Sandi Jackson, the wife of troubled Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., announced her resignation from the Chicago city council this afternoon. It’s a 180 from her position a month ago.

Promises, promises:

A month ago today, Sandi Jackson said she would NOT quit the City Council unless "something catastrophic happens" http://t.co/hazhSBWW

Her husband stepped down in November citing health concerns as the FBI stepped up investigations into his “suspicious” financial activities.

We wonder what other shoe is about to drop now?

In any case, don’t let the door hit ya…
