needs to carve out some free time to read that long piece about her in the current issue of Vanity Fair.

• She hopes to help ease the Michael Jackson family's pain by knocking that story off the cable news networks for the long weekend.

• Taking federal stimulus money just made her feel dirty.

• She has to help hubby Todd improve their view of Russia by building a second story on their home.

• She decided if she's going to be a true "hockey mom," she needs to move to a state that has an NHL franchise.

• Long stares and suggestive comments directed at her by the editors of the National Review and the Weekly Standard were making her uncomfortable.

• She decided she looked fat in those Runners World photos.

• She's going to take over for Tina Fey on "30 Rock."

• She's off to hike the Appalachian Trail.
