The Problems With Palin (She hasn't been thru the wringer like Myth, T-Paw and Newt)

The Wall Street Journal ^ | June 3, 2011 | Kimberley A. Strassel

Seriously?

[Talisker]

Her fans have come to view her as the living antithesis of everything they find offensive—the mainstream media, cultural elites, out-of-touch Washington. She so embodies this role that it is no longer clear whether her backers support her in her own right or support her because they so dislike what she dislikes.

LOL, see what Kimberly-of-J-School hath wrought for her theme.

It's, like, logic.

But not.

[GeronL]

WHat dimension is this article from??

[avacado]

Good grief! They (MSM, liberals, GOP elites) so want to put Sarah into their neat little box of what they think is best. All the while shaking in their collective boots at the juggernaut Palin has become. Regardless of who runs for the GOP ticket, if it's not Palin, they are going to have to go through Palin and kiss her ass. She has built a rock solid base that no one can win without their support and her approval.

I remember what wringers were for and why the term “put through the wringer” meant...”your all WET”...another old term meaning your full of crap...
Well..in all do respect...if your not full of crap then why run you through the wringer?
Makes sense to me...

Women (this author) hate more than men.

Nobody has had more personal scrutiny and given less credit for her tenure in office.

The WSJ is lousy. IBD is usually good.

[4rcane]

in 3 years, she took more than mitt, tpall, newt took combined in their life time

[Finalapproach29er]

correction: strongly dislike Palin....

[LasVegasMac]

It's, like, logic.

But not.

I just might be borrowing that.

I'll find out out how we get that added to Webster's def of Liberalism.

Another WSJ hatchet job on Palin. If they succeed in nominating another squishy Democrat-Lite, she really ought to run on a third party ticket and mortally wound the Ruling Class elite.

They wouldn’t have the House, or the Senate, or the White House after the election. And BO would have another four years to tax the rich and confiscate industries. Perhaps the WSJ should think about that possibility.

[pepperdog]

“at the hands of conservatives focused on obtaining a competent nominee”

should read “at the hands of rinos and closet liberals focused on obtaining a compliant nominee”

[lurk]

Yeah, she hasn’t had death threats, phone harassment, pernicious lawsuits, personal harassment, visual encroachment on her property, tabloid slander, media slander, and tell-all books by would-be sons-in-law like the others have had to endure.

[9YearLurker]

To be fair, Brooks and Rove and Krauthammer and Frum have all been hateful—and they are all men.

It’s more the East Coast, privileged GOP Establishment, male and female, who are scared to death of her.

[heye2monn]

Strassel is a secular conservative. She is all for tax cuts and has been critical of pro-lifers.

[9YearLurker]

And since she’s with the WSJ I’m sure she’s pro illegal immigration as well.

[Sea Parrot]

So do I, G_D how I came to hate Monday wash days. After hand cranking the bloody thing many a day, 60 years later I still have very strong and prejudiced feelings about all things that look like a manual wringer.

“To be fair, Brooks and Rove and Krauthammer and Frum have all been hateful—and they are all men.”

Are you sure that Brooks and Frum are men?

[9YearLurker]

Well, in that effeminate, metrosexual kind of way.

[Nonstatist]

Yeah well, maybe she makes some good points. Palin certainly isnt running away with the nomination right now, is she?

[DJ MacWoW]

Did I miss something? Has she said she’s running and the nominating has begun? Hm?
