Palin's Dereliction of Duty

The Problem With Palin

With the winds shifting in Sarah's favor, he's now trying to climb on the bandwagon he had no problem shooting at this time last year.

Months ago, I wrote a pretty harsh rebuttal of one of Hillyer’s attacks on Palin, so I am wary of him. I did hear him a few months back on Mark Levin and the two seemed like old friends, which definitely makes me feel better about him.

The two observations I have taken away from this Tuscon tragedy and Sarah Palin’s “pitch perfect” (Hillyer’s phrase, borrowed from David Broder, who called her message—in a burst of alliterative flourish— “pitch perfect populism”) response to it is that two figures—one major (Michael Savage) and the other minor (Quin Hillyer) have confessed that they were re-appraising their former dim views of Governor Palin. In other words, the left’s tactic of trying to link Palin with Tuscon has backfired. And her brilliant and dignified responses to it have intensified the effect.

The leftists detest her, but they can’t stop talking and writing about her both because: 1) She is likely to run and win, thereby ending their grip on power; and 2) Perhaps even more importantly, she is personally interesting-—a larger than life figure awash in a sea of political pygmies.
