George Will has in the past demonstrated intellectual disdain for conservatives that he deems unrefined in advancing conservative principles. His assault on Sarah Palin today is over the top. Does George Will think Sarah Palin is untrustworthy of presiding over our nuclear arsenal? Why would he make this statement if only to imply that Palin is mentally unhinged and therefore unsuited for office?
George Will has contributed mightily to the conservative movement in a scholarly role, like a professor to a student. But like most students admire the intellect of the teachers they ultimately shed the presumptions of the ivory tower when confronted with daily reality. George Will has a place, but like so many beltway pundits he has narrow conditions for "acceptable" conservatism. George Will's opinion of Sarah Palin is well known,his larger opinion of her Presidential prospects may be valid, but we need to see him for what he is: a great man with many opinions well spoken from the ivory towers of Sunday Morning commentary. I share his opinion of Sarah Palin's prospects, but to imply she would ill serve to such an extent as play with nuclear fire is the worst sort of commentary disguised as intellect. It is his equivalent "daisy ad" that LBJ ran against Barry Goldwater. Sarah Palin has been subject to intense ridicule, but this is the worst yet. She deserves better. The conservative movement deserves better. THe video can be seen at http://www.mediaite.com/tv/george-will-everyone-knows-sarah-palin-should-not-be-trusted-with-nuclear-weapons/

We've tried it your way already, George, and look where it got us.
And the explosion goes "poof".
Will must be trying to impress the media.
George Will? Wasn’t he in silent pictures and used to be big? Or was that Norma Desmond?
You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, “Who is that man?”
You try so hard
But you don’t understand
Just what you’ll say
When you get home
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You raise up your head
And you ask, “Is this where it is?”
And somebody points to you and says
“It’s his”
And you say, “What’s mine?”
And somebody else says, “Where what is?”
And you say, “Oh my God
Am I here all alone?”
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, “How does it feel
To be such a freak?”
And you say, “Impossible”
As he hands you a bone
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations
You’ve been with the professors
And they’ve all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You’ve been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books
You’re very well read
It’s well known
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, “Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan”
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word “NOW”
And you say, “For what reason?”
And he says, “How?”
And you say, “What does this mean?”
And he screams back, “You’re a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home”
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin’ around
You should be made
To wear earphones
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Someone needs to tell George that Mitch Daniels isn’t running anymore. It’s over.
If Sarah chooses to go the GOP route, and is nominated, I predict that at least 40% of Republican elected officials and party chairmen will endorse Obama.
Yes, it has gotten that bad, and it is a reason for her to look outside of the GOP.
George Will has in the past demonstratedintellectualdisdain for conservativesthat he deems unrefined in advancing conservative principles.
I have never cared for Wills since I reads an editorial he wrote back in 1982 that the movie, ET, would turn children anti-science.
I care less for him now.
George Will is elitist beltway scum. He’s afraid of Palin, the Tea Party, and all such ‘lowbrow’ denizens encroaching his DC airspace. He can go burn in hell. If he’s representative of the GOP Establishment, I’d like nothing better than thrust a dagger into its heart.
you know we listened to the like of him and look what we got!
Obviously that should be read and not reads
