Lupica: Tea Party darling Sarah Palin spouts nonsense with criticism of protesters in Egypt

Brent Bozell (or somebody like him) needs to break down the ratio of liberal columns about Palin vs. Conservative ones. It seems to me that guys like Lupica are far more obsessed with her than we are. Personally, I agree with George Will (imagine that), who recently suggested that the left is "trying to goad her into running in 2012."

[The Iceman Cometh]

You can just feel the hate dripping from every word.

[Gtown]

“She also questions the motives of the people in the street, the ones whose courage will make Egypt a better place when this is all over, whoever is in charge next month, or next fall.”

If Little Mike thinks Egypt’s going to be a better place when this is all over, he’s an even bigger idiot than I thought.

[Mr. K]

Isn’t he a sports writer?

[LaineyDee]

You can just feel the hate dripping from every word.

Yep... jealousy is a cancer of the soul....

[kingattax]

lupica probably has pictures of alan alda on every wall in his house.

[afnamvet]

A mediocre sports writer writes a hit piece on Sarah. I guess he needs invitations to liberal drunk fests.

[skeeter]

Obama just finished handling the Egypt situation as deftly as a brain surgeon wearing oven mits, and this clown is worried about what a private citizen is saying about Egypt to Pat Robertson. Another media stalker.

[Lazlo in PA]

Another left wing hack sports guy who thinks he is a brilliant political mind. Who in the world wants to emulate the failure Kieth Olbermann? Lupica isn't a real good sports writer either.

[paterfamilias]

Now that we have been freed of hack-sportswriter-turned-political-pundit Keith Olbermann, perhaps hack-sportswriter Mike Lupica wants to upgrade his job description and fill Olbermann’s intellectual void with his own intellectual void.

[Seruzawa]

All there is in the article is a couple of brief lines from Sarah and the rest is some sort of mind reading act and a psychotic tirade.

Naturally there is no way to comment on this screed. Typical liberal cowardice.

[Padams]

I agree. The left is not afraid of Palin. They think she is a joke. The media pays attention to Palin in the same way they do Charlie Sheen, Lady Gaga, and Paris Hilton. It’s all about blog hits, magazine sales, TV ratings, etc. We have a celebrity obsessed culture.

[RobbyS]

Well, George, she IS running. Don’t know if she is the best candidate, but one thing I know, she is the only one who can stand toe to toe on stage with Obama and skin him alive. That might not sell in todays market but she is tougher than he is. Or you are.

[misterrob]

I like it when sports writers step out....

They show how arrogant, condescending and liberal they really are. (Olberman, Gammons, Rick Reilly, etc., etc)

[Free Vulcan]

Another ‘so have you stopped beating your wife?’ Sarah Palin column, this time by ‘writer’ Mike Loopyca.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

I thought liberals were going to ignore Sarah Palin and not write/talk about her? what happened?

Incidentally, while I accept on principle that every ME government other than Israel is corrupt to some extent, I have yet to see any report from the left or the right detailing Mubarak's crimes (other than financial). I believe that all people are entitled to some form of Jeffersonian Democracy. However, I reject the idea that the protesters in Egypt are the moral equivalent of our own Founding Fathers. For one thing, with few exceptions, such as Hamilton, and Jefferson himself, most of the Fathers were a great deal older, and more educated. Emotional 20-somethings running a country certainly does not seem like a good idea to me. I'm not saying their cause is wrong, I'm just saying that I, and Lupica, and Palin, and President Obama, might want to sit back and gather more information before forming a definite Opinion. To his credit, that seems to be what Obama is doing. He appears to be hedging towards the protesters, but given the common ME bias against the America, I would be doing the same thing. The eventual winner can not be allowed to feel that the US ever opposed their cause. The situation is way out of Lupica’s pay grade. Perhaps Al Gore will start a newspaper to go along with his cable channel that no rational person ever heard of.

[RobbyS]

That speech was no joke. In one phrase, “Road to Ruin,” she set the tone for taking the fight to Obama. Even if you think of her as merely a cheerleader, she is a damn good one, and bookkeeper types like Paul Ryan need to let their inner Irish out.

[SamuraiScot]

FYI, Lupica is an idiot when he talks about sports, too.

[LRoggy]

Too bad Jason Whitlock didn’t follow through on his urge towards Lupica. I know if I was on the Sports Reporters on Sunday morning I’d have b***h-slapped Lupica long ago.
