Yeah, Tina Fey may mug at the camera a few times on SNL. I'm so afraid.
The Left is doing this to themselves. Without the constant ridicule she'd be just another Governor; with it she's the frontrunner by default. I made that point to a friend day before yesterday who scoffed at the notion she was being treated any differently from any other politician. "Oh, yeah?" I asked him. "So how many children does the Governor of Washington have?" Stone silence. (It's two, incidentally).
Sarah Palin is not running for President. Yet. And three more years of this is three more years of free publicity. I'm not going to try to talk them out of it.
> Who else on the right does the left go after with such mouth frothing intensity, other than Sarah Palin?
If they were running, the left would go after Lt-Col (ret) Oliver North, Curtis Sliwa, and perhaps Rush Limbaugh just as hard and with just as much vitriol. And they would certainly score points because none of these three have any political or corporate experience — whereas Sarah Palin has it in double-handfuls.
Bobby Jindal, perhaps? They’d go after him hard, too.
The right isn’t short of talent: not by a long shot. It just hasn’t been deployed intelligently since, well, since Reagan’s time. Although GWB did a very good job, to be fair.
“things that make me upset is referring to Governor Sarah Palin as a girl”
Well, you musn’t let that get to you. This sort of misogenism is cookbook liberal election fare. You can take offense if you wish, but you’ll be in a straight jacket by the time the elections rolls around. Take all of this “arm waving” with an eye to its street theater roots.
None of this is personal, or even real. It’s simply an exercise over who the left wants to destroy today.
Personally I’m not sure Palin is the one. I think she’s working that out right now. Is she a worthy successor to Reagan? Remember, Reagan’s communicative powers may well have been exceeded by his intellect, though no one knew that before the election. What concerns me, is that we’re not seeing other Republicans testing out the waters. We should have some more choices, but the Republican party seems to be somewhat rudderless at present. No matter, she’s an interesting possibility if no one else steps forward.
Especially when a majority of it comes in from overseas with no accounting of from whom and how much.
It's good to be king.
Actually, most Americans are against the Iraq War.
It is a losing issue at the ballot box.
“They would never do this to Romney, Huckabee or Newt, at least not to this level.”
The writer forgets Newsweek and Time after the ‘94 elections .. “The Gingrich Who Stole Christmas” etc ... Newt was a threat then and they were determined to take him down .. and they did (with a lot of help from Newt himself).

Or, we could put it, to The HIMness. The HIMness itself is a puppet creation with no appreciable mind of its own.
If we can’t get anyone else of conservative stature to approach the GOP Prez ticket for 2012, say Jindal, it’s gonna have to be her. In these times, we can’t afford a “who sucks more” contest to give us Four More Years Of Obama.
It was about Hating America his entire life and getting his chance to get EVEN . REPARATIONS
Bank it!
What some folks refuse to understand is if we don’t fight the Terrorists and be victorious on their Turf then we will be fighting them on ours.
Yep, the governor has the “X” Factor fer sure, something sorely lacking in all the other GOP contenders. You should see and hear her in person! The cameras do NOT do her justice!
Unbelievable! I think "those Jewish people" is a phrase Reverend Wright prefers, not one used by Sarah Palin!
ditto.
I'm not convinced those trolls are true Repubs or even FReepers. I think they are trolls sent by the left to try and plant the seeds of negativity about Palin. They've done it for every other candidate. They're the "Seminar Callers" of Free Republic.
And if we don't stop them, the phrase will soon be attributed to Palin, not Letterman. Just like everyone now thinks she actually said she could see Russia from her house.
Biden is supposed to be the face of experience in Obummer's administration. They told us that he was specifically picked to appeal to our key demographic in southwest Pennsylvania-- blue collar, Roman Catholic and many retired people because Biden was actually raised in Pennsylvania.
The actual result:
With two weeks notice of a mid-day rally, Biden could not even fill a medium-sized high school gym in our county seat. The media would not even show crowd shots because there were so many empty seats. All they would show were shots of the "amen chorus" behind the speaker and describe the crowd as "about 500." Most of the 500 were press and the "amen chorus" bussed in for the free event.
Meanwhile, Sarah had over 3000 people turn out with 24 hours notice to a 6 a.m. airport rally about 10 miles away. What few press covered the event couldn't beleive the contrast.
When the votes were counted, Obummer barely cracked 42% in a county which Mondale carried in the Reagan landslide of 1984.
