“To make Tonys point look at Mark Sanford.It was a big story.But its already run its course.”
Excellent point, same for Ensign (sp.). Both should gone from their posts - and the media would normally be driving them out. But the media could care less about Sanford, after all he’s the governor of a hick-state (in their opinion - but definitely not mine), and is truly washed up as a prez candidate...no need to denigrate him - bigger fish to fry. Ensign would normally be driven from office...but there’s a Republican Governor in Nevada, why waste their time.
Now Sarah is “washed up” according to them...but they still cannot leave her or her family alone. They know what I know...which is that Sarah could run as social conservative and NEVER have to say the word abortion, God, or anything else to PROVE that she’s a social conservative. She’s got that locked down already. So now she can reach out to the middle and bring them in...remind you of anyone? That is why they are SCARED TO DEATH of her.
As I posted on another thread about the hit piece Noonan has in the WSJ, quoting:
"What she is, is a seemingly very nice middle-class girl with ambition, appetite and no sense of personal limits." So said Noonan of Palin!
In making such a sweeping judgments of a woman who actually has done something, as opposed to just writing about things, makes their judgments simply irrelevant.
Noonan, in retrospect, like a chameleon, may have absorbed the glow of Reagan, heard his ideas which he so clearly expressed, and was able to put them to paper in such a manner that she accumulated an overblown resume--one which has followed her till today.
She has overstepped her own "personal limits" in her analysis of Palin, the millions of Americans who understand Palin well, and in where her small mind believes Palin will be in the future. By so doing, she has revealed things about herself which she may not have intended.
In Laura Ingraham's interview with Quinn on Oreilly this week, Quinn did the same thing. Her pettiness and irrational conclusions simply revealed her own bias.

“... on July 3, fellow politically professional panelists were pointing out on-air how stupid Palin was to put forward her big story on a late Friday afternoon during a three-day holiday weekend. Everyone “knows” one buries a story that way.
“It became my grim duty to remind my fellow interlocutors — in case they had not noticed — that all the cable news shows were dropping their programming to switch to wall-to-wall coverage of the Palin announcement and that we were, at that moment, telling a national audience that the story we were talking about was being buried. The story persisted and expanded over that weekend, and my guess is that if any political topic came up at America’s millions of Fourth of July backyard barbecue parties, it was probably Sarah Palin. So, who’s the fool?”

Tony has everything in this article dead on. I know I discussed Sarah with people on July4 weekend...
The thing is, they’ve been so vicious to Sarah and her family that she is now fairly well insulated. What else can they say? It’s all old news now, including the fact that the media is willing to say or do anything to try to bring her down.
They did the same to President Reagan, and, it afforded HIM the same protection. “Teflon President” was originally a frustrated ridicule that they couldn’t make any of their inane antics stick.
Come campaign for me, SARAH! We love you in TEXAS! Besides, my mom made me promise that I’d introduce her to you, if I get the chance . . .
Excellent, Tony!
