BLANKLEY: Palin delivers sparkle, warmth

Smug sages of mainstream politics shouldn't underestimate her

###

"No new ideas." That was the most prominent of the criticisms of Sarah Palin's speech at MSNBC's too-cool-for-school "Morning Joe" on Monday. The more general critique of former Gov. Palin's future was that while she certainly had star power, she could never speak to more than a fraction of even Republicans.

The proof of the latter point was made with the evidence that many important Washington Republicans could never support her for more than cheerleader to her marginal people.

They also pointed out that she had kept out of races in Massachusetts and Virginia, where it was thought she might not help. Gosh, a lack of ego paired with shrewd political judgment - that is surely not wanted in a leader.

(In both those incidents, the president himself couldn't resist going in and contributing to his candidates' losses.)

If I hadn't still been lying in bed, I would have fallen over laughing at this summary rejection by the guardians of the existing order of the only national figure who both:

(1) unabashedly but politely criticizes President Obama where it hurts him most; and, (2) eye-catchingly articulates the central values and objectives of the about 60 percent of the public that views the current administration's actions with slack-jawed horror and fear.

MUST see .. (VIDEO) Breitbart’s Full Length Keynote Address To The First National Tea Party Convention

Andrew Breitbart is a media revolutionary. This is not a dramatic statement. It’s a reasoned conclusion based on Breitbart’s dramatic statements made during his keynote address to the 1st National Tea Party convention in Nashville, TN.

During Breitbart’s 33 minute long address, he threatens to upend the entire media establishment, calling them out on their hypocrisy while demanding they change their ways, or else.

The entire speech is available in this post and is broken down into four parts, but if you would like to view some of the highlights, you can click on any of the eight links below:

He gets it. How courageous of Joe to criticize Palin on MSDNC. He acts like he should get a medal for that, what a phony.

Pray for America and Gov Palin
