A new scandal or buttoning up for 2010 ? Whatever it is, we needed an MJ diversion.

Rumors fly about Palin’s ‘iceberg scandal’

Published: July 3, 2009
Updated 6 minutes ago

In the wake of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s surprise resignation on Friday, rumors are beginning to circulate that she might have acted in anticipation of a previously unsuspected scandal being revealed.

Alaskan blogger Shannyn Moore suggested at Huffington Post that “rumors of an ‘iceberg scandal’ have been circulating” even before today’s announcement.

“Resignation is certainly out of character for Sarah Palin,” Moore noted. “Senator Mark Begich had a meeting with Sarah Palin two days ago with no mention of her leaving office. Palin’s press secretary, David Murrow had posted on his Facebook page Wednesday, ‘David Murrow is considering life’s ironies.’ He was hired less than a month ago. Yesterday he wrote, ‘There’s gonna be some fireworks this weekend!’”

Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo similarly suggested, “Remember that based on the public record, Palin is a wildly unethical public official, guilty at a minimum of numerous instances of abusing her authority as governor. And a lot of very damaging information has come out about her in the last few days — though mainly embarrassing information about her character rather than new evidence of bad acts. I would not be surprised if this latest round of revelations shook something else loose that we haven’t heard about yet.”

Moore later spoke by phone with BradBlog’s Brad Friedman and told him that “Palin is ‘resigning as part of damage control’ due to a scandal this is ‘not of a family nature.’”

“The governor would not be able to continue her job when it comes out,” Moore told Friedman. “Why would Mark Sanford not resign, but Sarah Palin did? Her family didn’t even know about the resignation until they were standing with her by the lake when she made her announcement.”

I don't know anything about this! I read the Vanity Fair article about Palin yesterday or the day before and didn't think it nearly as damaging as the piece the New Yorker ran last Fall (also, it seemed like a lot of people weren't willing to speak on the record, which raises my antenna).

Off to see what's up.

I'm back and I pretty much know what's going on (or maybe not).

In a way, this has been a poor use of my time. In the old days I might not know much until Monday or Tuesday of next week. But what I learned then would be better nailed down.

Web chatter is incessant. But this was too intriguing to ignore. Bye-bye, Sarah. It doesn't look good.
