I like Sarah Palin, but she gets much more praise here than she deserves. She’s been compared to a variety of people here from Reagan to Washington, from Esther to Joan of Arc. A few freepers have posted lists of Palin comparisons more ridiculous than even those. I assure you that those comparisons are real. I made none of them up. As far as I can determine, they are not whimsical, humorous comparisons. They are serious comparisons.
