Alaska Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott (D) abruptly resigned Tuesday following the discovery of unspecified "inappropriate comments."

"It is with profound disappointment and sadness that I accepted the resignation of Lieutenant Governor Byron Mallott," Alaska Gov. Bill Walker (I) said in a statement.

"Byron recently made inappropriate comments that do not reflect the sterling level of behavior required in his role as Lieutenant Governor," Walker wrote. "I learned of the incident last night. Byron has taken full responsibility for his actions and has resigned."

Personally I think Palin is hot....in more ways than one.

Generally speaking, an elected executive branch member resigns to the Sec of State. Not the Gov.

...Alaskans still do not know what comments sparked Mallott’s resignation. The secret appears to be closely held among members of Walker’s administration, and Walker press secretary Austin Baird said the governor himself only learned about it the night before.

You're obviously not from Alaska. There is no Secretary of State up here.

Why is it such a secret what he actually said? It has to come out some time, doesn’t it? No one “in the know” seems to want the public to know what is going on.
