Well gosh darnit.  Sarah's called it quits. What a mavericky thing to do!  I mean, how many governors up and leave with a year-and-a-half left on their term? 

Whatever you may think about the now former Alaska governor, those of us in the news business, well, kind of enjoy her.  Ever since she hit the national spotlight, she's sparked anger, debate, humor.  People like Sarah Palin keep us in business.

David Letterman's certainly having his fun with the Palin resignation.  Here's his list of the "Top 10 Things Overheard at Sarah Palin's Goodbye Party":

10. “More tiny hot dog appetizers? You betcha”
9.  “Don’t forget to schedule an appointment with Joe the Mover”
8.  “Quiet down! We don’t want to wake the Russians
7.  “Todd, I’ve always wanted to know — what do you do exactly?”
6.  “John McCain passed out in the dip
5. “Where can I check my pelt?”
4.  “Bad news — the new governor just quit”
3. “Please accept this gift from all of us at Lenscrafters”
2.  “Dancing with the Stars’ called, they got your resume”
1. “I haven’t seen you since the ‘Fire Dave Letterman’ Rally”

Hilarious stuff. 

I guess it remains to be seen whether Palin will stick around... or disappear as quickly as the summer sun in Wasilla.

I kind of hope we haven't heard the last of good ol' Sarah.  But if we have... you know... what are you going to do...

Because in politics, like in life, quit happens.
