Two more operatives have jumped off Sarah Palin's ship of fools.

From New York Magazine:

According to sources with knowledge of Palinland, Palin parted ways with longtime aides Jason Recher and Doug McMarlin just before the midterm elections. Until recently, Recher was a key player in Palin's operation. The shuffling of mid-level staffers would seem like a minor, inside development, but the move carries much larger significance: Palin's staffing issues remain one of her biggest political weak spots when compared to her talents as a speaker, fund-raiser, and media personality.

Recher, a 31-year-old GOP operative, was perhaps Palin's most trusted supporter in the trenches of the '08 run (he famously encouraged her to go to Michigan against the wishes of McCain headquarters). Known on the '08 campaign for his well-honed impressions of President Bush, Recher bonded with Palin, and following the campaign, Recher and McMarlin formed a consulting company, NorthStar Strategies, which ran Palin's travel schedule and logistics. They organized Palin's national book tour for Going Rogue. According to the most recent financial filing, NorthStar billed SarahPAC, her political operation, $10,000 in November 2010.

But Recher came to take on more than a simple logistics role: He participated in the morning conference call with Palin's small coterie of advisers and often served as a de facto press secretary. But around the time the 2010 midterm elections rolled around, Recher mysteriously dropped out of Palinland. He was no longer on conference calls and went off to help organize the book tour for Bush's memoir, Decision Points. When the Decision Points book tour concluded, Recher didn't return to the Palin camp. Sources close to Palinland wouldn't say why Recher and Palin split. "We never hear about this stuff," one source explained, saying simply that Recher just was no longer in the picture. (Recher and McMarlin didn't respond to several phone messages and e-mails.)

So Team Palin gains a new Chief of Staff after losing two trusted aides. Not surprising in the least. Though kind of interesting that there are never any reasons given or any time for good-byes provided to those who have worked alongside these two gentlemen for such an extended period of time. (Hell in "Palin years" lasting for two years is almost like a decade in any other organization.)

This does not sound as if Palin is getting any easier to work with, and is probably still burning through aides and advisers like cigarettes at an AA meeting.

Now there are two more potential sources of information for the various authors, bloggers, and magazine writers to interview.  I wonder who will be the first to get an exclusive?

At this point watching the rotting of the Palin political corpse is becoming a little hard to stomach.
