Shut up Frumplepie, you non-American gap-toothed liberal fairy-queen.

In today's Washington Post, Bill Kristol asks tauntingly "[T]he mainstream media and the Republican establishment. … tend not only to dislike and disdain Palin, they also want to bury her chances now as a presidential possibility. What are they afraid of?"
That's easy to answer: They -- we! -- are afraid that Palin's distinctive combination of sex appeal, self-pity, and cultural resentment has a following in today's GOP. We are afraid that it is not utterly inconceivable that she could win the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, and we are afraid that if she did so she would lead the party to a 1964-style debacle, accompanied by unnecessary losses down the ballot.
We are afraid that even if Palin does not win the nomination, that she will still help to brand the Republican party in a very damaging way. No national candidacy has ever collapsed so rapidly and totally as Sarah Palin's in 2008. The evidence is strong that she is the only vice presidential nominee in history to have had a significant impact on voting preferences -- and negatively so. Since voting day, she has only continued to lose ground...

Not guilty! (Oooops, no picture yet but still not guilty!)
Another piece of elitist chaff. The article and the author.
Shut up Frumplepie, you non-American gap-toothed liberal fairy-queen.
Lovely, more “reach-across-the-aisle-for-the-sake-of-bipartisanship” BS!
We see more negative stuff about Sarah Palin every day. But we know that if the liberals are afraid of her, then SHE IS EXACTLY WHO WE NEED IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!
The fact that the GOP leadership isn’t backing her is just sickening! I think they’re getting jealous because SARAHPAC is winning all the donations and the tap to the RNC is running dry.
I agree with you !
Mid 40’s, 5 kids, a grandmother to boot.
I know several women who don’t look like that and they aren’t half her age !!
Rebellion is brewing!!
DONT TREAD ON ME!!
Who is this idiot?
Did I miss the satire tag?
Yeah, let’s blame Palin. Forget that McCain acted like a buffoon in the campaign. Palin brought so many more votes to McCain than she cost him. The only way the GOP is going to win is to have a CREDIBLE small-government candidate. Palin is the only one I know of.
David Frum. And little pi$$-ants like this wonder why republicans are losing. Maybe you should stop asking democrats for permission to exist, little Davy!
Frum=useless puke.
You want more goofy and suspect Frumple pics?
As opposed to say ... another RINO ... we did so well with that strategy in 2008, didn't we David?
Piss off, you beltway elitist asshat.
Without Palin, McCain would have received 45% or less of the popular vote.
He isn’t even an American for goodness sake... Yet this Canuck liberal snob thinks he can tell US Conservatives whom to vote for?
Be afraid, RINOs. Be very afraid.
Kristol fully and thoroughly understands the thinking of the 100 or so people he hangs around with. He hasn’t got a flipping clue about the rest of us.
Steve, you know as well as I do that Frum's an idiot and a loser. I wish he'd call back in to Mark Levin's show and get a second helping of Mark's righteous scorn and contempt.
I really don't want somebody in office who thinks that $500,000 is nothing.
We have that already, in Spades.
Wow.....
Hey, how’d that McCain thing work out there Frumpy?
