She Who Must Not Be Named (Blow swears off covering Governor Palin, or so he claims)
The New York Times ^ | December 3, 2010 | Charles M. Blow

This is it. This is the last time I’m going to write the name Sarah Palin until she does something truly newsworthy, like declare herself a candidate for the presidency. Until then, I will no longer take part in the left’s obsessive-compulsive fascination with her, which is both unhealthy and counterproductive.

She’s the Zsa Zsa Gabor of American politics. She once did something noteworthy, but she’s now just famous for being famous.

She was a vice presidential nominee. But she lost. She was the governor of Alaska. But she quit. Now she’s just a political personality — part cheerleader, part bomb-thrower — being kept afloat in part by the hackles of her enemies and the people who admire her resilience in the face of them. The left’s outsize and unrelenting assault on her has made her a folk hero. The logic goes that if she’s making people on the left this upset, she must be doing something right.

I love how these writers states their opinions as facts. I think Sarah is sharp as a tack, a lot smarter than Hussein. The only dull moves she made were allowing interviews by noted hacks Charles Gibson and Katie Couric.

Just LOOK at this mutant. As Mr. Rogers would say, “Can you say affirmative action...for incurably stupid people?” Sure you can. Can’t you just imagine the smug ass grins on the NYTs as they hire some black nitwit passed through the system JUST so they can claim diversity? Here, BLOW THIS YOU MORON!

We do need a military mind in the White House. I agree that Florida Congressman Lt. Colonel Allen West would be an excellent choice. He has two years to get name recognition. The Tea Party is behind him and to have Sarah Palin on the ticket would be a brilliant move.
