Patrick Brennan is an associate editor at National Review. As a William F. Buckley Fellow at the National Review Institute from 2011 to 2013, he covered a special election in New York’s ninth congressional district, sparred with Senator Rand Paul over who should run the Federal Reserve, and became very familiar with Mitt Romney’s tax returns. In addition to editing for the magazine and NRO, he writes on economic and fiscal policy, along with a sprinkling of foreign affairs. He also works as a part-time assistant for Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan.

In 2011, he received a degree in Classics with high honors from Harvard College, where he was managing editor of The Harvard Salient, competed on the sailing team, and served as chancellor of the Knights of Columbus council. In 2013, he was a Publius Fellow at the Claremont Institute. His work has been cited by, among others, Forbes, The Economist, The Week, and Real Clear Politics. He has appeared on Canada’s Sun News Network, Al Jazeera America, Mike Huckabee’s radio show, and other radio programs.

Does that explain his angle?

Another RINO libtard who takes himself way too seriously. It was a red meat punchline. To be taken literally only if you have an agenda.

Too Fing bad for the author of this article.

Ye she could be more diplomatic but let’s get something straight.

Islam is an inferior Third World religion there is no society on Earth it has benefited.

It is one of the most intolerant movements on Earth.

We are not going to survive by kissing their butts while they demolish Christian Churches and take people’s freedoms.

This whole concern with Islam is perverse. Damn straight the world would be better off if those lands are converted to Christianity.

So he’s a jejune prig? Why does NR specialize in this brand of editor? I guess I get it, by the clone theory of hiring, there’s a nest of them there and they just keep attracting more of the same.

Jeesh!

Thank God we have Ivy League elites to tell us what ordinary Americans think about things.

Miserable ObamaCARE-promoting, gay marriage-imposing,
and open borders-loving, TEAM ROMNEY continues
its attack on American conservatives.

The GOP is Enemy of America and Freedom

G.O.P. = Gave. Obama. Power.

This article tells us more about National Review than it does about Sarah Palin.

Patrick, even the most "impressive" resume matters naught at times.

But, is she a contender for leading a forceful reclamation of natural rights? If said reclamation does start, this girly man should seek shelter in one of the many leftist crap holes that will remain such.

Do these presstitutes have nothing else to do but write about a failed 1/2 term quitter governor like Palin?

You know, Dan Quayle, Dick Cheney, Al Gore and Fritz Mondale actually were vice presidents and when was the last time you heard a peep about any of them? LOL

Yeah they should write about failed freepers like you. Honestly, you should stop posting. Your socialist cloaking device stopped working months ago.

Here is another hit piece from National Review's Robert Costa:

Sarah Palin soldiers on as a diminished figure in the Republican Party

You know, I also thought it odd so many would still support her after she quit her governorship mid term, her only national political position.

I don't see the point in antagonizing her fan club.

She ceased to be a serious political player a long time ago, and the waterboard/baptize comment was an unserious comment from an unserious person.
