Wow. The knee jerk responses here are something else.
This is a good article. I think she’s right. Spot-on, perhaps.
Go back and read it again.
you flatter yourself to think that others aren’t “getting” her article. her cautioning against over-confidence is spot on. her referring to Gov. Palin as a “beautiful” girl, not addressing her by her title, and her overheard hot mic comments show the condescension with which she refers to her. anything she says now will be read through the prism of what we know about how she really feels about Gov. Palin.
I read the whole column before seeing it here on FR, and I wouldn’t be surprised if many other Freepers had as well.
Here’s the paragraph that ticked me off:
“More important, obviously, the race shouldn’t be over. The nation deserves—and requires—a real debate, a real and spirited presenting of fact and argument. It won’t get that if the election is over. The candidates must argue this thing out or it means nothing. And the day after the election, for the winner in this tempestuous nation, it better mean something, or he won’t be able to govern.”
This reads like a threat. Fight fair John McCain or you won’t be able to govern. Fight fair or we’ll hold our breath.
What in the hell is she talking about? Will Democrats walk out of the House and the Senate and boycott the institutions of government. Will municipal employees and Washington bureaucrats go on a sick-out for the next four years?
Isn’t it possible that political life will go on, pretty much as before?
Peggy, I’ve got a great big bitch-slap here that I’m just dying to give you.
My thoughts exactly. Wonder if some responding to this thread have even read the article?
