Reminder: This is the Salt Lake City newspaper, hence the Mitt Romney talk.

Some folks, left and right, are scared, really scared of Sarah Palin. Don’t you love it?

Well I wonder if that he does not get a major news personality is a clue to this guy that he should seek out a new profession? He is probably not smart enough to take that clue.

But what I really don't get is Sarah Palin.

If you "don't get" the subject, why should anyone read your column on it? Your expertise seems suspect right there.

But please call us when you do get it, because "it" might be something significant that you just aren't smart enough to "get."

I don't get why banks are making it so hard to get a loan when the main reason the economy is staggering is because people can't get loans.

I have the answer to that. Banks aren't making loans because federal bank examiners are going over their balance sheets with a fine tooth comb. Journalists wouldn't understand this type of cause and effect because it involves the private sector. But surprise, surprise - when the feds start subjecting banks to intense scrutiny, that type of activity tends to make bank officers very nervous about making new loans.

Mania for Sarah Palin is a big mystery (to this jourbalist)

"Gerbilist" was misspelled.

I could ask the same question:
“what fuels the Obama express”
Another reason banks don't loan money cause people don't have a job. That has always been a question on a loan app.
how will you pay this loan back and where do you work and for how long.

Do you know if this guy is related to former Mormon President Ezra Taft Benson? IIRC, the Benson family are big supporters of Mitt Romney which would explain the writer’s obvious prejudice against Gov. Palin.

This columnist is an avid bike rider. Nuff said.

But what I really don't get is Sarah Palin.

What these anti-Palin people don't get is basic arithmetic and the reality of this most perilous time in the history of the nation.

If they had lived outside their sheltered existence for the past couple of decades, and up through this communist takeover, they would already know; they would "get it".

Landslide conservative wins in next year's congressional elections, and Palin being elected in 2012 (or someone with very similar conservative principles), just might keep the USA from degenerating into a Dark Age, Mad Max type of existence. That existence will not work very well for the wine & caviar crowd, at all.

I don’t get how such a boring writer gets printed. I couldn’t even bring myself to click the link to read the rest of the article, I was so bored.

He got it the other way round.
With no Sarah Palin, Tina Fey's TV series suffered big ratings declines.
By contrast, with no Fey, Sarah Palin sold more books non-fiction in one week/two weeks, than anyone this year, and has the second biggest selling first week sales political memoir in the history of this country..soon to be the top selling political memoir ever, and have Oprah her highest ratings in 2 years.
Guess who is the real star here.

Mob scenes like the one at Costco are being replicated all across the country. The book has already sold over a million copies! In three weeks!”

That's two weeks to you Benson. And they are not "mobs".

she told a bunch of misleading untruths, if not outright lies, .............. bought a lot of clothes on other people's credit cards”

The guy is talking about 0bama here right?

As far as I am concerned, this guy can go straight to hell. That is probably where he will end up anyway, so he may as well get an early start.

It’s not that he doesn’t get Sarah. He’s just a liberal who fears and hates her, pretending that he doesn’t get her.
