Watching the video of Sarah Palins appearance with William Shatner on the Tonight Show with Conan OBrien, the one word that came to mind was style. Yet, there was more to it than that.
After all, she entered the arena of late night television, a stage that has excoriated her routinely the enemy camp as Chris Matthews might say. Mrs. Palin's has been scoffed at before by Mr. OBrien. The show has featured William Shatner mocking Mrs. Palins tweets by reading them as dramatic recitations.
Still, Mrs. Palin handled her appearance with the aplomb of Beyonce at the MTV Video Music Awards. She exuded the charm of Sophia Loren; the dignity of a Katharine Hepburn.
The blend of these qualities, with the feistiness and intellect of Margaret Thatcher and the forty-something feminine beauty of a Demi Moore, is what makes Mrs. Palin so dangerous to the political establishments of both parties.
She has a certain manner, an allure about her that has endeared her to a wide swath of the American public in a short period of time. She is upsetting a lot of apple carts and the entrenched politicos resent it. They have directed their fire at her.
Indeed, Mrs. Palin has weathered a torrent of vitriol. While her primary critics are liberal Democrats, the bien-pensants of both parties fear and loathe her.
This was evinced recently by Michael Petrillis hortatory article in the Wall Street Journal. Petrillis haughty piece titled, Whole Foods Republicans, had this to say about Mrs. Palin, there's Sarah Palin, whose entire brand is anti-intellectual.
Mr. Petrillis remarks about Mrs. Palins supporters echoed what liberals have said about military personnel in Iraq (Senator John Kerry, D-Mass.: you get stuck in Iraq) and the audience of the Limbaugh show.

Yea, you want the mods to know that he threatened me physically.
I didn’t turn him into the mods because we have agreed on most conservative issues in the past.
btw, the offer to “meet and settle this” and the expletive, which is in my email accout was funny. Why would you want that made public.
I’m an 82nd Airborne vet and former middlweight Division runnerup in boxing....It would be murder.
Your post was off topic and needed no refutation. Your premise had already been rejected and you pressed on despite. Your panties sure are in a wad.
I thought you were calling it a night?
Just can’t drag yourself away from FR, I know the feeling.
Off topic for a moment, being a fellow West Virginian (try not to cringe too much at our having something in common, lol) what part of the State are you in?
Those 30 inches of snow in that picture made me shiver!
Btw, Kayaker,
in the hills of Western Maryland, we got 20 inches and it’s still coming down and expected to until at least 6AM.
What part of the Wild and Wonderful WestVirginny do you live in?

What exactly does this mean? Especially in light of the fact that Beyonce has 2,600,000 plus, Britney Spears has 2,400,000 plus and our dear fearless leader has 9,000,000 plus supporters on FaceBook.
btw...over 123,000,000 Americans voted last November. Sarah's much vaunted FB fans amount to less than 1% of that number.
So, please explain why you trot this out so often.
“Your post was off topic and needed no refutation. Your premise had already been rejected and you pressed on despite. Your panties sure are in a wad.”
That wasn’t my post.
Hard to see Maggie Thatcher quitting anything.
Well you said you live in WVA, I live close by..in Cumberland,Md....just a skip over the Potomac to WVirginny.
Come get some and find out.
LOL, NOW who is making threats?!?
Miller, you’re a real prize.
Where’s the threat?
“Come get some and find out”, I doubt you were referring to your supply of Grey Poupon, lol
I like coarse seeded grey poupon.
Ya know, somehow that doesn’t surprise me one bit.
I’m gonna emulate WVK here at least in the sleep department and call it a night.
It’s been fun, see ya around Champ.
Well, now that we have all decided to kill each other, could we at least postpone it until I can ruin some of Obama’s Civilian Security Force Mau Mau’s. I have a feeling CW2 is coming up this year, and I am ready for some fun ;-)
First things first.
The Dems claim to have 60 votes on ObamaCare.
Locked and loaded!
In the meantime, Cowboys 14, Saints 0. 2nd quarter. DVR engaged. G’nite! I’ll probably sleep in the Barcolounger!
Refute this.
