Sneakeasy/sarah palin

As everyone should know by now AP got its hands on the Palin Book, Going Rogue, and set about to, um, "Fact Check" it.

A blog that supports Palin has taken the time, that many in the Mainstream Media won't, to Fact Check the AP, and they do so in quite convincing fashion.

I plan to read the book, and watch her interviews in coming weeks, and judge her for myself, which is the only right thing to do.

Leave it Ann to nail it. ;-D

Go Sarah! ;-D

FROM THE ARTICLE:

"Reporters had already written their stories on Palin's press conference -- "rambling!" "incoherent!" -- before she even stepped to the podium.

Whatever you think of Palin, her argument for resigning was the opposite of "rambling" and "incoherent."

Palin's basketball analogy couldn't have been clearer, even to prissy liberal pundits who get uncomfortable when the subject turns to sports: She decided to destroy the other team's game plan, which has been to obsessively focus on her, by resigning.

This is particularly apt here -- she's passing the ball to a fantastic right-wing lieutenant governor, who shares her principles but doesn't set off the left's neuroses.

This is better for him, better for the state, better for the conservative program and better for Palin personally, whose family is sick of all the crap. Now she can make a lot of money and promote conservatism on a national stage."

Palin's Appeal Proves Durable?

If the self-annointed "Paper of Record" says it's true, then it MUST be true!

Um, hee, hee! ;-D

The number of comments is massive, and the Lefties there are being surrounded by Palinistas, much to the consternation of some. ;-D

Team Sarah is a diverse coalition of women, AND men, dedicated to advancing Sarah Palin's Vice Presidential candidacy.

FROM THE ARTICLE:

"Sarah Palin has, whether she likes it or not, transcended the status of an actual human being to become a symbol in American politics and culture.

A symbol of what, exactly, is still being contested."

An excellent, thoughtful, essay that takes on all sides, Left, and Right, that have issues with Sarah Palin.

My THUMBS UP is for the eloquent Raking Over the Coals, this, too tired, or too afraid, to fight the good fight, Conservative Pundit, is receiveing in the Comments Forum, from hundreds of ouraged, and offended, Conservatives who do not have the platform, and influence she will soon wich she could still wield.

ONE EXAMPLE COMES FROM A LONGTIME FRIEND OF MINE, WHOSE OPINIONS I ADMIRE, AND WHOSE ADVICE AND ENCOURAGEMENT I CHERISH...

I AGREE WITH EVERY WORD:

"TO A FEMALE JACKAL IN WINTER

Washed-up has-been, wrinkled and aging, bereft of real power and access, now a cranky irrelevant gummer grousing about popular and real youth and beauty in your vile, toothless last hurrah just two weeks before the election. Your treacherous timing is exceeded only by your imagined hubris, Miss Piggy, er, Peggy.

You can't put Palin in one of your tired cliché boxes, but this is your personal mental failure, not Governor Palin's. It's about the values, stupid.

Thanks for your final Declarations, darling. I now know to skip over whatever you write as quickly as I avoid Gary Trudeau's 'toons and Michael Moore's movies.

Goodbye, vapid old woman, goodbye. Here's hopin' the WSJ drops your rant pieces like a hot potato. I am so weary of your exhausted metaphors.

I wish you well, but I can't wish you luck. Bummer. But, tellin' the truth, I frankly don't believe you give a damn."

A very thought provoking essay, guaranteed to rile up Conservatives, and make them think about where things stand, and how McCain/Palin should, or should not proceed from here.
