During the 2008 presidential campaign, GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin made what has turned out to be a prescient remark about the relevance of a U.S. president's resolve and its potential impact on Russia's posture with the old Soviet Union's satellite states. She observed: "After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next."
Many in the press ridiculed that notion. Among them was Blake Hounshell, who was then blogging at Foreign Policy Magazine. Characterizing Palin's notion as "strange," he wrote: "As we've said before, this is an extremely far-fetched scenario." Hounshell, now a deputy editor at Politico Magazine, has handled Palin's self-effacing Facebook "I told you so" ("I could see this one from Alaska") and pile-ons by center-right blogs too numerous to mention with tweets demonstrating the class, dignity, and good sportsmanship you would expect from the high-brow commentariat, i.e., none (HT Twitchy)...

Sounds like he needs to hike up his big girl pants.
Let’s see this guy get accused of murder like Sarah Palin did, and have his family get constantly attacked and death threat after death threat and see how he handles it..bet he cowers in the closet..Sarah Palin never did, she keeps on fighting
I stopped reading Politico about 6 months before the 2012 elections and I hear others have at some point too.
They really started stretching to and joined in on the media GOP bashing.
Why be a Progressive? It’s gotta be hard to keep all the lies straight.
AL JEEZERA!
Sarah has made all the right enemies.

Good Job Sarah, I am proud of you.
Look it was a logcal call ...it was just adding US weakness and Russia natural tendencies and geopolitical interest..
I particularly liked the one comment...
If Putin invaded Miami Beach, Obama would draw the
red line at North Carolina.
Mature, adult, and prescient experienced reasoning makes a lib child’s head explode. Nice.
LOL That guy should be the managing editor for a classified ads circular.

“Sticks & stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” There’s a Russian version of that ditty, & Putin’s humming it now.

Ha — I love it.
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
“...demonstrating the class, dignity, and good sportsmanship you would expect from the high-brow commentariat...”
Because the left is all about good sportsmanship. Oh, and forbearance.
Who was president in 1994?
Democrats are gonna get us all killed on foreign policy.
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
