blah blah blah blah....
the “simplicities” she posts on FaceBook are more sophisticated than anything this person has ever written.
Jackass journalist cherry picked. The bold is what he cut off.

Comparing her to Maddonna - the celebrity ho’ and then unfavorably to Nixon shows they have reached the end of their ammo.
I suspect too, that Haley Barbour’s cagey *constitution* comment was a reference to Sarah having been being born in the US.
All that elite fact-checking-——tsk tsk.
American Citizens are THE PEOPLE!
Not regular, not irregular, we are THE PEOPLE!!!!!
Any person who speaks extemporaneously has patterns like this. Especially Obama. Sentence fragments, losses of trains of thought, restarts mid-sentence.
You are right — it’s assassination attempt to cherry pick a fragment like this in an otherwise coherent pattern of thought. Thanks for looking up the original quotation to show what a jackass he is.
The "party"?!?!?!? You mean the Beltway fossils who look down their noses at Palin? Ya, sure, they want her to do all the work, then they think they're going to step in and take over? Get out of our way!!!
Dudes...I think it already exploded and you need a medic.
Dick Pohman is an IDIOT.
He must be one of those poor olde hack writers bitterly clinging to their typewriters and hackneyed phrases.
How excrutiatingly pathetic, just sheer pathos.
I really hope that Governor Sarah Palin does not get one of those BORING ol' official political websites that are merely an exercise in narcissistic aggrandizement.
And, furthermore, so very easy to hack.
On Twitter & Facebook, it is so very wide open and public, there's really no way to sabotage her, there.
Hey Dick0, olde boy -- those "simplicities" posted by YOUR next president cause the current one no end of wee-weed-uPness.
It’s way way too much for the Stupid Party to deal with.

Compared to an authentic person like Sarah Palin, he's a parody of a cartoon character: the checked jacket Southern Huckster, uttering simplistic platitudes to rule the rubes in rural Mississippi. Even Trent Lott's hairpiece wasn't as stupid.
Yeah. She's a challenge to these clowns: a hip chick mommy who's probably put more than one self-infatuated guy down in ways he didn't think possible. And the fact that she knows how to market herself organically rather then their bland, dimwitted D.C. lobbying/marketing firm style is undoubtedly mystifying to them.
She's gonna blow them away, and they know it. They're the Dweebs and she's the Prom Queen. They gotta be spending tens of millions on opposition research. Something, anything...some guy she did in Idaho who wants to talk now. More dirt on her kids....
Won't work. Regular people see themselves in that stuff: everyone has those problems. All it will do is endear her to them. I mean, relate to Romney? A cardboard character, too perfect, too blow dried, too tan? George Hamilton without the fun?
They are gone, gone, gone.
They are already blind. Those in Washington think they are chosen. They think their riches, their birth lineage, etc entitles them to power. Even those who claim to support “We the people” often in private voice their disdain for those who elect them as “kooks”. And why are those that elect them kooks? It is because they dare to question them, dare to ask them to defend and follow the constitution and respect the values on which this country was founded. That is why they dislike Palin, because if they were held to the standard that she has been held there would be nothing left of them but ashes. Their precious idiotic carbon footprint.
They can employ illegal aliens, pardon murderers,associate openly with unrepentant terrorists and racists, and propose plans that will by force remove more and more of the hard earned wealth of those who elect them. Give me a government run by uncommon common men and women like Palin and I have no doubt they would do a far better honest job than all the Harvard educated self important flack lawyers that hold office now.
>>>Think about that one: A sizable share of Republicans might actually support a prospective nominee whom they recognize to be fundamentally deficient. Perhaps this is easily explained. Many conservatives are congenitally hostile to government, so perhaps it’s a logical next step to “seriously consider” someone who is ill-suited to perform the onerous, complex tasks of governance.<<<
Here’s my thinking for the elitist snot down there in the lower 48: those of us up here in Alaska who have actually seen and talked with Sarah Palin know something that many others miss. With Sarah Palin, you’ve got integrity and intelligence. This guy seems to think that the only certain types of people - e.g., Ivy League, prep school, liberal - can possibly understand the “complexities” of government. It’s another way of saying that all issues have degrees of gray and Sarah’s too black-and-white for the man’s taste.
I’m old enough to remember almost the exact same things being said about Reagan, although in that case he was portrayed as a movie cowboy dunce who could speak well in public. It was said that Reagan didn’t have the intellect to govern a complex government, either.
What the writer neglects is that a solid moral and intellectual foundation often clarifies complexity. Science provides a good example of utter complexity that is often easily reducable to understandable core concepts. There’s a joke about this with my own people, in which the punch line is, “But is it good for the Jews?” In this case, coming to the table with an understanding of the Constitution’s core values and an appreciation of individual liberty seems to cut through the crap effectively.
Too bad that guy in Philly doesn’t have a clue.
Many decades ago, I earned a couple of Journalism degrees (advertising major) from what is still regarded as the finest J school in the country.
I wound up there because I was too lazy to work for a more meaningful degree from another school at the University. As a J student, I was free to use my time for more amusing pursuits.
Because I’m bright, I still graduated with honors.
My fellow J students were at the bottom of the University’s student body pecking order in terms of social skills. And only education majors displayed fewer intellectual gifts.
Hence, I’m always amused by the pretenses of journos who now feel qualified to judge and comment on Palin’s intellect.
I’ve owned fish that were brighter than this writer, for example.
Snark.
This column is nothing but. Assuming these political “experts” want us to read their stuff...and learn from it...well, forget it.
Why not write a serious piece on SP?
“And there’s something a tad weird about her newfangled habit of posting simplicities on Facebook.”
Thus sayeth (in authentic redneck dialect) the great Dick Polman, the “national political columnist” of the Phila. Inquirer, who paints himself up in blackface to discourse on racial issues. /fba
(fba=false but accurate)
“Dick Polman”—need I say more?
