Submitted by The_Wanderer_Kansas
A supposed driving force behind cutting off funding for Planned Parenthood, Karen Handel announced her resignation from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. As the vice president of public policy, Handel acknowledged her role in the Planned Parenthood blowup:
"I am deeply disappointed by the gross mischaracterizations of the strategy, its rationale, and my involvement in it," Handel said in her letter. "I openly acknowledge my role in the matter and continue to believe our decision was the best one for Komen's future and the women we serve."
The community responds to Handel's decision to resign:
hoosierdaddy: "The thing to remember is this. When a team replaces its coach in the middle of a losing streak, that doesn't mean it has given up on winning. Just the opposite."
Slfriend79: "Bye, Bye, Karen Handel...Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
The_Wanderer_Kansas: "I expect we may hear from people who do want the door to hit her before the days out!"

Too little too late. All that goodwill is gone forever. It's a disgrace.
