Now they want her to be PC, and to be responsible, according to their values of course. No thanks!

"Palin’s clout grows—at least in the Republican Party, where she has just endorsed another seven of her female “mama grizzly” candidates. Palin may have moxie, she may be entertaining. But as clout grows, so does responsibility, and one would like to think there comes a point where even she should know better, too."

The last time I saw a Newsweek article, it was (appropriately) lining the bottom of a birdcage.

O’Reilly just had Dr. Laura’s clip on. I see DL’s point, and I agree. But her use of the N word 11 times on the air was wrong and she should have known it at the time. Likewise, Sarah jumping in when she didn’t need to was incorrect — sometimes Sarah just needs to be quiet and this was one of those.

It’s amazing what Twitter has done to political discourse.

Yeah, like political discourse was SO highbrow before Twitter.

I honestly think THIS was the last issue of Newsweek that I purchased. My favorite cover. Still have it somewhere. Too bad the rest of the magazine went completely over the cliff during the next 20 years.

The phony outrage over an innocently used word is just a tool used by the left to destroy conservative voices. When RATS say it they get a pass. Its a shame Laura S turned coward and ran. The leftys win again.
