...This is Palin Week--days of interviews relating to the publication of her book, "Going Rogue."... Someone will point out that she is even scheduled soon to 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.
And this being the case, the Institute for the Study of Sarah Palin should look into how she was chosen by John McCain as his vice presidential running mate--and why McCain, given absolute proof of abominable judgment and the sort of sorry political opportunism he built a career decrying, has not repaired to a monastery and taken a vow of absolute silence because almost anything he has to say post-Palin has to be judged by his choice of her.
A further area of study ought to deal with the mind-set of McCain's former campaign aides who continue to criticize Palin for not turning out to be the mute puppet they had so hoped she would be. That she went rogue I have no doubt--but this was only after they went stupid and helped pick her in the first place. They live in political ignominy for not resigning from the campaign when it counted....

Yes. And she would enter those meeting with a functioning moral compass, an understanding of American Exceptionalism and the best interests of her countrymen at heart. More than I can say for the current callow and inexperienced buffoon currently bowing and scraping his way through Asia.
Guess what Dick? They can’t believe that Obama is engaging in a protracted review of the Afghanistan policy, either!
Mr. Cohen, here’s a lemon, why don’t you go suck on it.
How they hate her.
The more they attack her, the more I am inclined to see her in a favorable light. I have some few doubts about her ‘gravitas’ (a word that seems to be back in vogue) but anyone who can strike such fear into the hearts of so many liberals must be doing something very, very right.
What a hate filled piece of filth Cohen is.
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?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is pure crap.
Srah Palin has major ionternational experience, having already conducted extesive negotions betweem Alaska , Russia, South Korea, Japan , and China on home porting in the fishing and shippig industry. As a matter of fact Palin is well respected and liked in Japan , for example.
This is just plain character assassination on the part of the WAPO whacko left.
Palin still has more internatonal experience than Obama has after he has been 10 months in office.Obamas idiocy internationally shows this fact.Palin would have been doing a much better job as president than Obama will ever be able to do.
“...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?...”
D*med straight. She’d do fine. She uses things called “common sense” and “logic”. Things that are bred out of students taking our standard liberal marshmallow courses. And things that are apparently banned in law schools.
It is amazing, though, that they consider Palin so stupid and insignificant but spend so much of their time on the subject. It's an obsession, and an ugly one...
Is there anyone in the press who has anything good to say about Palin except maybe Susan on Fox News?
I’m worried about the appearance of lack of gravitas. I have all the faith in the world that she would make good decisions and has the intelligence to assess complex problems. But her demeanor - her way of speaking - well, I wish she came off more like Liz Cheney. I think this especially matters because she’s so good looking.
This is a very nasty piece by Cohen. He should have been honest and called it “I hate Republicans.”
LOL, Panglag Talagunta Mapappa Gin Rahnifatakaturanga!
Someone better tell Uncle Cohen that Gov. Palin was the ONLY member of either presidential ticket that had actually sat down and negotiated an agreement involving a foreign country, prior to the election.
Dumbass...
I’m looking forward to seeing John McCain say, “Congratulations, President Palan.”
Heck, the Compost dedicated a large chunk of its 'Style' section to Sarah this morning. Not bad for someone the rag declared as "all washed up" back in July.
Good one.
And I can promise Uncle Dick Cohen that there is no way on God’s green earth that Palin would be “dithering” three months after being asked for more troops in Afghanistan.
Or that she’d let KSM be tried in NYC in civilian court.
Come to think of it, all of the things that are worrying and pissing off Americans, would not be happening now if Palin were in charge.
Pompous little man ain’t he?
Has he (Richard Cohen) ever signed a pay check?
Or ran anything? Served as CEO of, oh say an entire state?
No? Like I said pompous little man.
This arrogant clown named Richard Cohen is a prime example of the Beltway mentality and why the Rockefeller, country club, nose-in-the-air, self-important, self-anointed Republican elites are such a negative element in the party. They displayed the same attitude toward Reagan and conservatives in general. Don't know if this clown is a Republican, but he does display the attitudes and ignorance common to the party's self-appointed elites.
You mean the way that the oil companies and politicians were out of control in Alaska and she got them all by the scruff of the neck and got them in line? How the pipeline that was not getting built is now being built?
Why is it that the woman who has a history of taking on challenges and mastering them gets questioned and the fool who has mastered nothing gets a free pass? I not only can picture here in the situation. I see her doing a hell of a lot better job for the US position than our current president.
BTW, His wife, Barbara ,(a former CBS news producer-there’s a surprise, eh?) is familiar to me through a friend of the family. They’re both leftover 60s archetypal lefty media snots who exist in the Beltway media cocoon where nary a discouraging word of hard left Dem politics is heard.
Sarah still got your sphincter puckered , eh, steve-b?
LOL.Sarah’s still got your sphincter puckered , eh, steve-b?
It's called the "Wal-Mart strategy". It seemed to have worked pretty darned well for ole Sam. Secure an overwhelming base in "flyover country" and then assault the urban areas.
It is the people she has actually dealt with that know her as "Sarah Barracuda", not the the ones has given speeches to. That's the way it should be. I find it amazing that everything gets turned 180 on this woman. She has a great track record and get's faulted for "no track record". She is known for being tough as nails by her opponents and gets faulted for sounding soft.
Everything today seems to get measured as symbolism over substances. I'll take substance any day, and this lady has substance out the wazoo! If she is willing to lead the charge, I'll be happy to cover her back.
I for one will be perfectly happy to have everything John McCain has done and said post August 29, 2008 judged in light of the Palin nomination...as long as Rich Cohen’s willing to have everything Barack Obama has done and said since August 22, 2008 judged in light of the Joe Biden nomination. I doubt he’s all that keen.
Nope.
Given that 0bozo single handledly quadrupled our deficit in just one year. Maybe its not the Japanese emperor 0bozo should be bowing down to. He should b bwowinbg to the Chinese instead.
“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”
0bozo didn't even know where Georgia(ex Soviet Union) was, when he was community organizer in chief in Chicago. That never stopped him from running for president though.
