Palin’s greatest asset, and ours as well, is that she is in the heads of so many people. Her best service to our cause is to continue as a commentator, and someone who will stand and say things that could not be said by a president of all the people, to speak poignant truths. But I would vote for her if she runs... personally, I think she wields more power from her position as a mom and stateswoman.
Yes, I’m sure Gov Palin knows that North Korea is not our ally. But leaders and potential leaders must try to stop and think before they speak, especially when we are talking about 2 countries on the brink of war.

CORPSE-MAN!!!!!!!!
I have stated previously that when it comes to International References Sarah might allude to she needs to be spot on as what is happening now is exactly what would occur. Media would run with it. She will not be given even an inch for common errors all other politicians make....they are out for her and it is obvious so now, even on the International Stage. It was said, "Whoever controls the media controls the world". And much truth to how they will always frame what's spoken to advance their cause....which is uniting Sovereign Countries under Global Governance. Sarah Palin is in the way of this agenda in their eyes. She is all about our Sovereignty...and so am I.
I am a huge Sarah fan. Having said that I cringed when she had this brain freeze on Beck and it is an indication that she has work to do. I do not know who is advising her but my advise would be, slow down, fully engage brain then engage mouth. Speed of response in not an indicator of thoughtfulness. Its pretty clear she hasnt thought about the Korean issue and her answer was incoherent.
If she learns to overcome her urge to to respond, then think, she will kick their butts all the way to the white house. if not, she will be easily marginalized.
There will always be people who think Sarah Palin is stupid.
That is only because they are not smart enough to understand what she says and what she is.
I heard that interview in its entirety and what impressed me most was that it was totally off the cuff, a real person speaking her mind and she was right on track on every topic they discussed.
;-/
The real issue is (or should be) that her response to a very specific question on an issue of global importance was sophomoric smoke and lacking any substance that would indicate a grasp of the long on-going situation.
"Stand by our allies" just doesn't cut it...not from somebody who says she could beat the incumbant.
ON the other hand, don’t we continually bring up his “57 states” quote, and his “muslim faith” quote, even though we know they were both gaffes?
It’s absurd for a major news outlet not to delve into the actual facts of a matter; but it would be silly to believe Palin’s critics won’t quote this for the next two years, just as we will quote Obama’s gaffes until he’s no longer President.
((((PING))))
I see you are a real fan.
I am so impressed.
And thankful for you undying support.
Ahhh. The enemedia strikes again.
Don’t they know that the more they go after Sarah, the stronger she gets?
She still has time. But given the popular opinion of her, she needs to get on top of this, or she’ll never overcome the negatives.
Not a good idea to compare Palin to Obama. He’s so low on the scale of standards it brings her down. Most anyone could excell beyond Bo.
And lets not forget ...my Muslim faith. Or,Austrias language - Austrian!
********************
The Press Corpse never repeats these things though.
As the Weekly Standard reports....this only MAKES HER CRITICS LOOK STUPID:
Some of Palin’s usual antagonists are going nuts over this slip of the tongue, but they don’t point out that she correctly identified North Korea as our enemy literally 8 seconds before the mix-up: “We’re not having a lot of faith the White House is going to come out with a strong enough policy to sanction what it is that North Korea is going to do.”
I'd let the 57 states thing go, if it were not for there being 57 muslim states in the world. Nope, too weird to let this one go like that.
