HURT: Sarah of Alaska fits Joan of Arc role as 2012 possibility
Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, May 31, 2011 | Charles Hurt

RAPIDAN, Va. — On the very weekend America paused to remember all those whose sacrifices are the blood fruit of our freedom, rolling in like thunder, clad in black leather, was yet another red-white-and-blue bundle of American sacrifice and patriotism.

Just in time to ensure that no backyard barbecue anywhere in America was without joy, debate, rancor, confusion, fist-fights, something.

Back into our lives rode Sarah of Alaska, Maid of the Bering Sea, devoured, ogled and debated by the masses.

She is our modern Joan of Arc, dressed in black leather chaps, hunting camo or fishing boat slicker, unafraid to mount her steed, whether a Harley or a snow machine. She is a woman, bloody hands, capable of any man's task — even that Holy Grail of politics with which no woman has ever been entrusted.

Unlike sister St. Joan, Sarah does not pass herself as a man. She can do any man's work, without ceding an ounce of her gas station pin-up babe good looks.

But in most else, she shares with sister St. Joan. Driven by visions from God and destined for sainthood by way of a burning at the stake, Sarah is misunderstood here in her own lifetime.

This is why she submitted to a two-hour documentary about the life and times of Sarah Palin, an Arc-umentary that begins in the wilds of small town Alaska and ends — well, we don't know yet.

In it, we will learn how she routed out the old boys club in Alaska. How she ferreted out corruption and went on a jihad against wasteful spending. All this while mothering a family — grizzly-style — and remaining the most popular governor in the U.S.

Maybe the story ends with her running a common-sense, intensely patriotic presidential campaign against an academic silk-stocking gasbag whose only apparent talent seems to be..

Maybe Charles should change his name to “Butthurt”.

Hmm. If I recall correctly, things didn’t necessarily turn out that well for Miss Arc.

Damn, I love reading the hate that the Left spews at Palin! She is catching so much flak that she’s not only over the target, but she’s flying low and circling with her landing lights on. Every liberal and RINO has a diaper-load right now because they’re terrified and she isn’t even doing anything meaningful right now, except letting them waste their ammo. I hope she spends the next six months “almost” being a candidate while they tear at their hair and clothing in hysterics. I can’t wait to read about the first liberal who commits “Palin-Induced Suicide”.

She’s a Saint. It doesn’t turn out much better than that.

But we certainly love the way she enrages the media. She is loathed by all the right hate-filled people. She inspires fury among klepto-liberals who cannot abide dissenting opinion and would not lift a finger to protect other people’s freedom.**********

Very nice. These so called klepto-liberals on both sides of the aisle realize if they don’t cut her off at the knees very quickly that once she does get rolling she’ll be unstoppable. There’s a lot of nervousness inside the beltway right now as they just can’t seem to kill her no matter how many hit pieces or bogus polls they print.

This election cycle is going to be a lot of fun.

I am mad that God didn’t swoop down and save her.

I love Sarah, but she needs to own the fact that she was ill-prepared to be cast into the den of wolves (MSM) visa vis “the Katie Couric” interview. McCain should have given her a good 6-8 weeks to study up before calling her number for veep. As one writer put it, she’s been “Quayled.”

"I love Sarah, but"

But what? She had a bad interview so we should all just jump off a bridge. Get positive. Sarah 2012!

The American people forgive a lot deficiencies in their politicians, but “stupid” is not one of them. Better the “ill-prepared” moniker than “stupid.”

You said she was ill-prepared but know she's stupid, which one is it?

She doesn’t own that, the McLame camp does. If they had let Sarah be Sarah, well, maybe things might have been different.

Then again McLame is a GOP elitist, so snatching defeat.. It’s what they do.
