[Governor] Palin a new kind of puzzle for national Republican Party

The Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | December 13, 2009 | Dick Polman, National Political Columnist

The more she is attacked for lack of substance, the more they love her.

Yah, right!

Sarah Palin has more "substance" in her lettle finger than 0-Bozo will ever hope to have!

[The Comedian]

Sort of like Madonna

No, sort of like the leadership of Maggie Thatcher, the faith of Joan of Arc, the patriotism of Betsy Ross, and the wit of Ann Coulter, all wrapped in a beauty queen package with 10000x more management experience and iconoclastic vigor than the entire viper's brood of Obastard's White House combined.

But you wouldn't know that, because you "can see Russia from her house".

I've gone from disbelieving, to ignoring, to hating the fringe media. I don't know what comes after "hate", but it isn't pretty, and I am advancing up to it at full speed.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

And just who is Dick Polman? I’ll bet that this is the only column he has ever written that has been read by more than 100 people. I figure he must be fishing for some sort of pat on the back from the DNC, and maybe a little cash flowing his way to “stimulate” him to write more pieces attacking her.

Who should be #2 on the ticket?

[AFreeBird]

Puzzle?

The Lady is their, and the Dems, Rubik Cube.

[uncbob]

I have to disagree

Barbour the times I saw him reminded me of Cheney not Lott

[uncbob]

She’s untouchable now. She withstood the worst and bested them all and they know it

Bounced right off and they are beside themselves trying to figure why she doesn't cave in

EXCELLENT!

Finny, I agree that the country is not ready for two women on the same ticket. I do think Michelle is as tough and solid as Sarah, but the ticket would be too vulnerable to sexist attacks from the left. Perhaps two female Presidents in a row?

[norge]

...establishment Republicans haven't quite figured out how to deal with her.

They'll quickly learn she'll be dealing with them.

[FastCoyote]

Dick, you ignorant slut.

[And there’s something a tad weird about her newfangled habit of posting simplicities on Facebook. ]

Actually, Facebook is now part of business, so Palin is avant garde in using it. And she writes well conceived editorials, she is no putz.

All they have left is name calling and innuendo.

Your depiction of Haley Barbour is both crude and ignorant.

He was one of the best, if not the most successful RNC chairmen, and he’s an outstanding conservative governor.

He’s never shown any interest in national politics, despite being pestered about it every fours years.

Dick Polman’s Skewed, Left-Partisan History Lesson

Dick Polman is a long time Philly columnist and extreme left-winger that rarely makes any attempt to seem “fair and balanced,” so it isn't surprising that his latest attempt at prescient punditry is a plaintive plea for the Democrats to chill out and just get along so that they can beat the “septuagenarian” McCain. But, his piece is so filled with horribly misconstrued historical analysis that it is hard to let him slide and mark it up solely as another forgettable example of the kind of partisan claptrap most of his work turns out to be. But, with the sort of half informed historical analysis he indulges in to cajole people to vote for the Democrats, this latest piece is too dishonest to just let it slide by. If anything calls for a fisking, this one does.

Polman starts his lamentably bad history lesson with this taunt to the Democrats.

If the Democrats somehow contrive to blow this presidential election, they should be consigned to the dustbin of history - or to a display case at the Smithsonian, where perhaps they can share space with the Whigs.

To which I say, heck, if the Democrats weren't consigned to the dustbin of history after supporting slavery, starting a civil war, losing that war after 620,000 Americans died, supporting Jim Crow, supporting Japanese internment, continuing to support Jim Crow, fighting civil rights, and building a failed and expensive socialist state, a little primary fight between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is certainly not going to do them much harm!

nuff said!

[Balding_Eagle]

Thanks, that needed to be said.

Great column. I enjoy Leftists when the ‘go ‘round the bend’, and this ones a keeper.

I want Sarah to run, if for no other reason than to be able to read more of these spittle on the keyboard columns.

re: #2 on the ticket?

I like John Bolton. I think he can make the few liberal heads that manage to make it through Sarah Palin will definitely go ka-boom when it comes to him!

Or perhaps, Dick Cheney!

[jwparkerjr]

I have always liked him! I would love to see him on a ticket with Sarah Palin.

{I hope she makes a habit of writing her op-eds, doing interviews about serious policy matters. (She should go on Fox News Sunday for example to discuss energy policy}

Iagree. Unlike other public figures, Palin benefits from media overexposure. Palin needs more face time than hiding out in Facebook. She should try to get a Fox News Contributor job like Newt, Santorum, and Bolton. This way, she can appear on all the Fox News shows to discuss policy and build her gravitas. Being a Fox News Contributor has helped Huckabee .
