Sarah Palin: A Case Study In Demagoguery (Hurl and Barf Alert!!!)
Investors.com ^ | November 16, 2009 | Left wing lunatic nut case RICHARD COHEN

Posted on 11/16/2009 6:03:36 PM PST by Kaslin

I saw the other day that George W. Bush is raising money for his proposed policy institute at Southern Methodist University. I did some research and found out that there are something like 3,000 policy institutes, most of them hosting convocations about nothing much and issuing papers no one reads.

I suggest therefore that Bush use his money to do something truly different and constructive — establish the Institute for the Study of Sarah Palin. My check is in the mail.

This is Palin Week — days of interviews relating to the publication of her book, "Going Rogue." She will appear virtually everywhere, making her usual good impression, and there will be more talk about how she might run for president. Someone will point out that she is even scheduled to soon go to Iowa — and you know what that means.

On the other hand, someone else will point out that the very week Palin is promoting her book, the current president is abroad attending meetings in Asia, including a visit with our Chinese bankers. Could those who fault Barack Obama for being callow and inexperienced imagine Palin meeting with the Chinese or, for that matter, conducting a protracted policy review about Afghanistan?

As for Pakistan, South Korea, North Korea, the Middle East and, of course, the perplexing Georgian-Abkhazian conflict — I don't think she is quite up to it all, some of those nations not being close to Alaska at all.

And who gives a crap what you think? Your thinking it, does that make it so?

Everyone seems to forget that Sarah negotiated a very tricky gas pipeline deal that had eluded settlement for well over 20 years, through a succession of “sophisticated politicians”...and won significant concessions. Who was the other side of those negotiations? $750 an hour corporate attorneys for Exxon, for BP, for Shell, ya think? Each and every one of those attorneys is on record as having been surprised at Palin’s grasp of the issues and tenacity during negotiations. And the results speak for themselves. So the snotbag little “I don’t think so’s” of these kind of girly-men who are jealous of her charisma doesn’t amount to much in my book. So 0bama is negotiating with these foreign leaders? So far, every indication I’ve seenis that he’s apologizing to them. So either you know something about a negotiating stance and what might be expected to come from a supplicating position....or you are just another liberal writer with an exaggerated opinion of himself with not a single original thought in your head and not afraid to reveal it.....who nobody gives a crap about.

It may be asking too much of Bush to put his money into something useful instead of the standard presidential monument of self-aggrandizement. This, though, is his chance: study Sarah Palin.

Whoh! BDS and PDS all wrapped into one!

Way to go, Cohen ....

How is it these people never see any demagoguery in the statements of Democrats? Some Democrats are outright liars.

I love Sarah, sent her money and will vote for her if I ever get the chance. I wish she’d hire someone to teach her to speak more like Liz Cheney.

The current President manages to get most major things wrong. Perhaps a result of being mentored by Marxist radicals.

I’m surprised this guy is allowed to sound this stupid in the pages of IBD.

Just “Wow.”

Bush deraignment syndrome will seam like the sniffles compared to the epidemic disorder Sarah Palin will inflict on the liberal masses when she officially declares.

Palin Derangement Syndrome. It’s worse than Bush Derangement Syndrome because Sarah’s not in the WH and she can’t make policy.

I’ve gotten to the point that I enjoy the catterwalling and vituperations and fulminations from the left in re Palin. It just goes to show how she keeps on coming—and how helpless they really are, especially now that she doesn’t have to protect the office of the governor anymore.

Could those who fault Barack Obama for being callow and inexperienced imagine Palin meeting with the Chinese or, for that matter, conducting a protracted policy review about Afghanistan?

I couldn't imagine Sarah looking as perfectly silly as Obama appeared before the Japanese emperor or tolerating the carefully staged news conference in an auditorium full of wooden Chinese figures. I would expect the former CINC of the AKNG to show more balls than the US CINC and make a decision (or a series of decisions) rather than feign intellect and order the secretaries and generals to start over is hardly "protracted policy review" but partisan stalling and political rope-a-dope.

There are a couple words missing from that last sentence, but I’m sure you get the idea.
