Three of the four boys were present, carrying tote and duffel bags.

Reigning New York Times political diva Maureen Dowd says Gov. Sarah Palin’s abrupt decision to quit her job shows things are a little “nutty” out in Alaska. With all due respect to Dowd, how does she explain the trifecta of gubernatorial nuttiness that has been mesmerizing her own tri-state readership area for years? Gov. Elliot Spitzer of New York resigned last year after being forced to admit he was a longtime customer of an elite call-girl ring. In 2004, Connecticut Gov. John Rowland quit in order to avoid being impeached for corrupt activities that eventually led to a federal prison sentence. Two months later, Gov. Jim McGreevey of New Jersey called it quits in mid-term in order to avoid growing questions about his personal and professional conduct related to a messy affair with a former male aide.

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford was the emerging leader of the Republican party’s Reaganite, fiscal-conservative wing. Can he still be a player after revealing an extra-marital affair? Sanford isn’t the first Republican leader to stumble in his private life. He’s not even the first one this month. A week earlier, it was Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) revealing his own affair. And these revelations hurt Republicans more than Democrats because of the perception that Republicans set themselves up as moral arbiters. So Democrats are, in the unusually honest words of talk show host Bill Press, “gleeful tonight because another Republican hypocrite bites the dust.“
