It is indeed insane. Palin evokes the ideal that America used to represent, moreso than anyone who’s been on the political scene in eons. Her self-made route, her frontier-style independence, her refusal to bow down and be corrupted the usual political forces (interest groups, the media, Party machinery, etc.), her strong faith, her devotion to family, and her basic indefatigability in light of all the constant forces out to destroy her.
The fact that this kind of amazingly admirable woman is greeted with such astonishing, red-hot hatred and venom in modern American society is a very telling indication to me of how deeply America has fallen into the abyss. Indeed, the reaction I’ve witnessed ever since her big appearance on the scene in 2008, has thoroughly re-arranged my opinion on America as a whole, including its long-term survival. And (obviously), not for the better.
There's a nice little vignette in Ailes' new book w/ Roger putting down candidate Obama bigtime.
Ailes saw through O's lies in a face-to face.
Ailes told O----"I saw a candidate on TV said what you just denied. He sounded like you. Looked like you. I think it was you."

Book also has a nice pic of Roger w/ Pres Reagan.
