“Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.”  — Proverbs 12:22

The Republicans are well blessed with not one, but two Sarahs!

Of course, we all remember Sarah Palin, the self-described “Mama Grizzly,” who served, albeit briefly, as Governor of Alaska.  That is, until she resigned after 18 months. Her selection to be John McCain’s running mate in the presidential campaign of 2008 may, or may not have, doomed his presidential chances, but she tried.

Now Sarah Huckabee Sanders is resigning from her job as White House Press Secretary.  She may be considering a run for Governor of Arkansas, a job once held by Daddy Huckabee.

Sanders, not related to Senator Bernie Sanders, as far as we know, has shown marked improvement in the important virtue of honesty.  She has not borne false witness, at least in her role as White House Press Secretary, in at least 94 days!  As chief apologist for President Trump, that is no easy feat.  She admitted, under oath, that she had provided false information, also under oath.

Some might argue that she has been faced often with the dilemma of lying or telling an unpleasant truth.  But in a sign of real professional growth, she has avoided the Hobbesian Choice by not having a White House Press Conference in more than three months.

Sure, there used to be daily events, and she’s drawing a fat salary paid by the citizens of the United States to do a job.  But given the choices she’s been facing, who can blame her?  Let’s face it, folks, being Press Secretary for Donald Trump isn’t an easy task.

Could she give the People of the Great State of Arkansas the same job performance she gave the American public?  Let’s let the voters decide.

She made great strides over the last three months in reducing the lies.  That can’t be a bad thing.
