Stapleton said she resigned to spend more time with her husband and 2-year-old daughter, Isabella. “While it has been an honor to help Gov. Palin and her family over the last few years, I am also honored to have this incredible opportunity to stay home with my precious miracle, Isabella,” Stapleton told POLITICO. “At 2 years old, I have missed significant moments in her life, but I look forward with great happiness to celebrating milestones as well as mundane moments with her as I refocus my priorities. I also look forward to seeing my saint-of-a-husband again, too!” (To read the rest of Politico’s post just click the title.) Wow! So Meg has FINALLY decided to get to while the getting is good huh? “Meg has been deeply involved in all things Palin and instrumental in Sarah’s many successes,” Fred Malek, a prominent Republican fundraiser and Palin friend, told POLITICO. “It’s hard to replace anyone so loyal, tireless and effective, but the Palin phenomenon will continue. Meg has surely earned the privilege to devote more time to her 2-year-old daughter, but I expect she will continue to render advice to her good friend on key issues. It appears that Meg handed in her resignation last week. In an e-mail to the staff last week, she wrote: “Earlier this week, I handed Governor Palin my resignation, effective the end of this month.” No wonder nobody has spoken out about the “ruffled ear” story. Who will Palin get to be her attack poodle now? Update: It is definitely worth noting that there is NOTHING about Meg’s resignation from the Palin camp. Not on Twitter, not on Facebook, nowhere! Not to be TOO conspiratorial here, but if Meg really notified her boss that she was leaving don’t you think there would a prepared statement ready to go on the day that it was reported to the media? I mean exactly what is Sarah paying all of those consultants and ghostwriters for? Update 2: For those speculating that “ruffled ear” baby is Meg’s, you should know that Isabella was born on July 1. 2007 . Doesn’t work. Update 3: It looks like there kinda…sorta…might be a response from the Palin camp about this resignation. Go down to the bottom. I especially like this part: The source noted that the family, which takes pride in their Alaskan identity, are comfortable speaking in their own voice. Palin is going to speak in her own voice? Well THAT should work out well for her. Oh well, that was just mean now wasn’t it? Update 4: Just in case there are some of you who may not really know and despise Meg Stapleton yet, let’s take a trip in the wayback machine to October of 2008. This was in the middle of the Troopergate investigation. Les Gara rocked didn’t he?
