David Corn, one of America’s greatest writers, has finally decided that Governor Palin has had it far too easy a over the last few months. Formerly Washington editor of “The Nation” (the “flagship of the left”) and now with “Mother Jones Magazine" the courageous Corn, who once astonished the world by calling President George W Bush a liar, believes it is time to shame a sycophantic and cowed media into showing up the Governor for what she really is.

We do not know how to deal with her.
Perhaps those “close” to Romney don’t have a clue about how angry the average conservative American is. This country is headed for another civil uprising and the current batch of politicians and media will be shocked by the ferocity of it. There is a politcal tsunami building.
They NEVER let the facts get in the way of their agenda these days.
Horse feathers!
If Corn is so smart why isn’t Romney our president?
I don’t understand politics and even less the mooching politicians. That is 90% of the problem as they don’t understand us either. Except as a feedbag.
“Republican “Close” to Romney”
Odd, Corn doesn’t use the source’s name. That’s because....
He’s making this $h!t up as he goes!
David Corn is just another ivy leaguer (Brown) upset at the temerity of a state school grad aspiring to national office. He joins Brooks, Frum, Mirengoff and a host of others determined to keep out the rif raff.
Among the many abject, shameless political whores in the world; Corn strikes me as one of the glittering jewels of shamelessness!
GOOD!!! - I AM SICK OF ‘POLITICIANS’
I WANT SOMEONE WHO JUST TALKS STRAIGHT

We do not know how to deal with her.
BINGO!
Yes that is why I like her!!!!
David Corn and “One of America’s greatest writers” will never be heard anywhere else but here. The guy’s so far in the tank for all things leftist he can’t even pick his nose with his right hand.
A canned, slick image and presentation, that can be changed and is changed expediently, with no more compunction than a teenager trying on "cool" personae, is not what I'm looking for, at all.
Mr. Corn isn’t fit to eat the corn out of a dogs turd.
As to the Romney “adviser” to whom he was speaking, it was probably Romney himself.
Both of them can go FO.
Some of the stuff Michele Bachman told Glenn Beck on his radio show this morning, if investigated and widely reported, could result in many of the scumbags in the House and Senate now, to be sent packing! I wonder if Ms. Bachman is for real, or whether she’s all wind, like so many others who have wound up disappointing me?
I was thinking of corn standing out in another context.
Should I look for this guy's book on B&N and Amazon? Perhaps in the #1 spots? Oh, never mind.
And we're stockpiling surfboards.
Sing it brother.
Hell's bells, if THAT statement's true, I'm bloody Shakespeare himself!
Add Charles Krauthhammer to the list. Kraut has lost all credibility with me — he’s turned out to be just another elitist looking down his nose at Palin — AND US.
She is the Real Deal, the #1 House tiger, Most Wanted to be Reelected for us, and Most Wanted to NOT be Reelected by Pelosi.
Mitt Romney, a member of a cult is clueless as to what is the right thing to do for America. He is a socialist, I am blown away that Ann Coulture calls him a conservative.
Thank you, guys. You've saved us true conservative a whole lot of work!
The usual disclaimer: Of course SaraCuda could disappoint us at some point, and turn out to be nothing more than another flash in the pan. I don't think so, but I am quite alert to the possibility, and to any sign of the sheen wearing off!
I love Sarah Palin to death. Her values are essentially mine. She is a fantastic spokesman for conservative issues, and she will get even better. I wish more Republicans had her moral and political convictions. I think what the conservative side misses desperately is someone who can articulate and be guided by sound moral and conservative principles, like Reagan did. BUT . . .
I am afraid she has already been “Dan Quayled” by the media and the left. Even unfounded as most of it was, it is almost impossible to overcome the public ridicule that she had to endure. As much as I like her, I don’t think she can ever be a successful presidential candidate. But we need her voice pounding the left with body blows. In some very important ways, I think she retains some credibility that can help beat the Left, some of it gained by being a woman who endured the rabid, unmerciless attack from the left. I have no problem with a woman being President. I just don’t think it is her highest and best use because I don’t think she can win with all the obstacles she will have to overcome. . . IMHO.
I think that if Obama is the candidate, Susan Boyle could beat him in her original clothes...
Oh boy do I hope you are right. I just pray there are two sides to the ballot next time.
we want Rogue. they fail to grasp that.
