Ummm... There’s just a little problem with your analogy. Haley Barbour has a job. Sarah had one of those once. Barbour runs a state and he’s also chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Sarah Palin turned in the reins (whether the reason was valid or not) to give fluff speeches and go on a book tour.
You really don’t think you’re being unfair?
Your sarcasm gives away your true intents. Gov. Palin was being sued into bankruptcy, and every claim was thrown out.
Regarding Barbour, how much time does it take to pen an op-ed, be-it on Facebook, for the WSJ, a blog, you name it? No, I'm not being unfair one bit.
Somone HAD to lead the charge, any kind of charge, and Haley Barbour decided not to be the leader the country needed when it needed it the most.
Good governor? Sure, more good than bad, from what I can see. National leader? No.
