So, earlier today Karen Handel resigned from the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Her letter here. It includes turning down the severance package, which seems dumb, unless she wants to go public with more of the story.

The glee could be felt from numerous quarters, from these people to these people.

Hey, before anyone takes a victory lap.

The last three days of wading through outraged FaceBook, Twitter, email and phone calls about the stand the Susan G. Komen Foundation took to withdraw funding for breast cancer screenings, has me worn out. I certainly found out who believes in women’s wellness and who doesn’t.

Karen Handel gave a gracious concession statement, but someone on her team neglected to delete this post”:Ethics, Grand Juries, Nathan Deal and George Soros.” Karen’s team went after Deal claws bared and in the process took liberals, the media and George Soros (George Soros?) off the hook.  Here’s a taste:

In my heavily Republican precinct, at 8 a.m. this morning, there was one person waiting to vote, and one other person leaving. I’ve seen more people there for a SPLOST vote.
