If Governor Palin wishes to pursue further national political ambitions there are many knowledgeable individuals whose expertise would benefit her. Fred Thompson is certainly one. So is John Bolton. The late Paul Weyrich would have been another. Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams should not be omitted, either. I could go on and on, of course...

For help in developing a public demeanor of sheer devastating effectiveness in handling the media and other pompous critics, however, she should consider hanging around with Ted Nugent and Dennis Miller... /g

Oh please, not Dennis Miller. I have affection for the guy, but it stops there -- he is desperate to be hip and it shows. Same with Laura Ingraham. They're like Ted Baxters with their voices when it comes to Too Cool for School.

True cool -- McQueen, Miles Davis, Bogie, Bugs Bunny -- happens. They didn't work at being cool -- it just happened.

At least Ann doesn't try to be Hip, I'll give her that.
