Margaret Carlson had an interesting aside on the fate of Mark Sanford on Countdown tonight. She said that Gov Sanford squeaked by with a censure from the SC GOP thanks to Michael Jackson and Sarah Palin.

Close but no cigar. My argument is that Palin's hasty press conference to announce her resignation was prompted by her pathological narcissistic jealously of the Sanford press coverage.

There you go Sarah, Margaret Carlson thinks that you have now eclipsed Sanford's coverage. Your politico-celebrity comeback is in full effect.
