That headline writer for the New York Amsterdam News needs to take a remedial course in English. Sarah Paline? Really? Otherwise, 2ndDivisionVet, thanks as always for posting about Sarah Palin.

Yes!

The article itself was mostly fair and factual. I couldn't help but notice that this black-owned newspaper just had to draw a parallel between Obama and Sarah Palin regarding Jeremy Lin.

The Amsterdam News seems to be a sloppy operation. Not only did the typo in the headline draw my attention, but the biographical page for the author, Richard Carter, is just a template. They need to consult with John Robinson to learn how to properly design web content.

I’ve heard his Brother Jim Robinson knows even more about web content.

Despite resigning as governor after two years

The media created the new reality of rounding 32 months down to 24, instead of up to 36, as if they needed to round off 32 months, any way.

I did not know that. So much for my correction.

You learn something new on FR every day.

After the Republicans went down in flames in the presidential election—leaving the party in shambles—Palin reinvented herself.

The next election the GOP made historical gains.

Palin helped create that, she never stopped fighting, and weeks after the November loss was instrumental in a Governor's run-off race, and she kept fighting, the longer she fought and survived, the more bold other Republican office holders became, and the tea party came along.

Palin was a lone warrior for the first few months after 2008, she never let up from the 2008 campaign, and I have always wondered where we would be if she had not been there to pick up the conservative movement after the Obama phenomena and with Romney being the assigned leader of a broken GOP party.

There's no disputing that!

By the way, you may enjoy reading (or perhaps re-reading) Happy 40th Anniversary Sheila & Jim Robinson posted by DollyCali and attributed to "Your son John!!! (via Facebook)". It gives more insight into a great family of American Patriots.

Fey is a nobody - who WATCHES “30 Rock”? Yet, it garnered an Emmy. Reminded me of the Dixie Chicks (aka the two sisters and the little fat one) “winning” all those music awards - WHO bought their music after they whined about country music fans’ turning away from them en masse after Maines’ reprehensible concert comments overseas. Political correctness is all it amounts to. Moore? another FADING celeb. It’s about like Behar - FAILED teacher, FAILED comedianne.... so she now is a self-proclaimed mental giant in politics and social issues. “I have a maaaastaaaah’s degree” she nasally whines. DeGeneres - FAILED actress, FAILED comedianne - “oh, wait, I’ll ‘come out’ as a lesbian - THAT’ll springboard my carreer. Jane Lynch - ditto. Rosie O’Fata*s - she was possibly the first such PC foundering career type who pulled this (although O’Donnell has coke-snorting Okra Windbag behind her - every time the Beluga whale flops, Winfrey props her back up. I’ll NEVER forget how Tom Selleck took her down on national TV. It surprised me that the liberal network allowed it to be seen.

We like her because she’s smart and beautiful. We’ve come to love her because she talks the talk and walks the walk. She lives her beliefs. She’s the anti-Obama not because of the policies she advocates, but because of her character.

Sarah Palin is the embodiment of the notion that conservatism is right, correct, and operative as a way to think and as a way to live.

She didn’t reinvent herself after the election, she didn’t need to. Her steadfast conviction enables her to speak freely, and without a teleprompter. This makes her unusual as a politician, and it’s so refreshing.

The left hates her because she had that baby, but we know it’s their own self-loathing that is the genesis of this hatred.

She makes them feel dirty.

They fear her because abortion is at once the foundation of their ideology, and its Achilles heel. They feel utterly threatened by her because her life exposes their tenuous hold on the moral high ground, which they absolutely must maintain, or lose their power.

I agree with your sentiment...but

It seems more like Fey is at the zenith of her career.

“30 Rock” is already in syndication and airs - at least 10 times between 4 and midnight on various FOX channels.

She’s also a “Cover Girl” - that ad is on every day during the Hota/Kathy>Soap Opera slot. If there is a human being on TV more than Fey...I’m not aware of it.

Did anyone notice how Fey stole Palin’s “sexy librarian” glasses for her new Cover Girl ad?

WHERE was Fey before the SNL thing? Yes, she’s now famous and making big bucks - but WHO and WHERE was she before her talantless im personations?
