<p>After Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s founder and chief executive officer, Nancy Brinker, announced her resignation on Wednesday, questions have been swirling like a loose pink ribbon on a windy day.</p>
<p>In a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://ww5.komen.org/KomenNewsArticle.aspx?id=19327354686"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">statement to the press</span></a></span></span>, Brinker explained that she is stepping down as CEO to assume a new role as chair of the organization’s Executive Committee, where she will focus her energy on revenue growth.</p>
<p>In addition to Brinker, Komen’s current president, Liz Thompson, and two board members, Brenda Lauderback and Linda Law, also resigned on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The charity’s numerous resignations follow its short-lived, yet controversial decision in January to revoke funding to Planned Parenthood, which also culminated in the resignation of its former vice president, Karen Handel.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Handel didn’t leave Komen under the best of terms, according to <a href="http://thegabbler.com/?p=181" target="_blank">a draft of her resignation statement that <em>The Gabbler</em> unearthed back in January.</a></p>
<p>“Planned Parenthood may have raped my intentions, but you’re no better, shoving the Pill of apologetic silence down my goddamn throat,” reads her letter to Brinker.</p>
<p>With Komen facing nation-wide losses in participation for its flagship event, “Walk For the Cure,” by nearly 30 percent, there is one of question on many people’s minds: who will be appointed as the new CEO to help revamp the fledgling breast cancer charity organization’s overall image?</p>
<p>Among the candidates that have expressed interest in filling Brinker’s shoes are prominent anti-feminist and conservative activist Phyllis Shlafly, adult film actor Ron Jeremy, and professional socialite and former reality television star Paris Hilton.</p>
<p>“I do like the direction Komen’s been taking so far,” said Shlafly in a brief phone interview with <em>The Gabbler</em> over the weekend. “Of course, they did pussy out on the whole Planned Parenthood thing, but mark my words: once they elect me as CEO, Cecile Richards will be the one on her knees. She should be used to it by now.”</p>
<p>Mr. Jeremy expressed other reasons for his interest in pursuing the role of CEO for Komen.</p>
<p>“I believe Komen is in need of a face lift &#8212; actually, ‘titty lift’ would be more appropriate, <em>am I right?</em> &#8212; But anyway, I am just the man to do it. I am a strong advocate for women’s rights, I’m anti-cancer and I’m a proud, progressive and empathetic feminist,” said Jeremy. “Plus, if I’m CEO, I get to take part in as many mammograms as I want, right?”</p>
<p>Ms. Hilton was reportedly hungover and unavailable for comment, but she did send <em>The Gabbler</em> a brief statement on Sunday, by way of text message:</p>
<p>“Saving boobs AND wearing pink? That&#8217;s hot.&#8221;</p>
