DAVID BROOKS: Does Anyone Think Sarah Palin Can Handle A Crisis? White House Isn't American Idol
Business Insider ^ | 05/30/2011 | Glynnis MacNicol

Plenty of Sunday morning airtime was devoted yesterday to Sarah Palin. George Will says it's common knowledge she shouldn't be trusted with nuclear weapons.

Andrew Sullivan says he's afraid she will run because there's a possibility she could beat Obama.

David Brooks essentially thinks she's a joke.

"Yeah. But, you know, being president is waking up, somebody hands you the crisis and said, "There's a crisis in Venezuela. What are you going to do about it?" Does any, does anybody think Sarah Palin's ready for that? I don't think so. So she can manage her brand.

But running for president is not "American Idol." And I, I think people may agree with her, they may like her, but that doesn't mean they're going to vote for her. And so I--you know, the other thing is she's just not a team player. This is a team sport. Just take one little thing she did this week. She's taking her bus up to New Hampshire.

She doesn't call the Republican Party in New Hampshire, tell, tell them where she's going to appear, what she's going to do. So you got to play as part of the party, you got to play as part of the team.

She's not a team player. I don't think people are going to think she's qualified."

David Brooks and whoever these idiots are can SHOVE it. I am not on the SP bandwagon, but HELL YES she can handle a crisis....I am a firm believer she is fully capable of being a better leader than the stinking Marxist currently occupying the Oval Office. The CURRENT regime is the one elected on the American Idol mode; the moron selected has no executive or private sector experience whatsoever, and the inexperience shows.

Maybe Sarah Palin may just be wanting to bring to reality a LOVE for country that is so badly is needed?

Who do we trust in a crisis?

This is a trick question, right?

It seems to me that she was the Captain of a State Champion basketball team. Was she a power forward and allstar scorer? Heck no, she was a point guard and playmaker. Wait a minute, isn’t that what a President does????

"Wow. Third post and we’ve already encountered Godwin’s Law."

Godwin's Law is where one makes a comparison of ones thinking to Hitler and the Nazis. SUSSA made no such comparison. It was a statement of fact. The State Owned Media are national socialist.

Anyone who thinks the current political climate in the United States bear any resemblance to Nazi Germany is an idiot who understands neither and spits in the faces of the hundreds of millions of people affected by that regime. And thanks for implying that I’m somehow sympathetic to that stain - now go f**k yourself...

I'm sure Mr. Brooks wishes that were so. I suspect Sarah scares the hell outta him. Like most RATS.