What I find puzzling is that someone can write such a shoddy and poorly researched piece of so called journalism and get paid for it. It’s almost at the level of the puerile anti-Palin rantings of Geoffrey Dunn at the Huffington Post. But then the article is only the most recent in a long line of hit pieces usually penned by Washington hacks predicting the Governors political demise because she doesn’t conform to the conventions of political conduct as laid down by the Beltway pundits.
Here’s a tip for David Corn – why not break the mould and research – yes, that’s RESEARCH, as in using shoe leather – for a piece on why the lady remains a key political figure by defying the accepted conventions of political conduct. After all, David, that shouldn’t be too big a task for the man who got involved with Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame....
So, the article itself condemns Mr. Corn's article as a piece of puerile crap, chock full of lies but the un-sourced quote about an un-named, allegedly pro-Romney Republican from this very same article has to be the true? This is the standard of evidence here? No proof needed. Heck, no evidence needed. Romney is personally guilty. The Liberal author says so?
Corn is one of America’s greatest writers. I only know him as a Klintoon apologist . . . and a little turd.
Just like British Red-Coats didn’t know how to deal with farmers hiding behind trees. These dumb B@Q$+@&ds.....
I disagree.
There is no logical reason for that opinion. most people like her personally. they will listen to what she has to say.
Cheers!
Romney is like a turd that just won’t flush.
Conservatives are lining up behind for Palin for one major reason: her conservatism is sincere. Like Reagan, Palin really believes what she says and isn't making insincere statements to foster a false impression of conservatism, like most notedly, Romney.
Palin has made a career out of taking on the established power structure. I don't think Palin is the least bit afraid of David Corn, other MSM persons, or Romney's attack dogs.
I meant:
By 1984, Reagan was genuinely popular in his own right.
Uh, Corn is the one who made the claim about the Romney staffer - not the author of this article.
Like I said, I saw it happen with Dan Quayle and there are a whole lot of people who won’t take him seriously. The shame about that was he was very thoughtful on some good conservative issues. I wish it were not so, but it is.
If he keeps going, Obama on the other side of the ticket would make “Yellow Dog” Republicans out of a lot of people, at least for one election.
its cruel.
they could drive a person to suicide. and then just shrug their shoulders.
Exactomundo! And each time the liberals/RINOs/Socialists attack Sarah, the more she gains in stature by their defining themselves. Sarah's "Common Sense Conservatism" will sound sooooo good to many voters after experiencing the hopey-changey thing.
very true
The analogy between Palin and Quayle is a non-starter. Palin's support is coming from across the political spectrum, and her message is Common Sense Conservatism. She doesn't have to reach across the aisle, or capitulate to liberal schemes. People are waking up and standing up for pro-American ideas.
The few vocal RINOs are terrified. They don't know what to do except shriek louder. The RNC is losing votes and donations, in spite of their "help us stop this scary Obama dude" message.
What they are really trying to stop is the Sarah movement. They don't care about the communists; Graham said as much this past weekend. They do know what the score is, and it is not in favor of the liberal Democrats or liberal RINOs.
No, you’re completely wrong.
When your general is wounded but still fighting, and still bringing down more enemy than anyone else, you don’t pull her out of the battle (for one thing she outranks you).
Especially when the wound is just a little scratch.
Palin is genuine. Romney is not. I’d take Palin anyday over Romney, McCain or the rest of the last group of candidates. Once the Republican party sees that gelling behind Palin is a winner, Obama and his ilk are gone in 2012.
The solution is for the party to keep pointing out how the liberals keep pointing out how she is not smart. They did likewise with Reagan and he took them to the cleaners. Side by side with Obama, there is no contest. Class tells!
All the more reason to support her. I’m not sure how he thinks that’s a good strategy when everyone is hating politicians right now.
Yes, dirtboy, Mr. Corn is the one who made the claim about Romney’s involvement. My point is that the author of the article was commenting on Mr. Corn’s statements and he concludes his article by saying that Mr. Corn is full of crap. And yet, despite the article’s condemnation of Mr. Corn’s lack of concern for the facts, many posters on this thread have embraced Mr. Corn’s unsourced claim that “a GOPer close to Mitt Romney” was involved. Not only that, but you have now stated that it was not just someone who is “pro-Romney” but a Romney staffer, something that neither the author nor Mr. Corn claimed. I echo the words of the article’s author: get your facts straight before you criticize.
