...Did she offer any pearls of wisdom about how in the hell we're going to get Ryan's budget passed wihile the GOP remains the minority party in DC?...

Now hang on - As for the questions she *was* asked, she seems to have addressed them as fully as time would allow.

But to your question, did it even come up? The answer is *no*. I didn't even spot any room where Palin could have hijacked the interview and gone off on your unrelated tangent.

Now to be sure, I would be very interested to hear her answer your question as well, but I won't fault her for not answering something that was never asked. That would make me look like a pretentious jackass, commenting on an interview I didn't even watch, hoping for the mere appearance of being "informed". You know, a *poseur*.

Yowch! Well said!

Palin is far from perfect, and I can think of two things right off the top of my head (Title IX and Koran burning) where her position is, in my opinion, wrong. But she is easily up to the 80 percent mark prescribed by Reagan, whereas Romney, Newt, Huckabee, DeMint, Pawlenty -- barely rise to 50 percent and so I reject them because their "cure" only serves to increase the ailment, put the Republican label on it, and deeply sabotage the future of the Republican party as the one that stands and fights for limited government.

It's so obvious that those who dislike Palin have to go to great lengths to find things to object to. Whereas with Newt, Romney, et al, it's easy to come up with SUBSTANTIVE grounds for dismissing them, as opposed to the kind of lightweight whining offered by such as pgkdan.
