Republican backers such as New York Times columnist David Brooks are kidding themselves. Do they truly think many Americans agree that Sarah Palin "was surpassing all expectations" during Thursday's debate with Joe Biden?
Speaking for the GOP everywhere, Brooks (often a thoughtful commentator from the right) acknowledged in his Friday column that Republicans had been extremely nervous about Palin's appearance Thursday.
They had a right to have low expectations of Palin, given her sputtering non-answers in recent interviews with CBS's Katie Couric.
But Brooks practically clapped himself silly over Palin's performance.

Gov. Palin unfiltered is what the leftist MSM hates with a passion, a real American, and thus their hack edited interviews.
The MSM has been exposed as the Emperor with no clothes.

Looking at his last name, I’m wondering if he has a problem with strong women.
How much of her interview with Katie is on the cutting room floor?
Got that right! I wondered that myself. He’s probably thinking “who does that uppity infidel creature think she is?”
From a Muslim author. What a shock.
Nice to see Hemingway’s alma mater is still a left-wing sanitary rag.

ROTFL
This left faking jihadistist thinks he being clever. With a 17% job approval rating for congress, a 26% job approval rating for the president, and the American public up in arms over the Wall Street bail out, he's gonna float the idea that campaigning as a Washington outsider is inane.
how come when Obama “holds his own,” it’s a win? when she does more than “hold her own,” it’s a loss... too late... people saw what they saw and no one is going to tell them that she “barely met low expectations.” Biden’s been on the national scene for 30-plus years... she for five weeks... please—he didn’t live up to what should have been expected of him...

So they think that Biden -— a pol with 30+ years of Washington experience, is the champ over an outsider with 5 weeks experience?
That is some ‘win’.
