"And when I asked if she had any Grey Poupon, she flipped me off!"

FOX News contributor Charles Krauthammer gives his take on what a "Washington establishment elitist" thinks of a potential Sarah Palin run for the presidency. In self-deprecating fashion, Krauthammer says he wears Palin's "hoity-toity" comment as a badge of honor.
"She is very smart and adept. Great political instincts and is a star. The problem with her, I think, is that she is not schooled. I don't mean she didn't go to the right schools. I mean when you get into policy, beyond instincts -- I like her political instincts, I like her political overall view of the world -- but when it comes to policy, she had two-and-a-half years to school herself and she hasn't and that's a problem," Charles Krauthammer told Bill O'Reilly on Tuesday. "It's not only the lack of schooling, it's the lack of effort to school herself and the lack of insight to see that she needs it."

I got that point about it’s not which school she attended.
On the point about being unschooled in policy, he does not know what she has studied and what she knows.
But even more, he fails to see that we Americans don’t need an education in some things to know a few basics.
They all hooted and hollered when she predicted “death panels” in Obamacare. Common sense told her and us that rationing care for the elderly was where this was headed, where it had no choice but to go.
She was right, Chuck.
"And when I asked if she had any Grey Poupon, she flipped me off!"
What is worse, “O” has so much arrogance and misguided self-importance that he feels he doesn't need to defer to ANY thing or any one. Consequently, his policy errors and omissions result from a pathetic, self deluded notion that HE is always right
ENOUGH with the arbitrary qualifiers!!! Any one the Conservatives run against “O” is automatically more fit for the Presidency if their ONLY recommendation is that they DO NOT possess such abysmal and idiotic narcissism.
excellent
Do you have a link for that quote? Is he advocating for a gun ban or analyzing the situation?
Charles is letting his elitist facination with his own credentials dazzle himself. I dare say Palin knows more about how “policy” affects the average American than does the cloistered Krauthammer.
Thanks for saying that without resorting to silly name calling. Good post.
I think it died when he suspended his campaign to go back to Washington and vote the same way as Obama on TARP. The American public knew at that moment that there was no candidate representing them in the race. Even the effing Libertarian was a global warmer for God’s sake.
Without proper foreign policy schooling, President Palin might give Israel away to those dedicated to its destruction.
Oh. Wait.
Krauthammer is a bad person because he is a poser.
He poses as a doctor but did not diagnose the
sociopath in chief because it helped ... Krauthammer.
He poses as a RINO when he is hard core DNC
from Mondale direct to Obama.
His misogyny is obvious.
His backstabbing is obvious.
I was channel surfing this morning to different cable news stations and they were all talking about Sarah. LOL She must be laughing so hard at them. They hate her yet can’t get enough of her. She is playing them like the proverbial fiddle!
Actually Ted Baxter is far more insulting to Palin.
O’Reilly (and I’m paraphrasing): “She simply doesn’t know about the world. She has trouble with historical frames of reference (Cold War, Korean War, Muslims).
After listening to this, I’d be surprised if she ever showed up on his show again.
>>What he means is that, for better or worse, she doesn’t know US policies and why they exist, and the consequences of their existence or removal.<<
Compared to whom?
Gotta love her.
We’ve already done tried “schooled” - pretty much how we got in this mess to begin with.
>>What he means is that, for better or worse, she doesn’t know US policies and why they exist, and the consequences of their existence or removal.<<
Like our energy policy? :D
You got that right! bttt
Charles is PRO-ABORTION..nuff said.
