Why does Sarah Palin continue to receive so much media coverage? Peggy Noonan has a theory. The Wall Street Journal columnist believes the MSM is up to what she considers "mischief": attempting to make Sarah Palin the face of the Republican party.
Noonan propounded her premise during an appearance today on Morning Joe.

The good news is that the room is clean and spacious. The bad news is that you have to share it with Kathleen Parker.
Are you kidding me? Jindal peformed an exorcism...that may come back to haunt him but, be that as it may, he is definitely conservative.
Yuo're right, and your thought applies not only to the poster above, but to people like Noonan who have a public persona, and who don't blink and don't consider it an outrage that a doofus like Biden is elected to be the VP. What a swamp the DC/NY establisment is!
A patently false statement. You are going to have a rough few years ahead, dealing with all us stupid rednecks.
If they’re really that dumb, God bless them.
And if Peg is dumb enough to think the press’ “mischief” in this matter is a bad thing...well, God bless her, too.
The media hates Palin’s popularity because it points up the fact that the religious right has not capitulated and that the fight for religious freedom (the right to oppose Gay marriage)is on going.
"Ukraine and Georgia have also been developing their ties with NATO. Their leaders have declared their readiness to advance a NATO Membership Action Plan, MAP, to prepare for the rights and obligations of membership. They are working to consolidate democratic reforms and to undertake new responsibilities in their relationship with the Alliance. I welcome the desire and actions of these countries to seek closer ties with NATO and hope that NATO responds favorably to their request, consistent with its criteria for membership. " The One - Monday, March 3, 2008GIBSON: Because Putin has said he would not tolerate NATO incursion into the Caucasus.
PALIN: Well, you know, the Rose Revolution, the Orange Revolution, those actions have showed us that those democratic nations, I believe, deserve to be in NATO.
Putin thinks otherwise. Obviously, he thinks otherwise, but...
GIBSON: And under the NATO treaty, wouldn't we then have to go to war if Russia went into Georgia?
PALIN: Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help.
But NATO, I think, should include Ukraine, definitely, at this point and I think that we need to -- especially with new leadership coming in on January 20, being sworn on, on either ticket, we have got to make sure that we strengthen our allies, our ties with each one of those NATO members.
We have got to make sure that that is the group that can be counted upon to defend one another in a very dangerous world today. - Gibson interview
I'm sorry if Governor Palin's view on the US meeting treaty obligations IF Georgia becomes a treaty party is not as nuanced as your's and Obama's.
WE OBSERVE ... AND THEEN WE FORM VIEWS....
SARAH WAS AN ANSWER TO PRAYERS. mo
sHE IS WHAT THE rEPUBLICAN PARTY MUST HAVE TO DRAW THE EXCITEMENT OF THE PEOPLE.
SHE COMMENTED SHE WANTED TO MEET THE PEOPLE MORE THAN SHE WAS ALLOWED TO DO. lET ME GO TO MICHIGAN AND TALK TO THE WORKERS ...
SARAH IS A FORCE WITH HER GOD GIVEN GIFTS. WHY THE campaign advisores kept her out of the public for the first month after her debut is a myastery and actually under cut her effectiveness. A plot? Maybe. Why else keep her quiet after her smashing selection and acceptance speeches?
What is the reason there are so many ridiculing comments from the likes of David Letterman ... every night? Also Craig Fersuson? and commentators too. Regularly?
To weary the public of her with ill framed suggestions and commentary, Mostly all of it is erroneously based on enuendos and nonsense.
Unfortunately the people typically do tend to believe there is truth in what they constantly hear about anyone. This power of gossip, slander is evily intended. It is not truth.
They desire to weaken her appeal, to demean her leadership and goverment policies. Ridiculing her killing and eating moose, bear, having a expensive designer handbag ... attacks on her family, ... anything to lessen her fresh, genuine power to make sound decisions,and remain uncorrupted.
Remember Christians are cast as extreme right wing bigots, less than intelligent Bible thumpers, ... et.
This is goning to continue until the next election ... so she will not have overall support from the conservatives of this nation.
OPPS!

The MSM??? You mean the media that sent teams of "investigators" to Alaska to dig up trivial dirt on Sarah Palin? That media?
I want what Peggy's smokin'. She's seeing way outside of reality on this. It's WE, THE CONSERVATIVES that like Sarah Palin. Noonan's hatred clouds her vision.
Peggy didn't jump the shark, the shark jumped Peggy!
Then you haven't looked.
I'm from Louisiana. I know his record from the day he first got into government. He's conservative.
Are we supposed to be listening to Peggy Noonan?
Somehow I don’t give a damn what Noonan says any longer. I didn’t read the excerpt and don’t care to.
*******************
I've checked out his record. He seems conservative to me.
Yes, give her the benefit of the doubt but she has to prove herself. She should not be the ‘face’ of the GOP until she does.
“McCain and Obama did EXACTLY the same thing, i.e., “did little more than repeat ... applause lines over and over again on the campaign trail”. Why criticize Sarah for it but not the others?”
they did townhalls. They did lots of interviews. They wrote books and policy papers. Sarah seemed like she was nothing more than a parrot.
