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."

Who but idiots thought Obozo was/is qualified. Ohhh! I forgot, the MSM talking heads thought he was the messiah.
And.....Mr. David Brooks, failed POTUS Obama is adept at handling a crisis? The “Republican Establishment” has to go. Of course, we must remember the likes of Brooks, etc. get no ear from anyone other then Obamabots!!!
Management is not about knowing everything.
You hire people that are good at what they do.
A manager is someone that can take in information, be aware of the overall picture, know what the goals are, and then make a decision.
Unlike our current President who seems to have trouble making up his mind, or is too busy dealing with the details to understand the whole picture, I think Sarah would make a good President.
Of course it isn't David. It's not a golf course either.
Yes, David. As a matter of fact, I think she can. I wouldn’t be supporting her at this point if I didn’t think so. Unlike some people, I really do have higher standards for candidate selection than whether the prospect is young, hip, handsome and has immaculately pressed suits. I’m frankly more confident of Governor Palin’s ability to keep a cool head and make intelligent decisions in a crisis than that of at least some of her primary opponents, and certainly more so than the incumbent and his vice president.
In short: Brooks is an elitist, sexist ass.
No. Huh-uh.
Sarah Palin knows David Brooks is a joke.
Yes. Although actually that's just one of the problems.
1. He is indecisive. He votes "present" for months while making up his mind which course of action will make him look good.
2. He is evil. He hates our country and wants to destroy it.
3. Although presidents rely on their advisers to run things, he has a habit of choosing idiots, extremists, Muslims, and Communists as his advisers. So that doesn't work very well either.
Obama thinks that they speak Austrian in Austria? None of his inner circle know any better. Obama thinks there are 57 states? None of his advisers know better. Obama wants to hand the world over to terrorists and dictators? So do his advisers. After all, he hand picked them.
“She’s not a team player.”
Actually shje was very successful as a team player. But matybe she doesn’t have much interest in the establishment DC “team”.
And i’d like to see where Obama is a team player, where HE has handled ANY crisis well.
These criticisms ring very hollow when the dithering Kenyan marxist is in the white house.
Wow. Third post and we’ve already encountered Godwin’s Law. Palinistas will have to do better than that if they’re to be taken seriously...
..................and the GOP Establishment as well!! Go Sarah Palin!!!
I misread the headline. I thought it said can she handle a CREASE.
Well, we all know (thanks to David Brooks insightful analysis) nobody can produce a better crease than President Urkel.
Really??? Someone should tell that to the Republican "power structure" types who have refused to support "Tea Party" leaning winners in primaries, and many of whom have, in fact, supported Democrats instead.
"Team Player" my ass. Palin is simply reciprocating the way they treated HER.
“Mr. President, that was simply dreadful.”
This is the same pantywaist that referred to the 0zer0 admin as an intellectual hothouse early on. Brooks is nothing more than another inside the beltway brown nose who has never had any contact with the real world. He absolutley worships pseudo-intellects like the current occupier.
Evidently Brooks still has the man crush even after the public gutting administered by a real leader on 5/20/2011
In the spring of 2005, New York Times columnist David Brooks arrived at then-Senator Barack Obama’s office for a chat. Brooks, a conservative writer who joined the Times in 2003 from The Weekly Standard, had never met Obama before. But, as they chewed over the finer points of Edmund Burke, it didn’t take long for the two men to click. “I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging,” Brooks recently told me, “but usually when I talk to senators, while they may know a policy area better than me, they generally don’t know political philosophy better than me. I got the sense he knew both better than me.”
That first encounter is still vivid in Brooks’s mind. “I remember distinctly an image of—we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant,” Brooks says, “and I’m thinking, a) he’s going to be president and b) he’ll be a very good president.” In the fall of 2006, two days after Obama’s The Audacity of Hope hit bookstores, Brooks published a glowing Times column. The headline was “Run, Barack, Run.”
One thing for certain, she wouldn't consult her Teleprompter for a solution!
