Do you people think at all????

“Just tune in to her disastrous interview with Katie Couric and watch her try to answer non-trick questions about Russia and the financial crisis. ‘She made George Bush look like Cicero,’ said one horrified former Palin fan.”

:))

incidentally, Wente does note that Democrats share SOME of the blame for the financial meltdown (I had previously strenuously argued they did not, and i still don’t, but i respect her opinion). She says:
“In fact no-one wants to level with the people. IF they did, they’d have to explain that everybody had a hand in creating the credit crisis — even Democrats. In fact, it was the Republicans who pushed for tighter regulations on Fannie and Freddie, the government mortgage lenders, and the Democrats who opposed them….
“Both the Republicans and Democrats enthusiastically endorsed the idea of using government power to expand home ownershipo to pele who had been shut out of the market. But laissez-faire capitalism made the problem much worse. Reckless lenders, operating completely free of oversight, began pushing mortgages at people who got in way over their heads. Not surprisingly, nobody on Main Street complained…”

It’s a great column, and anybody who is fixed in their ideological approach to this issue should read it.

But I just love the Palin-Bush-Cicero quote.

Ever seen the ‘Human Stain’ where Anthony Hopkins place an Ivy League academic and veteran affirmative action pioneer destroyed by censorious language police for his use of the term?

Yeah, mate, how dare you think for yourself? You should be following the dead sheep who call themselves ‘progressive left’, and allow your great and glorious leaders to do the thinking for you. That way, your opinions will be pre-approved as the correct ones to have.

You’re correct because it’s middle America Palin appeals to and not east coast snobs with useless university degrees.

It should also be said that a certain section of the Republican party is against her as well.

And they oppose her because she ’s told large oil companies to take a hike when they approached her about obtaining an “essential” 4 billion subsidy for the construction of a pipeline.

I know of no other american politician that has stood up to large and powerful oil interests.

Palion is a small ‘c’ conservative and has no patience for wealthy ‘entrepreneurial’ parasites looking to live off the public teat, and can confidently stare them down.

She is an enemey of crony capitalists ( about the only kind we have these dasy) and is like the wicked witch to the poor innocent Dorothy of cultural marxists.

She would make an excelent vice-president.

Dribbled by an idiot who can’t even write basic English.
