Call off your flying monkeys before Palin starts picking them off with an M-16.
Modern Conservative ^ | Christopher Cook

By Christopher Cook

We've had colleagues call in just to gush.

Writers at the Corner are receiving emails 20 to 1 in favor of the pic.

We've been told of former politicians—older, seasoned men—who wept for joy at the news.

Palin is simply a fantastic pic.


And yet, America is going to have to hear a bunch of really stupid, offensive, disgusting things said about her. It's already begun.

Steny Hoyer compares her to Dan Quayle . . . which is neither fair to her nor to Quayle. This is, of course, an attempt to create a meme where—like Quayle—she is a punch line to every joke.

They're going to trot out their women talking heads to tell us all that Palin's not ready. Using women (or women choosing to participate) in this endeavor is just more of the Democrats' practice of using sources who cannot be criticized, like wounded veterans, 9/11 widows, or Christopher Reeves. We cannot criticize a woman's take on Palin because, well, a woman would know best about another woman. Blather.


Their hate and misogyny is already on display:

She is right handed, that aside. I would like to be a Gov and try out all the neat stuff, just for familiarization of course.

Then, my friend, it is time to start getting around their system and talking directly to the American people.

I've been waiting for someone to write a piece like this.

BTW I fully expect to see some sniping from our own side, as well. There are elements within our own ranks who are not anxious for a conservative populist revival this woman apparently represents within the GOP.

I think was a “sucker born every minute,” but yep, it’s attributed to Barnum.

Now that they've stopped enslaving, lynching, and segregating blacks, they portray themselves as the only safe home for blacks: but dare to leave their plantation, and it's 24/7 of "house slave" and "uncle tom" and "race-traitor" and Chucky Schumer rifling through your credit file.

I think Lady Jag means she has her sights set on the left wing but I could be wrong.

I don’t know her well, but from what I’ve seen and heard about her so far, she can take care of herself.

She's just like Reagan. All she has to do is shake her head, and say, "there you go again." She'll drive these cowardly jackals back into the jungle with their tails between their legs.

They can't touch her. Like Billy Jack, she's going to put her foot in their faces, and their's nothing they can do about it.

George Carlin said that the average American was dumber than s**t, and that half of those were even dumber than that.

That is EXACTLY how I feel.

Interesting tagline, by the way.

You are probably right, but if it was left we would seen more of the tube, she does have good stance.

Because half of the people in this country are on the left side of the bell curve.

Obama wants to raise taxes and kill babies.

Palin wants to raise babies and kill taxes.

What does being right handed have to do with sighting in the Left?

Vast majority of those don't vote

My husband keeps saying, “WOW, she looks like Linda Ronstadt” (when she was still pretty) every time he sees this picture! LOL

The GOP is not immune from sexism, and I too, expect to hear some sniping. Not like Sarah hasn’t heard it all before though. It’ll backfire on them though — women don’t take too kindly to one of their own being disparaged for her gender. I’ve even seen some “Obama-women” taking members of their own party to task for their sexist commentary on DU over the last 24 hours. It’ll backfire BIG time. This isn’t the 50s anymore. Females in my generation grew up KNOWING we were capable of anything we set our minds to. You don’t really want to mess with us. ;)
