In her latest book, "America by Heart," Sarah Palin knits together an eclectic list of philosophers, pop stars, Founding Fathers and politicians, invoking everyone from Plato to Juno in what many see as a platform for a potential presidential run in 2012.
No one, however, was more surprised to be on that list than Luigi Zingales, a somewhat obscure University of Chicago finance professor, whose pro-market policies and staunch defense of unfettered American capitalism were used by Palin to batter the Obama administration and set the table for her own economic priorities.

Very flustrating.
Ha! She has got ‘em by the short hairs and she is twistin’ em! Too funny!
>they’re stuck in 2008 and “I can see Russia from my porch”
Heh. Democrats don’t have knowledge or wisdom or God, so they ridicule endlessly.
2012 will hit them like a mack truck.
Wow. I’m pretty up on my anti-conventional-wisdom economists and even I’m not familiar with this guy. Very impressive.

Well said and so true. I was stunned at the number and range of the
References she used in her book.
The left has no idea what is about to hit them.
Ah a REAL University of Chicago professor, unlike Obama
They probably wanted the economist to “refudiate” Sarah Palin. Probably a bit miffed that he did not do so.
Great new word, "refudiate", LOL.
A cross between "repudiate" and "refute", I presume. Did Sarah invent it?
Shakespeare like to coin new words, too.

I got refudiated once. It required 3 days of bed rest before I felt like myself again.
I saw him iterviewed on Fox News. He was pleased as punch and quite surprised to learn that Sarah Palin has quoted him in her book but he said that she got it right.
Well, his career at the University of Chicago is finished.
Or at least his social life there is.
They've been trying to do to Sarah what they did to Dan Quayle and it ain't workin' this time around!

So what you’re saying is that Sarah could have been Shakespeare? If only she decided to apply her talents in that direction probably.
Why can’t she just be allowed to admire people like The Bard or The Gipper, instead of us having to say she is better than them?
