That analogy doesn't wash. Sarah Palin has actually held office and has a record of accomplishment. Rush Limbaugh's entire career was in broadcasting. It's a specious comparison.
But she is not very effective as an office holder.
She's accomplished more as Governor than most Governors do in two terms. And she would have gotten more done had the haters left her alone.
Don't you see how ironic this is? The liberal haters forced her out of office. Now they and establishment conservatives are complaining that she's making money on the speaking circuit, fund-raising, author, and now have the nerve to tell us that she's not electable?
Rush is a Palin fan, too.
Since you don't like that comparison, let's look at Newt Gingrich. He has held elected office. He has an important role to play in the Republican Party. But now his role is not in elected office. His role is as a speaker, writer, and advisor.
She's accomplished more as Governor than most Governors do in two terms. And she would have gotten more done had the haters left her alone.
Palin had accomplishments as governor of Alaska, but they were modest. And those accomplishments came by close cooperation with Democrats in the Alaska legislature.
Now they and establishment conservatives are complaining that she's making money on the speaking circuit, fund-raising, author, and now have the nerve to tell us that she's not electable?
No one in the conservative establishment is complaining about Palin making money on the speaking circuit or from a book she wrote. The country club Republicans don't like her. But the country club Republicans are not conservatives.
